I have been looking to buy an xj for a bit now, ran across a 89 good shape but seller lists it as grand Cherokee. My understanding was grands didn't appear till 93? It also has 4 headlights 2 per side one on top of the other. Any help with this model?

If its a xj with 4 headlights is a wagoneer trim like shown.As far as the owner calling it a grand cherokee sometimes people have no idea what they own.

Only things different on the wagoneer is the header panel the head lights the grill the tail lights and the trim around the fake wood.Besides all that its just a xj with a lot of options like leather power seats and power windows mirrors and locks.Is it on craigslist or somewhere online for sale?
