You got another 50-150k miles if things we're done and maintained correctly.

Got any leaks? If so, fix em.

99s are good years, the last of the great XJs.

Good looking Jeep. Just remember regular oils changes and take it on trails every chance you get and it will last forever.

Do you have floors?

I paid 900$ for mine with no floors!

So you got a decent deal, that's for sure!
