that first one is beautiful! except for the cancer that is the perfect make and model IMHFO. haha

the second one is worth a look since he said he's a pushover and will come down on price
and doesnt know much about it? because what's a V6? I have never heard of this on an xj..

both are worth a look

200k miles? You've just started breaking it in. a guy I know just rolled over 500k still running like new.

As for the XJs listed, I wouldnt touch them... I've been burnt too many times by cheapo jeeps.

the white 97+ looks decent.

woah that expands your budget a bit. I was thinking you were only looking at $1000-$2000
I am partial to the OLDER body styles. build it, beat it, break it, get a different one.
all depends on what you wanna do. mild build DD I'd vote for the 97+ as well

fix yours... you buy an older one and they rattle, and shake and just feel wrong compared to the newer ones. i've had both. i sold my 01 cuz i couldn't afford it at that time now i have a 1990, love the thing but its not like the 01... its, well just older and you can feel it
