Default How to price my '98 Cherokee?

Selling my '98 two door, 5 speed, 4 cyl Cherokee which I've driven for the last 10 years and there seems to be a huge range of prices that these things go for. 126K, runs great, clean body, no rust and good paint. Usual headliner issues but not as bad as Ive seen. Airbag light does come on sometimes.

Blue book is around $1000 but seems like some Cherokees are more sought after than others by enthusiasts.

Selling in central Virginia. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

I know sorry I am out of the country at the moment. Has stock everything and the cheap wheels. Forgot to mention it has 4wd. Looks a lot the one in this but with two doors. https://richmond.craigslist.org/cto/...674517174.html

My guess is that 4WD, 5 speed, 2 door, low mileage, clean body + interior helps my cause and the 4 cyl engine hurts. I just dont know how much. Any info helps even if it isn't exact. I can post picks in a week or so.

Thanks for the help

List it on here ! People sell them all the time ! Might do better selling it up north or in the salt belt ! From what you've described to me, I'd start out at $2500. Leave you some wiggle room.

I think you would. Especially if it's pretty clean, no rust !!! Start at $2500, you can always come down ! Some people don't even barter nor even question the price. I got my 99 here in Ky, for $800 !!! The PO assumed it was a POS, but to me a diamond in the rough ! A Jeep guy will probably jew ya down !!!

Another vote for $2500. I'm not too far from you. I would expect to see that listed at $2500. Two doors aren't as common, so they tend to draw a higher price. The 4 cyl shouldn't kill the deal.
