I'm considering getting myself back into another XJ, 4wd this time. This one popped up on CL. Looks pretty clean from the ad. What do you folks think?

You better jump on it now before it's gone.

That's what I figured, just wanted to make sure I wasn't the only one, lol. Waiting to hear back on when I can go see it.

If it has no rust or hidden problems i would buy it.

Going to look at this today around 5 when the guy gets off work.

Can anyone tell me what is different about the Country?

aroundincircles

it looks like its just a trim level. Upgraded wood grain trim, soft touch door pannels, etc.

Dro

Okay, thanks. I couldn't find much on it.

See if they will let you take it to a shop, and call Knuckle busters in mesa, see if they are free to do a once over on it. Its often worth the 75 bucks they might charge to do that. Its not a bad price, but not great if it needs some work.

Country got full set of skid plates and one inch lift from the factory

Well, unfortunately it was a bust. Most everything up top looked good, but one rear quarter had a hand sized rust hole in it and everything underneath was rotting away. One hole down under there was big enough for me to put 3 fingers into.

I saw that, shook his hand, said thank you and walked away.

Sorry man, but it was a wise choice to walk away from that one.

Dro

Thanks. And I agree. Hopefully something else will pop up.

Don't gloss over the older/cheaper ones. Mine cost me $500 bucks, and needed about 1300 in repairs, but its running good now. has a small oil leak and needs an exhaust.... but other than that its in really good shape. no rust anywhere on it.

Dro

Thanks, theres a few more that I want to look at that are priced cheaper than the one I looked at. Some have been up for sale for a while.
