Default Lookin' to buy a 1991 XJ...help

Hey all, I'm going to look at a 91 XJ on Sunday and need some input on things to look at when I go to check it out. It will be my first XJ, its a great price and it has a lot of new parts such as gas tank, fuel pump, a fresh tune-up and front and rear brakes. Any help would be great! Thanks!!!

Rusted out floors, ripped door jambs where the door hinges are welded, screwy Bendix 9 ABS braking system, broken lift gate strut mounts at the rear hatch, oil leaks, cooling system condition, transmission fluid level and condition, loose steering components are things that should be looked at.

This is what he said its got or has been done;
91 Jeep Cherokee f/s. 4.0 inline 6 cylinder, Auto. 4x4, low miles 155,000. Jeep is in good condition, mechanically sound, and always maintained, pretty much rust free except for a small 3 inch spot on the back passenger fender. Interior is super clean except for a sagging headliner, seats are mint with seat covers.

NEW PARTS: Monroe sensatrac shocks, steering stabilizer, new 20 gal gas tank, fuel pump, full tune up (plugs, wires, air filter, fuel filter, brakes except for the back drums bc I bought the wrong size and never got around to it but all internals are new, catalytic converter, muffler, power steering pump, belt, JVC radio with ipod and all the other goodies, oil changed before 3000 miles with Valvoline Max life and Mopar oil filter, and other small things. I have all the receipts as well.

But I will check the other areas you told me about.
Thanks!
