Question Is The Price Right?

[IMG][/IMG]
Dealer wants $7600 for it. 2001 Sport, everything works. No issues, runs like a dream, NP242, and Goodyear Wranglers with almost full tread. Completely stock with 115,xxx on the clock. Dealer originally wanted 8 grand but talked him down to $7600 and he won't budge any more. I've been looking for a good condition stock Cherokee in my area (central PA) for about a year now and this is the best looking one I've seen around. Opinions anyone? I've been looking forever and I don't want to pass this one up, but at the same time, I have a hard time justifying almost 8 grand for a 13-year old Cherokee.

Hi..

xj price going up in the last 6-10 month but in my opinion this dealer is asking very high price for this cherokee you can find better deals ..
in my opinion it worth 4300 to 4800 if its in great condition ..
7000 to 7600k is for 5 speed

Have a great day

Thanks for your input.

How much did you get your '01 for?

Not worth it.

I don't care how 'clean' it is, there's no way I'm paying that much for a stock XJ. I bought by 99 sport with a 4.5 Rubicon Express lift + JCR bumper for 4000.

Just my opinion, but keep looking good sir.

That dealer's smoke'in Crack! If he thinks that will bring that kind of money.

I bought my GC 2 yrs. ago for way less than that and it was perfect inside and out with every option a "Overland" edition did have more miles on it.

He's doing drugs. You can get a jeep just like that all day long for $4,000-$4,500. Keep looking, you can find something much better for much less than that insane price.

That's pretty high. I paid $5995 for mine and it's a limited, leather interior, 4x4 with the NP242 transfer case, and it was clean with a perfect maintenance record.

The head cracking is always blown way out of proportion.. my dad bought a '00 new and head is fine 184000 mi later. And this one has a C8.25 instead of D35

I would have no hesitation if it had even 30k less miles

I paid 4000 for mine with 20,000 miles on it in 2010- only because it had the tow package/skid plates etc. I say no way.

I was going to say around 5k. It looks really nice, but it's still a 13yo jeep with 115k miles.
