Ok I have came across a 1990 xj. 5 speed 4 door 4x4. 255k miles and has some rust in the floor pans. Wants $1000 for it. Worth it?

Id pass on it. I paid 1500 for my 98 with 190k on it. Zero rust, brand new 30x9.5 bfgs, needing the brakes blead and an allginment. Save your pennies and find something for a few more bucks thats in nice shape.

He said he is sick of email 500 dollar offers, take him 600 bucks cash to his door step and I bet he will take it. If he is passive on the 600, tell him how big of a pile of **** the thing is and slowly pick every little thing out thats wrong with it.

I'd say pass. Unless he will take 500 bucks.

I wouldn't think twice about $1000 if it didn't have that stupid camo paint job. $500 max.
