Default Thinking about selling my XJ

I have been thinking about selling my XJ lately.

I have too many cars, and none of them get good gas mileage, so I want to buy a little beater that gets very good mileage (Im looking at a 04 VW Jetta with the TDI and a 5speed)

Here is the problem, all the car appraisal sites have my Jeep listed for ~500 to 1200 dollars.

Any ideas what its worth?

91 XJ 2 door, 4.0 HO, AX-15, D30/D35, Rubicon Express superflex 3.5", 33x12.5-15 Baja Claws, Cragar d-window 15x8 wheels, just finished "restoring" the interior, nice kenwood stereo, the down side is that it has 290K on the clock and 3.07 gears.

I'd recomend, Sell something else, Keep the XJ & buy the VeeDub. Those are my rides, Vee Dub is my DD, & XJ is my Weekend Basher!

I honestly wouldn't sell it man It looks pretty good I love the looks of 2dr manual trans. If you must i'd throw it up on Craiglist or here for 3K to start with.

I think out of the cars I have, it would be the easiest to sell around here.

Not that I want to. If I had more space I would keep them all.

Jeezus, if ya have to.. The I'd agree with the 3 large. That thing looks mint!! So what if its got mileage... We call that broken in... Also calling the engine "as reliable as an anvil" is a good selling point.

its a 15 footer. Any closer and you can see the scratches on the side of the paint, and the waivyness of the bodywork.

not to mention my super faded hood paint
