Default too much?

hey everyone.. noob here.. Looking to get into the XJ fun,, I found a mint one owner 2000 SE with 88,000 miles for 5000. I could care less about power options and such. Just wondering if I should jump on it, or go for a cheaper option with more miles. ive seen some with just over 100 for 3 to 4 but no where near the condition of this one

If its in good condition thats not too bad.

Check to see if it has the bad head. You'll see the casting numbers between the 3 and 4 intake runners.

Honestly it depends on what you are going to use it for. If your going to beat on it and take it offroad then body doesnt really matter because it will get beat to ****. But if your looking for a mall crawler then you are on the right track.

Sounds good! Just make sure it's really is in super top condition. it's the hidden things that bite you later. visible condition doesn't always mean perfect!
