well i bought mine 89 with my brother we each payed 250 for it with 166k miles, and it ran and drove great when we test drove it, and pretty much everything worked, except the right rear window didn't like to go up, and the body is pretty decent and the floors and whole underneath are pretty clean, then once I registered the day after i bought it, I went to test it capabilities off road, and i get on a hill and it stops driving. then the next day it doesn't start anymore....so what i thought was a really good deal, is now not too great unless both are easy fixes like think they are.

 

1999 Sport...$600 I had a bad knock which I later found to be a craked piston Im currently rebuilding an engine for it

 

1996 SE traded a 91 Corsica which I got for free and drove through the winter, and $200. Drove it 100 miles to home with no issues. Very little rust top side, but needs some floor pan work.

 

1992 cherokee sport

bad ujoints, and one shock and spring needed to be replaced
had 112k miles

850 bucks

 

$1800 for 96 with 224,000. Engine runs good and body in great shape, but there a lot more to fix. So far I got $3000 in it and still need more.
Just wander why I have AM only and no FM on my radio?.

 

I paid 2600 for our 92 Cherokee 4 door auto all stock...extremely clean interior.... mileage around 216k older couple who towed it behind an RV...even got the tow bar in the deal lol....we have put about 700 in it so far in new tires an replacing the front main seal...next step is lift an armor...any recommendations?

 

1516 for my baby and it was a steal it was originally 2000 but talked him down

 

10 years old and only 41000 miles garage kept and got it for 5300

 

$1300 for a 1992 laredo w/ 148k nothing wrong with at the time i bought it

 

I paid $2,500 for my 1998 a little over a year ago it had 150,000 miles on it then.

 

I paid 3500 sometime in 2004.

 

Paid 20 dollars for my 87 and drove it ten miles home and had to spend 67dollars on a battery.Not a bad deal.

 

$ 2500 169*** mi with the lift and tires

 

might as well go through the list of previous XJ's

89 2dr 5spd- $1000
90 2dr 5spd- $1000
93 4dr Aw4- $2000
91 4dr aw4- $500
87 4dr aw4 d44 $200
92 2dr 5spd- free

i think thats all of them...

 

HUH! interesting read here
a phrase comes to mind: "actual prices may vary..."
***********

I've traded my '96 VW golf GL with over 90K for '96 Sport with 200K. Some said that it was not the best "deal", but I could not be happier at the end
So far I've "invested" somewhat around $1,000 or so for new parts (brakes, radiator, injectors,sparks and bunch of other minor stuff) and a TON of time in it. ...and Counting ..seems, like never ending journey.
Lots of cleaning and "body" care behind as well.
The engine runs great , though...bang bang bang

keep posting, guys...
