what did you pay for your xj?
$4400 2000 classic 4wd 4.0. 1 previous owner, super clean in and out, 135k miles, minor surface rust (fixed) on inside bottom edge of doors, excellent maintenance especially the cooling system. I proceeded to rear end someone less than a month after getting it and even though it barely bent the left front fender and needed a new header and bumper it blew the air bags and so it was a total loss. Insurance paid me 6700 for it and I bought it back for 900 (clean title) since it was over 10 yrs old, professionally repaired for 2200 with used airbags (not repacks). The accident was so minor I drove it home and never even needed an alignment !! Can't believe the bags blew but in the end glad they did! Runs and drives and looks great!

My first was an 88' which was free technically. I don't remember the miles on it. I did have to pay roughly $600 to get it street worthy that was like $450 in tires though. And for my current 90' which was about 185,xxx I paid $500.

Ended up paying 3500 cash after all the fees and such. 98, automagic, NP231, 8.25. Bought it with 161k and it now has 155k.
(165-167k)
Here's what it looked like when I got it. (pic grabbed from ebay listing)

And what she looks like now. (I'll be putting the bullbar back on in a couple of days)
