$3400 for my 2001 xj from the original owner. 121k on the dash. All it needed was a tune up and brake pads. not the best deal in the world but I'd rather spend the extra buck for an unmolested jeep than to buy cheaper and be stuck with problems . It's my DD as well.

$1100, needed... nothing actually. Paint was in horrible condition even though it was redone only a year before they sold it. Guy was selling it because he didn't want his teenage son driving without airbags.

Just bought my 4th jeep 3rd XJ and still have all 3 ( not much longer, parting out the worst one ).....$1000 Australian '95 classic, 266,000 kilometres, black, 4 new 31's, snorkel, 2 inch lift, LPG (propane) system, leather heated electric seats, overhead console, full electrics, alpine CD player. Bad bits - broken windscreen, front bumper damaged, right front quarter panel damaged, 1 bolt snapped in steering box, distributor bearing shot, rear main leak ???, rear drive shaft Ujoints stuffed. Need to turn ignition on with the key then open hood and short a wire to the battery to start !

Just bought mine yesterday. Paid $1,000 for a 1997 4-Door Cherokee Sport, 4.0L 4WD. Has 200k miles but I feel it was a fair deal. It runs great has a leaking transmission line but if it doesn't leak it's not a Jeep. I'm going to be able to build it up much cheaper than my JK.
