Locally there's one priced just like it on a car lot for $5995. I'm sure they're willing to come down on that. If mine is worth half as much as that then I'd hopefully get $2000-2500 out of it wouldn't you think?

 

That is delusional. You aren't gonna get diddly squat for your salvage title Jeep with the jimmied ignition. Put the pipe down.

Do you want reality or do you want smoke blown up your ****? Get real.

 

That's pretty much what clean stock xj's without a salvage title go for here. Your looking at half that with a salvage title. Maybe $800-$1000, it will probably end up being someone's "hunting truck".

 

Thanks for an honest answer without being a ____ like others on here.

 

Why does one need a clean title for a trail rig or hunting truck? It's only a couple words on a piece of paper for a vehicle that books for practically nothing either way.

I guess I need to put an ignition switch in it for $60 and see what I can get from it from there.

 

I am glad that you acknowledge that your Jeep is worth practically nothing...because it is. It is worth less with that jacked up ignition switch.

That you didn't like the answers you got here does not make them untrue.

 

Ignition switch is a cheap and easy fix, so do it. Salvage title does not necessarily destroy your value if it was fixed right. Heck, the new tires alone make it worth more than what you're hearing on this thread. List it for $2500, be honest, lower price until you find a buyer.

 

Man they're all practically worthless. They're 14+ years old. They're hobbies now and there's no KBB for hobbies. That's why I was polling the expert community but obviously I've ran on to some non experts along the way. It takes all kinds of people to make up the world though. I understand that and I'm ok with it.

Thanks to everyone who has seriously and politely replied. That's all I was looking for. I guess the Internet gives rise to the smart _____ in some people. God Bless you all.

 

I do agree with this. Start high, I would even go as high as $3000 since they will talk you down. Just don't set your expectations too high. Fixing the ignition will definitely help your cause though which means more $$.

 

Did you find me to be a smart alec or a dummy non-expert? A smart guy can pretend to be dumb, but a dumb guy can't pretend to be smart.

How in the heck did you expect any 'expert' to gauge the value of your heep without even so much as a picture or details greater than the year, a salvage title and a broken key switch?

I am glad you are getting rid of your Cherokee cus you sure aren't tough enough to own one. These things aren't for pussies and an expert is going to pay you diddly squat for your heep.

Am I being too rude?

 

I review Craigslist regularly and see salvage title XJs on there all the time. Not many of them are listed at $3000, and when they are they tend to stay for sale for a long time. Usually they're in the $1000 to $1500 range, up to $2K max. Having more than 200K miles on it will reduce the value toward the lower end.

Of course, that will depend in large part on what the actual damage to the vehicle was and its condition now. Body damage that the previous owner fixed himself could mean that you can't even tell it was ever wrecked, or it could mean that the thing looks like a Frankenjeep now. Damage to the rear side panels has to be welded, and that can easily total an XJ despite the fact that it's not a difficult repair IF you know how to do body work. Damage to other parts of the Jeep could involve varying degrees of repair.

OP needs to post some pics. But without them, I'd say list it at $1500 and be willing to get talked down to $1000. I doubt I would pay more than $1000 for this XJ if I were in the market. Remember, the guy who buys it will likely have to have the title rehabilitated if he wants to register it, and a guy buying one for a camp/farm/trail rig is not going to want to sink a load of money into a base vehicle he can't drive on the street.

 

Take it to that expert dealer you said had one for 6k...they will give you enough pennies to hold in your hands for it. God is Truth and you are not prepared for it. Practice more.

 

Sounds like I hit a nerve.

Also, if I did put up a picture you wouldn't have been able to tell that the title said rebuilt which seemed to be your issue with it before.

 

Rebuilt titles in KY can be driven on the roads like normal after inspection from the Sheriff. This jeep was hit on drivers fender and two driver doors. Only sheet metal damage. I've known the jeep its whole life. They replaced all of that and it looks great. Just adding to the discussion. Thanks for your reply.
