Arrow Why So Cheap?

Check out this listing:

http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...r_id=285185959

Why do you think the price is so low? He said there was some rust, but it doesn't too bad, and the miles aren't even that high.

Any ideas?

Chris.

Dunno. It looks pretty decent, I can see a little rust bubble around the fender but the rockers look OK from this angle. Maybe the floor is rotted out?

I'd say it's worth checking out.

No, he's got them, they just aren't installed. The hatch is off too, if you read the ad.

Well that was a helpful contribution

For what hes asking its probably not bad but it really depends on what you want it for. Pictures can be deceiving. No way to tell how bad any of this is from this photo. If your asking if its even worth checking out then yes, at that price fo show! XJ's don't last long online and at that price you can't hesitate. The worst you can do is say no and walk away. Check it out and report back!

depends on what kind of work it needs. not everybody likes XJs. maybe he's just tired of it, and trying to get rid of it. but even then, $1350 is too specific of a number. usually a private seller will ask for a whole number, like 1500 or 2000. i'd call to see what's up. there doesn't seem to be anything major wrong with it.

Scam or not, it just sold. That's ok, I'm not even ready to buy yet.
