How much for the 98? I paid 2900 for my 99 w/ 170k, 2500 seems like a decent price

The 98 has a problem with the A/C, and bad brakes, guy thinks its a rear drum leaking, I could always put my d44 under it before I sold my 88.

Thats a little steep imo I would just do a complete swap and then sell your old xj as a stocker. Wont get much but your new xj will already be built and you can have some extra cash in your pocket.

What do you think the 88 would be worth as a stocker? Its gonna look weird cause it has the olive paint job.
