Don't know much about the v6 either but if I were looking for a new xj I would hold out for a 4.0, shouldn't be too hard to find one in decent shape for a reasonable price.
Its a gm 2.8 v6 its kinda gutless and not as reliable as the 4.0 would be.To me that jeep is priced high its been wrecked before the front end color is different then the rest of the jeep.And having the v6 id pass on it.

Pass on that one. The 2.8 GM V6 is a junk engine that leaks more oil than it holds. No lie, you put 5 quarts in it and it will leak 7 quarts out. That is why they don't make the 2.8 anymore, Big Oil didn't like the competition in oil production so they killed the engine. Look it up.

It had a lot of problems to say the least, not sure if it made OPEC rich or not

Yes, the second one looks much better. Looks like the passenger rocker took a hit but otherwise seems to be in good shape. Sounds like we wouldn't turn down a reasonable offer either.
