I have always had a liking for the XJ Cherokees and I think I am finally about to get one. The Jeep in question is a 1988 Jeep Cherokee with 200k miles, runs like crap and is the most base model you can get. Its sitting at the shop I work at, and once we get it running right I am going to offer $750 dollars for it. Luckily for me I work at a shop called "Ultimate Offroad" and we specialize in Jeeps. We work mostly on the TJ and JKs but we do occasionally have XJs, WJs, and ZJs. Being a 1988 its been around longer than I have so there is some things to be addressed with it. The good thing is its an AZ jeep so there is hardly a spot of rust on it. The paint is OK, a couple of dents that could probably be popped out if I really wanted to. The interior is complete but it needs to be put together. It has the 4.0 with a 5 speed manual and a 231 T case. Like i said it does run rough but once thats fixed the Jeep could be an excellent blank canvas for a daily driver, and some light exploring out in the desert. I am just curious to what everyone thinks, if $750 for a 1988, all stock, base model jeep with over 200k is an okay investment. Thanks everyone, and have a good weekend.
