What's the point if you're just going to sell out?

I do have it for sale but with a price so high I doubt it will sell. In a way, I am just testing out a theory. There are so many over priced xjs around here, I was wondering if any of them sold for the crazy price they were asking. Well I havent got one call yet so I doubt any of the other people did either.

that's certainly one way to test a theory.... not bad.
Really the true value of anything, vehicles included, solely comes down to the person that is willing to give you the most for it AT the time that you are needing to sell it.

Got a zj passenger door plug for when I take the doors off the Cherokee, the driver's side door and plug were already gone. As for the Comanche, got the turn signals, headlights, and hazards working with a relay and a new front light harness. Got the starter tested and it was good so next I'm trying a starter relay. Bled the clutch again, but it still takes some pumping to get it to fully disengage sometimes. Not sure what to do about it. I have a new master, slave, and clutch line. Don't see any leaks anywhere.

I paid an obscene amount for my xj. I literally chased the guy down in traffic because I'd been looking for one for months and they were all terrible. His looked nice and I had been seeing it in traffic several times a week for almost a year... so I knew it was a daily and at least mostly reliable.

So there's some hope for you lol.

Ha, that's what mine looked like. Cylinder blew out coming down I70 into Denver a week after having a shop work on the rear brakes. Should have known to just do it myself!
