Don't forget the Splitfire Triple Platnium Spark Plugs.

Private Party on that thing is $9,500. $7,000 in mods, assuming that he wants every penny back? I don't think so. I have about a G more into mine, and lets just say it's a tad bit more built.

It is a nice XJ, and I wouldn't mind having it. Not at that price, though.

And I agree, those tires are crap. I slid through too many rainy intersections when I had them.

He should be asking 10k, and be happy if he gets it.

Agreed, but with the mileage, 10k makes him seem alot more sane...........:D

I was told the oversteer can be fixed by upgrading the front stabilizer shock, but never got around to it.

How does that work?

I'm confused on the "or best offer" thing. I thought you put a price on it that you hoped some schmuck might pay, but when that doesn't happen then you take the best offer below the asking price. I hope he's not sitting around waiting for a best offer above the asking price. It's not on the block at Christie's with somebody on the phone from Singapore bidding it up against an eccentric billionaire from Silicon Valley. It's more like the Big Showcase on The Price Is Right - closest bid without going over is the winner.

ps - Anybody know an XJ to oversteer? What the heck did he do to the poor thing to make it oversteer?

A decent amount of toe out can do that. Thing probably just needs an alignment.

I suppose. Of course, there are tons of posts about steering once you start lifting (not that I've lifted anything, yet), but solid cornering was always one of my favorite XJ traits. I found it funny that he's trying to talk the thing up to $16k but won't fix the steering.

Since I'm tired of the "OMG 0331s are a ticking timebomb LOL" statements that've been becoming popular of late, let's do some math here:

Going with the generally-accepted numbers of 165,590 XJs having been built in 2000 and 120,454 in 2001 (source (http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=26256)), that's a total of 286,044 XJs built in the 0331 era. All 2001s had the 4.0 - and while I don't have the breakdown of 4-cylinder models vs. 6-cylinder in terms of production numbers for 2000, I'll assume that two-thirds of production in that year were 6-cylinders. This gives us a total of 109,289 4.0s in 2000, bringing the adjusted total of 0331-head XJs to 229,743.

Being generous here, I'm going to say that five percent of that number have experienced head failure or are going to. That's a total of 11,487 vehicles falling into that category.

Does it suck if you get one that dies? Yes.

Are all 0331 heads going to explode? No, but if they do we've got a great foundation for a recall or class action.

autophreak: don't take any of this as a personal attack, since it most certainly isn't one. But I'm tired of hearing how the 0331 is going to explode as you drive down the freeway, rape your pets, set fire to your house, sell your children to the gypsies, and take a dump on your keyboard. The amount of information floating around that's being repeated verbatim (replacing the CPS cures everything, etc.) without any real backing for it is getting old.

So... Since this was near enough to $4000 under his OBO price, anyone want to bet on whether or not he actually follows through with the sale?

don't think I wasn't expecting that:), thanks for the advertising. I think(actually I know) mine may be a worth a bit more than the original posting if I added up all my receipts but hey, everybody on here is an expert on what a vehicle should(and will)sell for eh? Not sure why you guys go around looking at peoples selling prices and "trying"(key word) to F up their sales, do you feel like it is your duty?? I mean come on, people will buy what they want to buy regardless of a bunch of "expert" opinions, but hey, whatever, no skin off my back, just sort of wondering I guess what could be the motivation to this.

Chris - im just playing with you...

a vehicle is always worth what the buyer and seller agree its worth - no more, no less...

I saw the price on your XJ a few days ago and was kinda shocked, then i read the rest of the add...

and if i was capable of spending the money to buy a reliable, well built vehicle - i would be looking for one just like yours - and your price doesnt seem un-reasonable to me for the worksmanship and quality of parts.

unfortunately, i am daily driving an MJ that i bought for $450, so that will tell you my budget for a reliable car... :banghead:

no offence intended - i guess i dont know you well enough to poke fun yet. hopefully that will change this summer :D
