Any suggestions on good websites? I'm giving up on my '85 XJ. It's a great jeep.....but I don't have the wherewithall to work on it as I would like.....and these mechanics no nothing about carburetors! I'm emotionally drained.....so my wife is making me move on.
With that being said, I'm hoping to find maybe a 97+ with manual transmission. Aside from ebay, not many websites allow you to specify "manual transmission."
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'd been using craigslist, autotrader, pennysaverusa, and cars.com for the past three weeks looking for a 97+ XJ. You're right, none of these let you specify the tranny type. You'll just have to peruse the ads to find one with a manual tranny.
I just bought a 98 2-door 4WD on autotrader for $2800. I jumped on a new listing and rushed up to LA with cash.

On autotrader you can use the "more search options" and select what trans you want.

Thanks for the heads up on "more search options"!!! Renix or HO? What's your preference?

My son got an 98xj from a GSA online auction a year ago. It was a base model with 4.0l, aw4, limited slip, skid plates, heavy duty suspention, heavy duty cooling, heavy duty electrical, anti-lock brakes, power mirrors, AC, cruise control, tilt steering wheel, and best of all, rubber floor mats and vinyl seats. All for $6200, $100 over Kelly Blue Book wholesale price. The car has worked great for him so far. www.autoauction.gsa.gov/auctionsearch.cfm

Isn't this the wrong Forum?
Anyway, I like:
Ebay
NAXJA Classifieds
Every town has a street or location that has less expensive car dealerships. Look around town. Plenty of XJ's in the lots. Also have local Salvage yards that sell descent Jeep projects.
