Any ideas on price?

Help would be amazing!!

Pics would help... and i'm sure more people will say this, but even though you got lots of money in it, it's not gonna bring that much out of it. Especially being an older vehicle...

Would like to see pics of the rear bucket seats/center console. Sounds pretty nifty.

If you wanted the best bang for you buck you'd probably be better off parting it out if you have the time/patience. Unfortunately you wont find many people wanting to spend $7k+ on an older Cherokee even w/all those mods.

Yeah pics tell 1,000 words.

And I'd agree with Bdiddy for the most part, I took a hit when I sold my old XJ, they just don't go for too much these days.

As for price i know there no way im getting retail prices out of it.
Heres some pics out in moab with frank and the guys.

Dont have any pics of the seats lol last time i took pics was at Moab and i did that after.

mainly just looking for a ballpark price. what you would think was a fair price. Put it on craigslist about a month and a half ago for 4000 and had to take it off because i got so many emails ( 29 in the first hour) and got tired of people trying to bid on it. some one would offer me 2000 for it and then i had people trying to offer 7000 for it.

 

[Apostle]

personally, the extras are nice but not key factors. i wouldnt pay more then $2k for this due to the year and high miles. the front chrom is nice, but the 35 in back is an issue. roof rack isnt a factor either way

you would be better parting it out

 

[YELLAHEEP]

$2800 - $3400. Winch is shown but not listed...........?

Its a very clean, nice appearing XJ........ but the market sucks right now. It's age and mileage will keep it toward the bottom of buyer's lists.

Oh and......... how do 3.5" leaf packs settle to 4"? :laugh:

 

[Kiefer316]

Ill give ya 5 bucks and a pack of trident layers...

 

[collkid]

Well that is quite clean. I'd think for the right buyer you could get $4500. I'd pay 4 for it...

 

[Frank Z]

Who's the 'tard in the second pic?

On foot? In Moab?!?!

 

[in4aride]

depends on how patient you want to be and how good you are at selling your junk....

the 35 in the rear is gonna be a kicker for it for sure.

milage is high but there is a lot of good parts tossed at it. if you have recently done plugs or wires or waterpump or any of that stuff POST it. it helps a good bit.

i think realistically if your patient you can get 4-4200
in a rush 32-3500

market does suck, but its about how well you can talk. sold STOCK 89 with 230k and jsut some stupid headlights and battery for 2700 just a few months ago.

 

[boomer1]

You talkin about you frank? ... or me standing behind you lol :rof:

The funny part is that this red jeep (the oldest cherokee we have) runs better than the other 4 which all have 40,000 to 100,000 less miles on them. lol

In4aride- I have a book of receipts of crap Dad and I have done to this thing since we got it. New sensors, plugs, wires, caps, belts, fuel pump you name it we probably replaced it at one point. lol no water pump though never leaked a drop of antifreeze. It likes to mark its territory if you let it sit long enough, a drop or 2 of oil every now and then.

 

[in4aride]

I would make known the receipts for the work in your ad. people like the security of knowing they arent being lied to. I stick by my suggested prices and think you should go with a $200 bump from what you want to get. You create a decent buffer, but refusal to take 1k less than asking price shows you know its worth what you want. know what i mean?
