Hey guys, a friend suggested this forum to me to get acquainted with jeeps as they aren't really my thing but the Wife is looking at a '98 XJ at a local dealer. Its got 140xxx miles clean interior, it got hail damage in a storm last week. It also has minor rust on the rockers and a scrape with a small dent by the tail light. Also I found some weird stuff like the pins for the door stop was replaced with a bolt, and the hatch had some play where the hinge mounts to the body, it looked like the whole screw was moving but it wasn't rust. It ran good and shifted nice, The 4x4 took a little to disengage and it really bucked when turning past half way when in 4x4. The trans fluid looked dirty but not chunky or stinky but it hadn't been changed by the dealer to cover up a problem. They are asking $3000 for it do you think thats a fair price? I know its probably gonna need some work and thats ok I just don't wanna get into a money pit. Thanks in advance
