frankspeed420 Posted January 12, 2022 Posted January 12, 2022 Why are cherokees going for more than comanches? This aint right...
Pete M Posted January 12, 2022 Posted January 12, 2022 some certainly are. but asking price and selling price are still different numbers.
75sv1 Posted January 12, 2022 Posted January 12, 2022 I'd counter more people look for XJs, for wheeling. So, supply vs demand. I haven't kept track of XJ nor MJ prices in the past few years. Also, most go quick. Some don't. A guy at work is selling an XJ. Good to VG and a 3 inch lift. Plus a tow bar. Only bad I saw was the passenger rocker was rusted out. Motor purred, interior VG. We convinced him to put $4,800 on it. I think he tried to sell it a few years back, with a White XJ that's a bit beat for less. No takers. ???
dasbulliwagen Posted January 12, 2022 Posted January 12, 2022 I saw one on Facebook this morning listed for $39,990. It is low miles and had a lift and some upgrades, but still had stock geared open axles that were trussed, Its getting ridiculous out there.
FrankTheDog Posted January 12, 2022 Posted January 12, 2022 If you want to see what really nice low mile XJ’s are bringing, go on bringatrailer.com and look in the auction history.
75sv1 Posted January 12, 2022 Posted January 12, 2022 Looked at EBay $3K(142K lifted)to $30K (50K miles).
Smokeyyank Posted January 12, 2022 Posted January 12, 2022 XJ's are better from a utility stand point. Really they are the greatest SUVs ever made. Super capable, 4 doors and decent MPG. MJ's are limited being a 2 door and really not a lot of people have any clue about them. I didn't know they existed until I had one. I do think a lot of the XJ values are insane, especially these people with low mileage ones asking $25k+.
frankspeed420 Posted January 12, 2022 Author Posted January 12, 2022 I agree Great utility vehicle. I'm searching for one to plow snow. Priced def doubled in last few years. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

FrankTheDog Posted January 12, 2022 Posted January 12, 2022 XJ’s are the best suvs ever made for the working man. There is nothing built as well or as useful or has the longevity of an Renix or HO XJ. I got 453k out of my 98 on the original motor. First gear started poping out at 340k so I swapped a 120k ax15 in and that was both were still working good when I scrapped it. Totally rotten, nothing salvageable on the body. Axles were both worn out.

Pete M Posted January 13, 2022 Posted January 13, 2022 doesn't Eagle have a couple XJs he's looking to get rid of?
frankspeed420 Posted January 13, 2022 Author Posted January 13, 2022 I don't know wht Ray would want for a whole vehicle. Got a cpl leads. Budget getting bumped. Sadly. If you know any personally send em my waySent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk
strictlyxjs Posted January 13, 2022 Posted January 13, 2022 I can ask him saturday. I know hes got a a mint chili pepper red 99. But its like MINT mint and he wants like 4500 for that one. I think it has like 50k on it.
frankspeed420 Posted January 13, 2022 Author Posted January 13, 2022 I don't have that much to dump. I'm around 2500 max. Ideally a 98 or similar dist motor XJ so I can use my 98 for parts. Trying not to do floors mid winter. Auto preferred. Forever I wanted a 5 speed. So hard to find. Now I want to stay auto and there's 4 standards listed locally. Wth
FrankTheDog Posted January 13, 2022 Posted January 13, 2022 Early 99’s had a distributor. I had 3 99’s 2 had distributors.
