The spare is on the front, so the tire that is on the back door is either missing or flat or no good. The paint is very rough, look at the roof, looks like LOTS of carwashes. The leather is in bad shape, really bad shape. The dash is peeling up at the windshield. They were trying to fix something, that is why the console is torn apart, it might be a ghost that is going to come back and haunt you. Looks like they gave up. I am betting that this truck was rode hard and put away wet, more than once. I am also betting that the engine is sludged up and that the fluids have never been changed. All of that being said, for $1500 it might be a good project truck. Keep your Jeep until you get this truck up to par. I am also betting that the CD changer doesnt work. Or the AMP to the stereo. _____________________________ If it ain''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''t leakin'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' it must be empty! Yes, one man can change the world.

Body mounts, things like that. Tell the salesman that you need new tires for it so that will need to be considered. Do like you said, low ball them. Wave the cash in front of their faces. They will drool. _____________________________ If it ain''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''t leakin'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' it must be empty! Yes, one man can change the world.

It looks like all the parts are there,,the bumper end is about $40 you can order a new cover for the seat OEM but that will cost about $450. The head liner can be redone I don''t know about $. If it runs good you can count on spending about $2K to $2.5K to have it up to par (with out paint). _____________________________ I do not need the National Geographic channel I just look out the windows of my Land Rover Discovery code name Romulus Prefix-N or 1996 Classic Discovery, RPi remapped ECU NRP Preformance cats/Y-pipe (in reply to Spike555) Post #: 25

Your XJ is in much better condition than that!!! $1500 plus probably another $1500 to fix what is most likely tons of things. This adds up to $3000 !!!   Save a little more cash and you could get a 99 D2 in 10 times better condition than that, or a D1 which ever you prefer. _____________________________ Real knowledge comes from experience, not hearsay!!!
