XJ advice sought
Heya Gang..
Thanks for all the previous help with my galpal's 98 XJ. I found a 96 XJ
sport, 4dr, 91000 miles, stick at a local car dealer. They want $3995.
Good/bad? What should I be looking for? Looks pretty good, I'm going to
visit it during biz hours tomorrow and drive it. Any advice appreciated.

Re: XJ advice sought
as with any used vehicle, it mostly depends on how the previous owner
treated it....by this year, the xj had lost many of its amc features, but
still used the l920's nash engine design. which is good. i'd like to find
a good one for that kind of price......

Re: XJ advice sought
Mine had the proverbial cracked manifold ... which was not only repaired by
the dealer, but pointed out to me by the dealer ... before I took possesion.
Oh yeah, maybe dicker and deal for whatever you might need in the near
future ... like maybe whatever type tires you might be looking for, maybe a
trailer hitch, bolt on tranny cooler ... and a decent CD player :-). Maybe
check that the ac is working, if 4wd make sure it's working all selections.
On older vehicles I sometimes did the pull each high tension lead one after
the other ... if no change in rpms you've got a dead cylinder .. or ok,
howabout a compression test.
