Re: XJ advice sought
Is it 4wd or 2wd? Is this going to be a commuter car or a family car or
both?

Re: XJ advice sought
Look up the blue book and nada guide prices. www.kbb.com www.nadaguides.com
It sounds like a good price. At that mileage I would suspect the cooling
system is just starting to get plugged. If it runs hot at all (over 210)
then I would get the radiator rodded out. Check the fuel injectors and make
sure they dont leak or have any fuel residue around them. Make sure the
clutch slave doesnt leak. If it does it will have break fluid leaking from
the bell housing. Look underneath for oil leaks etc. At that mileage it will
have some. Just make sure they arent too bad.That engine will last to 200+
thousand miles easily if maintained. Oh and if is anywhere near Mike or
Canada, check the ground strap to the engine and make sure its in good
shape.

It sounds like a good price. At that mileage I would suspect the cooling
system is just starting to get plugged. If it runs hot at all (over 210)
then I would get the radiator rodded out. Check the fuel injectors and make
sure they dont leak or have any fuel residue around them. Make sure the
clutch slave doesnt leak. If it does it will have break fluid leaking from
the bell housing. Look underneath for oil leaks etc. At that mileage it will
have some. Just make sure they arent too bad.That engine will last to 200+
thousand miles easily if maintained. Oh and if is anywhere near Mike or
Canada, check the ground strap to the engine and make sure its in good
shape.
