The new year is in and we are in the city for a few days. I plan to look a few Cherokee XJs in the next couple of days. I have two in particular that have my attention. Granted, I have to go actually look at them to know whether they are worth it, but any insight into model year or things to look for would be appreciated from the collective wisdom and experience of the august members of this forum.
I'll describe on in this post and another in the second post.
Please note that I am NOT looking for something pretty. I just want something that will get me, a couple of other people, and some cargo into the mountains. A beater would work if it is in fair condition mechanically. That said ...
This one is probably a beater. Of course, I'll have to check for rust and I'll be surprised if it's not an issue, but it costs nothing to look.
Here are the specs that I have:
1988 / 4wd / AC works / Mexican plates / 4.0l /automatic
The squatty rear end does not excite me. It's been on FB Marketplace for several weeks, so either it's a real lemon, or I can get it cheap and put some work into it.
Asking about $4,000usd. Here are some photos.
