1999 XJ sport value

You should be getting a full refund from the shop...

Yup.

to answer your question, No you will not make more than $2500 parting it yourself. that being said.....

dont take a penny...... call an attorney.
if the fire literally happened immediately after leaving their shop you have a case that should include the workmanship and full reimbursement, not just the value of the vehicle.

All is good....ins co paid $2,300 & I keep XJ, gave XJ to shop for repair bill & turned around & got a '98 TJ Sahara with 134k miles for $2,500. Happy Camper! Basically it was worth nada when we towed it into the shop.

As long as you're happy. So, you're saying you gave the shop the XJ and they gave you a full refund? If so, good job.

I guess I don't follow why the repair bill was even in the mix, they burned your xj to the ground! They should have eaten the bill no questions asked! Not to mention some reimbursement for your pain and suffering!

look VERY closely at the rear upper control arm mounts on the frame of any TJ you look at, they rot out.
good luck with closing the deal with the insurance co.

Needed tires! LOL...

I really dug that XJ though. I've been a CJ & TJ guy for the last 20 years, I've had 6 or 7 and got rid of them for various reasons. I miss the 2003 Green Rubi bought new first year they came out, daily driver, not! Sold to save my back but loved the XJ, just felt good. We will miss "Lucy" but I've NEVER EVER got such a deal as the '98 Sahara...
