2000 XJ value

[Ken M]

Looking for advice on selling my my 2000 XJ 2-door. It developed a nasty engine knock a few years ago. I've been unable to get a local shop to accurately diagnose it and come up with a plan to fix it. Everyone just says put a new engine in it, but nobody wants to do a rebuild. I finally bought a new 2-door Wrangler, and am looking to sell the XJ which I haven't driven in several years. (Keeping my forever '93 XJ 2-door, though). The 2000 has a good body except for rusty floors; the seats are badly worn. What could I expect to get for it? Thanks

A rusty, worst build year, that needs a motor with bad interior? Price is highly dependent on location, but i could buy that set up for 5 to 800 all day long here in kansas. 1k if it was a 91-98.

Actually the body is very good except for the floors which are readily replaceable. I just haven't been able to find a good local mechanic who wants to fix the engine.

No one wants to fix the engine because it will cost you more to do a rebuild than put in a used/reman engine.

How many miles on it? I'd say you be lucky to get a $1000, but I'm not familiar with the Anchorage market for XJs. Might be different than the lower 48.
