Here's the story.
My son hit a deer in my pristene 98 2dr 4x4 4.0 5dp XJ. Totalled.
The insurance company is treating me right at $25 less than what I paid for it one year ago.
So I go looking for a replacement and I find a 99 4dr 4x4 4.0 5sp, almost identical except for two extra door. The seller says in the past there were a few occasions where the instrument panel would not work for like a day. What is this an indication of? I've heard in the past that XJ's have a history of electrical problems. Is this true
The vehicle is not a nice as the 98 but its doable. The only downfall is the 131k miles.
The engine does have a small exhaust leak. The oil pressur range is 20 psi at warm idle and 40+ psi at highway speed. No rust however, there is some clearcoat peeling on drivers door, and may be an indication of a bad repair or just bad clear from the factory, I don't know. The agreed purchase price is $3500, which is a very good deal IMO.
Throw me some advice, Please
