Ok here it is I'm debating selling one of my XJ's as I've not been driving it and currently do not have the time to put the lift on it. I searched NADA, Edmond's and Kelly blue book. They were from $934-$1975 for average shape. The $1,000 dollar difference is what gets me. What should I price it at?
It is a stock 94 4 door auto. NP231, manual locks and windows,tinted windows,rear defogger, rear wiper,receiver hitch,cruise control,overhead console with compass and temp,139,000 miles, steel or alloy wheels (I have both sets) but would prefer to part with the steel on it. The outside of the body looks great other then a minor door ding. In honesty though the floor boards are starting to go between the seat and rockers. There is one tiny pencil size hole in the rocker between the driver font and rear doors that is visible only when they are open. The rear leafs are weak, and the front axle u-joints are bad.
What should I price this thing at? I love the Jeep but with a wedding to save for and the fact I do not have the cash for the 32" tires or bolts for the lift kit right now I feel like it's going to waste sitting in the driveway.
 
Moderators please do not delete this as I'm just trying to get an idea of what it would be worth in the Midwest area. I have not started to clean it up for selling yet.
 
It would sell for about $800 to $1100 here in my town.
 
It really doesn't matter too much how many miles are on it if the body is going to pot.
The floors, milage, and the age are the detractors. All the KBB prices are for a vehicle that at worse, is in good shape. When it comes to vehicles with floor rust, or other major (for the average owner) problems, you are on your own.

I'm not going to put a price out there. Placing a value on a vehicle is not something I have been very successful with. I only know what I would pay for a reasonably pristine body'd XJ with a couple of minor mechanical problems. For a 94, that number would not be very large. With rust issues, that number would be smaller.

Understandable. I just don't want to screw anyone over and believe in the karma ideal. Yet I'd like to not give it away. I guess I may take it to a dealership and see what they give me for trade-in and go from there.
