Looking to sell my XJ, what's a reasonable price?

[bmpweXJ]

I don't know too much about the market up here, so I thought I'd ask.

'99 Sport
Axles:
- d30, 4.56 (5k miles), ARB locker (never plumbed)
- 8.25, 4.56 (5k miles), ARB locker (never plumbed)
Tires: 33x10.5 KM2s at 90-95% on black steeliness
Suspension:
- front: 4" RE springs, JKS uppers and lowers, JKS discos, RE drop Brackets
- rear: RE full packs at 4"
Driveline: SYEd 231 and AW4, runs perfectly
Motor: 121,XXX true miles, runs perfectly.
Body: cut front fenders, otherwise stock. No bumpers. Spent the first 11 years of its life in Phoenix and has only been driven ~3k miles since being in NJ going on 4 years. Only a time or two in the snow/salt. Next to no rust anywhere on this Cherokee.

I'm not in a rush to get rid of it, I don't need the money and will be getting a GC whenever I can find what I'm looking for.

Any ideas what's a reasonable amount to get if I'm patient?

Thanks,
Brandon

Honestly, hows the body? Straight? if so, $5-6 grand after you plumb and test the ARBs.

i disagree. i hate to be negative, but a lifted Jeep brings much lower sales price than a comparably stock rig. the fact that it is lifted for offroad use brings on the doubt about actual vehicle history and workmanship, regardless of how "honest" the seller seems to be. a well beaten rig can be polished to appear unabused.
shoot for $4000 and dont be insulted when you get offers for $3200.
good luck with the sale, but be prepared to either keep it, or accept less than you think it's worth. it all depends on what the buyer thinks it's worth.
if it really is in visibly good condition, think about Ebay. the right buyer may be lurking there with $ to spend.
in the end, you never get back what you put into it, and it's not worth the sum of the parts added.

I think putting bumpers on it would help sell it.

It'll see 5-6 grand from the right buy as long as its a cream puff. if its got trail damage and/or significant rust you won't see north of 3500.

I got a 5500 for my 99 geared, locked, long armed and beaten on jeep which I think was definitely on the high side. I had no bumpers. It takes the right person looking.

Get the arb's working so people don't think they are broken
Install bumpers just so it looks better, even if they are stock with no endcaps.

Have you checked craigslist lately? Full of rough country lifted garbage people think is worth gold.

If your not in a rush start it high and let someone talk you down, its worth what someone will pay.
I would start it at 5500-6000. That being said I just paid 5000 for a fully built 2 door with a 9in and d44 and 90k on it, but its not pristine it has been wheeled.
