Hey guys I just moved to San Diego (Mira Mesa). I currently have a Stock 2000 XJ sport trim with about 91,000 clocked on it.
On my journey from New Jersey to here my A/C compressor seized up on me and I had to have an A/C bypass and a new serpentine belt installed. A few years ago I had the Evaporator die on me so this makes the second time I've had to go with out A/C.
In the few years that I have had my XJ it's gotten a few scrapes on the front left and rear right tire flairs. I also have about a quarter sized hole in the rear right tail light.
The last thing is that she's got a long crack low on the driver side of the windsheild as well as a little spider crack toward the middle.
Now even with these few minor problems I love the XJ and it runs great. Unfortunatly I really don't use the XJ to its full potential and I know there are a ton of enthusiests who could do alot with it. So I have decided that its time to part with it.
My questions come in with repairs:
What repairs do you guys think are necissary(if any) before I put her up for sale?
If I do get repairs done do you think the parts I need are availible at a pick a part or other junkyard?
What might I need to spend to get this all fixed up (labor + parts)?
Would it be better just to sell it as is?
If it is better to sell it as is should I sell it privatly or try to get some cash via trade in?
I really appreciate any help that you guys will be able to give me. Also if anyone is interested in potentially buying please let me know.
