What's it worth?

[Phil]

I almost posted in non tech but I think the regional input is better.

I'm not really in the market for a new, full body XJ, but I am kind of considering making an offer on one that I know sits more than it moves anymore.

1989 XJ Wagoneer
4.0L/AW-4/242
217k miles
Engine replaced at some time in the past?

Exterior is pretty good.
No rust, of course. A couple minor door dings. All the chrome shines nicely.

Interior is thrashed. Broken seat bracket, no headliner, kind of used as a pickup. Maybe tired power windows and locks.

Unknown how it runs, assuming generally fine, pass smog with no issues or weird sounds.

Bone stock, never lifted or cut or beat up.

What's fair pricing like on something like that? Not an insult to the owner or a ripoff to me?

If I got it, it would probably be just to cruise around town, maybe snow trips, not a real wheeler.

Is it a woody?

600$-800$

Ya if it's a woody I'd swoop regardless. I love them. Agree with Jon on the pricing. But maybe a bit more for a woody

600$-800$

lol. I was reading Phil's post and the number that came to mind was 7 hundo

good to know my pricing points are synced up with the veteran himself :greensmok

I think I'd call him "Mr. Part-out" lol

Eric, it is a woody. With quad headlights.

I have been told the state will pay $1,000 to junk a running car older than 1994 so it seems like that would be the new minimum price.

DOOOOOD!! Buy that thing! Im jealous. And tempted to search around for this rare gem you speak of..

Where do I take running vehicles in for $1000? Im going to start buying all the dirt cheap old cars that are wrecked on CL. lol

You can only do it once per 12 months plus I think there's some other restrictions to prevent people from doing just that. You take it to an approved junk yard. I was offended when I got that letter in the mail for my 89. They can suck it.

I don't think its a super easy process but when Craigslisters use that excuse I tell them to go right ahead and do it I cant do 1000$ on that POS.

Here is a list of the requirements for the $1000 buy back.
