Interior is very clean for its age. Seats, headliner (new), and dash present well. Exterior paint new, shows nicely. Undercarriage is solid with typical surface rust for its age — no structural issues.
This is a solid driver-quality XJ that’s becoming harder to find, especially in 5-speed 4WD configuration.
Not a rust-belt rot box. Not a show truck. Just a clean, honest, mechanically sorted Cherokee.
Serious buyers only.
No trades.
Priced fairly based on condition and maintenance. Open to reasonable offers.
