zeitgeist57 Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 My friend's wife wants to secretly buy him an XJ Cherokee for his birthday, as he's not a gearhead but he loves Jeeps (85 CJ, 2014 Grand Cherokee) and the XJ is a "dream car" of his. She's hitting up AutoTrader and finding a couple of '99-'01s nearby for around $5-6k. Anyone have a streetable XJ or know of one for sale? This would not be modded or off-roaded. Thank you!

Not Brian Posted September 26, 2018 Report Share Posted September 26, 2018 Only one I'd pay money for is Skinner's old Jeep, which Grant (geesammy) has now. He's thrown thousands at bullet-proofing it. PM him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeitgeist57 Posted September 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2018 Thanks for the heads-up! Looks super clean. I see the FB Marketplace ad for that Jeep for $5,800...where did you find it for $3,900 in that screen shot above? EDIT: I sent the link to her and she said she thought that sold the other day on eBay??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geeto67 Posted September 26, 2018 Report Share Posted September 26, 2018 FWIW, can you at least try and find him a manual XJ? Although the Jeeps used some variation of the tough as nails Chrysler 904 trans (itself a 727 torque-flight derivative) , they are literally the most boring pedestrian things to drive and they shift so lazy you think you left it at home on the sofa watching soap operas. If you can find a 2000 or 2001 stick it will be an NV3550, 1988-1999 it's an AX15. Both are excellent manual transmissions and way more fun than a mush box automatic.

Geeesammy Posted September 28, 2018 Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 At this point I could potentially be talked into selling Skinnerjeep, but it's not going to be for book value, so yea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forwarded to my friend. Clay, how does your friend like the '14 GC? Does it have a V6 or a V8? It's a pretty loaded V8. It's plush...I'm not an SUV guy but I get why people love these.

HotCarl Posted October 5, 2018 Report Share Posted October 5, 2018 Clay, how does your friend like the '14 GC? Does it have a V6 or a V8? We have a V6 '15 Overland, the perfect size auto for everything we do. Hauling hockey bags, going on road trips, camping, everything. Acceleration isn't the greatest but it gets the job done, and its a really comfortable drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
