But then it'd be a POS 200,000 mile XJ! Plus I don't fit in a XJ.
I kind of knew it'd need some stuff going into it being high miles at a wholesale lot. But I wanted something without rust and one owner/no accident... and I wanted either a MW3, X, HR, or Recon (or a leather Rubicon which seems rare without the other aforementioned packages). I also wanted something that had been a mall crawler mostly with some kind of service history. This one only had scratches on the transfer case skid and mostly went to a repair shop for everything. I think the guy gave up on it because it was nickel and diming him. I'm guessing he got a quote for $1200 or so for the heater controls issue and decided to trade it in. I know he got a new JL Rubicant because I saw the trade paperwork at the dealership.
Rust-free under 100k you're looking at the $20k+ range. Light rust (no visible body, but rust where you'll need a blue wrench) and 150k you're in the $15k range. I can put a ton of money into it and still not hit $15k, and it still has no rust.
