You either want an XJ as it was built 17 years ago or you don't.

Plus, haven many of you could even say you would pay $25k for a new XJ exactly as a fully loaded limited 2001 was optioned?

You'd look at it and go, this is all I get for $25k? The JK has more power, better fuel economy, better safety, more interior room, is quieter, etc etc for marginally more money.

BS people would buy that.

XJs seemed to have gotten cheaper relative to inflation as the years went on. Shoot, my 2001 Limited was $2K cheaper than my 1989 Laredo, similarly equipped. By now, if they had kept building the XJ, through found savings over the years they could theoretically be sold as the cheapest new vehicle in America. And the reviews would all be that for just $12K you can get a relic from 1983....
