Title: XJ folks, concerns with '99s?
Post by: ranier1315 on May 21, 2016, 02:06:53 PM

Looking for Jordan a new car and he only has $4000 to spend. we found a couple of 99-02 models in that price with under 200000 miles. What should i look for? it's gonna be a daily driver/weekend warrior.

The 99 is known as the best year. Make sure that it has the 8.25 not the Dana 35. If it has ABS it has a 35. But for $200 or less you can get one. The drivers master control switch is a weak link but replacements are available in the junk yard.  Another reason I love the XJs parts are cheap & plentiful.
