Good luck to ya, $1500 really isn't too bad with the year warranty.
I always wondered what it would cost...

Your KJ is precisely 20,814 times better looking than that XJ...

^ Agreed.
Hey wait I thought you got rid of the Escape? Or am I thinking of someone else?

I also agree the Liberty is a lot nicer looking. I still like Cherokee's.
This one would match my color scheme.
I was looking at having the wife take over the Jeep and trade her Escape in for a TJ, LJ, or 97+ XJ. Never have done that though.

That XJ is also hideous.
ThunderbirdJunkie would not trade his Paseo for it.

I never understood why people put TJ flares on an XJ.
IMJB2HO, the KJ actually looks MORE like a "Jeep" should than the XJ.
To me, XJs look like lifted station wagons.
Still a Jeep though, regardless.

I like the 1 ton amber roof lights, the oversize lift, and the rust under the rear door. FYI, that used car stealer is asking 3995 for it.

ThunderbirdJunkie knows of a much MUCH nicer one that you can buy for $3,000...

Yours was a nice looking example, but KJ>XJ all the way.
That being said
ThunderbirdJunkie would kill for the wheels that were on your XJ

XJ's kinda bring the suck. Way too small, especially the rear door area. Rear seat not comfortable at all, especially your feetsies. Not only is the KJ larger in every exterior diminsion, they make better use of the interior for people duty.
Floor pan/subframe is subpar, with rust & twisting an issue. The KJ is said to be over 150% of the XJ's torsional rigidity. Hear people biotching about the doors not closing on a KJ?
They do look like a taller wagon, particularly a Volvo 240 ( shudder )
. I often park beside an XJ with a 3" lift and 31's at work. The KJ dwarves it.
One poster over there was whinning about his KJ & how superior his XJ was, until the rear subframe was pulled off his XJ. He can't even attach a bumper.
The 3.7 may or may not prove as long-lasting as the last gen 4.0's, but they are easier to live with day-to-day with their broader RPM range & greater HP. They also develop more torque, it just requires proper gearing and/or knowing how to use it.
I do have a soft place for 2dr XJ's, though. Impractical, but better looking.
If you want CHEROKEES, check the sig line

Good arguments on the KJ vs XJ but I'm not sure I agree with the Interior comments.
There is a serious lack of storage space up in the front, probably what I don't like the most about the KJ. I find myself thinking how they could have designed it with a flat top dash or with more cubby holes...
Hey I really like my KJ, but it only takes a pair of glasses and 2 drinks to fill up the front storage space! I end up cramming everything down between the transfer case and ebrake levers...

Five Star Ford-Lincoln-Mercury-Chrysler-Jeep-Dodge-Chevrolet-Buick-Toyota helped the most. I bought it used for $20,000 and wasn't paying attention when I signed for a 6 year loan. Every other loan I had was for Four years.
Ah, six-year loan. That essplains it. Got your payments waaay down, but you'll pay for the vehicle twice. Sorry to hear that, man. If you can afford it, you might consider a refi- or rolling that loan into another lower interest loan with a combined payment.
I remember back when my wife wanted to tweak our finances (and I told her that yes, they were tight, but they were as good as they were gonna get without one of us getting a raise, winning the lottery, or selling everything we own and live off the land) she had an adviser come in and talk to us. After she had given him all the particulars on the phone, he met with us one afternoon after compiling his plan. He spent 25 minutes explaining our current debt (which wasn't really that bad) and how he would roll our mortage and other debts into an ARM loan (I nearly busted my gut laughing at that one-- ARM loan... riiiiiiiiight) and he would roll the Jeep loan into that. I quietly listened for 25 minutes, and when he was done, I informed him my Jeep loan was at 0%, so why in god's name would I want to add an interest rate to that?
He said "Your Jeep was financed at 0%?!!... well, I guess we're done here".
