Found a XJ finally.

[suthrn98]

I have been in the market for a decent XJ for a while. waiting on the right one to come along. I found a 1993 model in town for sale. It's a 4 door 4 wheel drive. Exactly what I am looking for. It needs tires and a steering column. Guy says it's tapping when idling, like maybe the lifters or rocker arms. It's already got a 3 inch RC lift, which he says include LCAs and springs and shocks.

Questions are:

What could be the tapping, and is this serious? How easy of a fix?

How hard to change steering column?

He has it marked for $1000, but says he's very flexible on the price. How much would be a good offer?

Since it already has the 3 inch lift with LCAs could I throw on a 1-1.5 inch spacer without any major probelms?

I sold a 93 XJ with 233,000 miles, needing tires and brakes for $300 June 2008. It had no modifications. Engine was in fine shape, used Amsoil every 8,000 miles. Just changed under carriage fluids, anti-freeze, brake fluid and PS fluid. Had upgraded A/C. It would need, in the near future, an interior (headliner, seats, carpet) and an exterior paint job.
Hope that helps.
