Will be heading out next weekend to start seriously looking. Here's a couple I've been web shopping for the past week. Let me know what you think about my potentials. Good, bad or indifferent.

First: Link is dead

Second: Best option, of the three

Third: Same mileage/options as #2, but costs $3k more and was driven hard to get 75k miles in only three years.

What you really want, though, is a CRD :SOMBRERO:

2nd one is your best choice.
Less miles than the first, bout same as the 3rd. Its black and its an '02. It may also be pre-lowered.

Go with the second one.

I would avoid the 2007. Window regulators.

Between the first and second......get a thorough history on both of them. Any damages, service maintenance, how often they went off-road with them, type of driver the owner is like (Speed Racer or granny from pasedena).

i really like the 2nd one. very clean. nice interior, nice paint, like the wheels and tire cover, has hitch and 4-pin trailer plug, fully loaded, ready to go

99_XC600 · **Posted:** Tue Feb 02, 2010 7:09 pm

Thanks for the advice. I'm leaning toward the 02 Sport as well. It has relatively low mileage for the year. Also has a nice hitch and harness connector.

2nd looks good, but it does not look like a factory trailer hitch/harness. not a big deal really, but pop the hood to see if it infact has the HD cooling package.

If it does not have the factory towing package, check the wiring whip to see if the proper connection kit was used, or was the whip hacked into the harness.

I may be wrong, but I thought the factory package came with the 7pin round output.

RAYMAN975 · **Posted:** Wed Feb 03, 2010 7:48 pm

you can get either. i got a mopar 4 pin harness on mine. it plugs inline to the factory harness at the rear/right quarter of the jeep

Going to look at the 02 on Saturday. Hope it looks as good as it does in the pic's.

How do I know if it has the factory towing package? I know to look for an auxiliary tranny cooler but isn't there already a cooler built into the existing radiator shell. Isn't that what the tubes on right hand side of the radiator (visible through the grill are for?)

Also it looks like the KJ's are prone for developing a crack on the top of the radiator. I will be looking for this as well. Is it clearly visible or do you have to pull at the shroud to get a better look at it?

#2 and run a car fax for sure.

My CRD has the 4 pin connector too. I would like to have both.

have fun shopping and good luck.

Well the 02 was sold on Friday night. Kinda bummed out on the deal. Still looking though. Drove an 05 sport with 83k on it. It drove very nice but had more miles than what I really want. Dealer is going through their inventory to find something. Should have a answer by tommmorow.

The '02 was a 4cylinder. I'm not sure if you would have been happy with that, especially towing anything.

Keep looking, you'll come across the right one eventually.

Kinda hard to believe that no one else caught this Plus it has the D35 in the rear :shock:

not so good.

99_XC600 · **Posted:** Thu Feb 11, 2010 10:35 pm

It was a misprint. I actually called them and verified it was the V6 as it was stated on the gate.

Dealer came back today with an 06 with 39K for $12,000. Going to look at it on Fri night.

Will see what happens.

Thats pretty sharp. If you do any trail riding I don't know how much you'll like those flares. Other than that looks like a great buy. I know they have come down alot in the year that I have owned mine :banghead:

You can get that for less than I owe :banghead:
