Why do you own a XJ ? Most are now over 20 Years old.......
I have been wondering about this for a while and thought it might make a interesting
topic to discuss.....................................
So I guess I will go first.... I Own a XJ Because....
After the missus put the ED Falcon wagon into a tree 5 years ago I needed another
tow vehicle as you cant tow anything with a PT Cruiser The falcon was perfect
for that I only had $2000 insurance and could scratch up another couple of grand
to get a replacement vehicle........I needed a automatic as my disability dont
let me drive manuals anymore a 4x4 would be nice living in the outback.
So a XJ seemed a good idea I ended up getting mine from a guy in town for $750
after 5 years of fixing near everything ..now it owes me about $7500 But looks like its worth $1000
and realisticly only worth that.
So much for being a cheap 4x4 ......... But you know I wouldnt part with it !
And what could I buy for $7500 ? I know every nut and bolt on my XJ
I can fix it if I have to ..... I know all its little quirks .....
I am not a serious 4x4er But I go off road every day down dirt roads and bush tracks
the dogs hobby is roo chasing .................so we go bush every day..do some camping
Its comfortable to drive long distances in Suits all my needes why would I drive anything else.
Yes I will have to spend more $ to keep a 22 yr old car on the road ...........But I just like it.
So why do you choose to drive a OLD 4x4?
