I just saw some information on the Cash for Clunkers program and I'm thinking about putting my XJ back to stock as cheaply as possible, trading it in for a whole lot more than its worth and using that money toward a vehicle for my wife. I would then turn around my buy a TJ and sell the parts off my XJ or I can just keep the parts off my XJ and buy a newer XJ to put them on, but I really miss taking the top and doors off like when I had my CJ7s. What do you guys think?

roger if you do that then doug is going to have to get a tj, and then we'll have to start all over with him in re-training. but seriously, why not buy a tj anyway?? nothing wrong with having 2 rigs. if you just want a pos to turn in then you can have my geo. come get it out of my garage lol.

One of the rules of this program is that the vehicle has to be driveable and has to have been owned, registered and insured for a minimum of one year in order to qualify. They did this because people would go pick up a piece of junk for $300 and then try to trade it in for $4500. My XJ will never be worth more than $1500-$2000 to sell outright so I am looking at this as an excuse to get into something with a lot fewer miles. I like the TJs, but I have found some nice XJs for about half the price of a TJ so I may still go that route. The main thing is that my wife has to find a vehicle that she likes that qualifies for the program.

I ran across this XJ last night with only 93,000 miles. My bumpers and sliders would attach nicely.

I'd love to, but we are buying an economical car with the trade in money from my XJ. I have to buy something with cash so I don't have to have a 2nd car payment. I'm thinking up to $6k or so for whatever I buy.
