Description
Overview: This 1990 Jeep Cherokee Limited is a rugged 4WD SUV equipped with the durable 4.0L inline 6-cylinder engine. Known for longevity, these engines can often reach 600,000 miles with proper care.
Condition: The vehicle is currently a project car and is 'a little banged up.' It requires a battery jump to start and will likely need to be towed due to alignment issues. The engine runs and drives well otherwise.
Features and Repairs: The front passenger fender and driver-side mirror are damaged, but replacement parts are included with the sale. This 'tank' of a vehicle is being sold as-is for a negotiable price.
History: Clean title vehicle located in Lancaster. The seller is open to trades for motorcycles or dirt bikes with minimal issues.
Market Highlights
- The XJ Legend: In 2026, the Jeep Cherokee XJ has transitioned from a cheap used car to a bona fide classic. Enthusiasts prize the 1990 Limited for its simplicity and the 4.0L engine's 300,000-mile-plus durability, ensuring there is always a floor for these vehicles even in project condition.
- High Desert Demand: Located in Lancaster, this Jeep is in a prime market for 4WD vehicles. Southern California's desert and mountain access keeps demand for affordable off-road platforms high, often commanding a 10-15% premium over rust-belt states where these vehicles have long since succumbed to corrosion.
- Project Value Proposition: While this specific unit has cosmetic damage and alignment issues, the $1,500 entry point is significantly lower than the $5,000+ typically seen for clean-body XJs. For a buyer with mechanical skills, the sweat equity potential makes this a highly attractive short-term investment or trail rig.
