Rich-
Make sure you check out the rear brakes. If the pads haven't been properly
changed and you need a new rotor...you're looking at about $1500. (Rear axle
has to be dropped to change out!) You say no rust, but check around the
windows...watch for bubbling around the sill. The paint's faded due to the
poor quality of paint used in the earlier years of the XJ, but at $1300 you
could get yourself a good paint job and still have a good deal!
Good luck,
