    NICE !!! I put down my coffee to respond. A great color- body looks great- and a price that made you happy.

    mechanical wise (eng trans susp) what shape is that In?

    PS: keep it STOCK!

    It runs and drives great has high mileage 230k... but the engine bay is the cleanest I've ever seen on a xj needs a Neutral safety switch. Paid 600 for it.

    the U joint failed or the shaft broke?

    breaking a shaft is rare. unless you drive like well - you know what I mean

    If you have the space the other XJ could be a source of parts or just sell it.

    I'm sure she'll run any oil down her fill hole but 10W30 is recommended. Based off the mileage some might recommended Max Life or high mileage oils but pick a good one and observe for any changes in lifter noise/tap or leaks or smoke.
