1999 Jeep XJ Cherokee Sport 4WD - North VA (20191)

Approx 147K miles, great engine and trans ok body and interior. No rust on sills, floorpans, but rear had seen salt water occasionally and it shows.

3 years into restoration, something new caught my eye and I'd like the space.

Hood has been repainted, roof is next in a week or 2. Bumpers properly tied into frame rails front and back. New suspension, approx 2" lift, 31" tires in great shape with a full spare.

Tons of work done - engine wiring, injectors, fuel rail, complete cooling system, Durango alternator and steering box, Grand Cherokee fan clutch. Idle and throttle response are excellent

About a month from making a proper listing for local sales but I thought I'd drop in and offer to any Goons looking for a nice XJ. Picked a 99 for the good head and distributor setup, best year IMO.

How's the suspension? Any wobble (outside the usual Jeep sloppiness)?

No death wobble, have a new solid trackbar to install as the stock hollow one is bent, but PO had it aligned like that and it's good enough for now. Passed VA safety inspection through March 2023.

Rear has new doorman leafs on IRO brackets with cheap quadratec shocks - still need to install the fronts and level.

I was going to sell my 2017 MX-5 RF to Carvana but thought I would see if anyone here would be interested. Id prefer to sell it to someone instead. It is a Club model with Brembo/BBS package. 3,500 miles. Only a few minor changes from factory. Coco mats, stubby antenna, intake noise tube delete, 30% ceramic tint, and Flyin Miata LED light kit all around.



Can grab more pictures, it was just raining today and I didnt want to take it out. I would take $26k for it which is only slightly more than Carvana is offering. ih8philly@gmail.com if anyone wants to discuss.

where am I
2017 Mazda Miata RF Grand Touring 28,000 miles - Los Angeles, CA (91606)

I just made a terrible financial decision and bought a base 2023 m3 so the Miata has to go otherwise I think my finance is going to have a nervous breakdown. It's been garage kept the two years I've had it, I basically set it up to be exclusively a comfortable daily driver with being fun in the canyons without killing myself ride quality wise or giving myself too much confidence. The mods, in. my opinion are tasteful but I'll leave it up to you.

Mods I can remember include:
aFe Intake
Hooker Header (still have oem)
aFe mid pipe and Racing Beat axle back exhaust
Wilwood 6 piston big brake kit (still have oem)
Fifteen52 Chicane 17x7.5 +42 on 215/45 Falken Azeris RT615k's with less than 12k miles on them
RoadsterSport Suspension Package
This is the full Koni sport+, spring and bump stop kit. This was put on at 11k miles and I still have the original setup
Prototype iden3d powder coated louver set, targa roof also was wrapped in matte black to match the louver
Moss-Miata front lip
Grey side markers
OEM bypass for DRL to be on with primary headlights
Spyder grill
Good-Win Racing front license plate holder
Kenstyle D-Shaped steering wheel (Still have oem wheel as well)
Raceseng Spherology shift knob (still have oem knob as well)
OEM factory installed CarPlay/Android Auto
Fab9 Stage2 Snap Crackle and Pop tune














Zero issues mechanically, (that I'm aware of) Asking $26,000 locally for it, but totally happy to cut a goon a deal if they're interested. PM would be best to discuss.

***Sold***

Ok, another car is going up for sale. Same as my MX-5, Ive decided to pivot my career and want to free up funds to do so, so this vehicle is up for sale.


2006 Cayenne Turbo. I bought this vehicle a little neglected and spent some time taking care of deferred maintenance to make it a comfortable long distance soft roader.

Air suspension works and will cycle through the entire range. See video below. Panoroof works. Factory tow package and trailer wiring. Front and rear heated seats. Very clean underneath; no rust. Non smoker car. CarFax shows ownership in CA, UT, and NC and has some maintenance records. I have some hard copy maintenance records from the previous owner as well. CarFax indicates no accidents and none have occurred while Ive owned it. Currently at approximately 145,000 miles.

Known issues
- Has a slight idle dip when returning to idle. It does not stall. Tried tracking down what was causing this multiple times and couldn't find anything. Took it to a shop and they charged me $500 to not fix it. I just decided to live with this.
- Tailgate struts are a bit weak. Only annoying when cold.
- Front passenger side door open switch is flaky. It sometimes wont recognize the door as being opened.
- Interior trim has the typical degrading soft touch coatings on some of the plastics. Ive stripped some of it and wrapped some of the larger pieces in vinyl. Scratches on driver interior door panel (probably from PO's dog). Small tear in rear seat center arm rest.

yeah I would not try to spend the bucks on the true OEM unit

but it should be available from your local VW dealer if you insist. 5GM711113DCBR for the complete assembly, which costs about 250 dollars

Everything I saw looked like lovely knockoffs. I don't plan on spending brand new OEM prices, I'm hoping to find someone who upgraded theirs and is willing to sell off the old one.

Cross-posting my Miata from Facebook Marketplace. Had to replace it with a 440i Gran Coupe because I'm old now and needed something with an automatic, back seat, and real trunk :v:

Would vastly prefer to sell it to a goon and will discount accordingly.

Owning it is actually not that bad. I've found working on it too be surprisingly straight forward.

Selling it... I feel like people are expecting an awful lot. Like, why don't I have all the original service records? And, I was expecting you to have the original lights and wheels. Which would all be great; go buy one on BaT for $25k if that's what you need. It's a nice driving, very clean 17 year old car. It is exactly what I've presented it as.

This is funny to me b/c my father in law is into Porsches and loves all that poo poo. :lol: Even when he buys one he tries to track down previous owners to get more info to fill in the gaps. He's old and charismatic enough that it's not weird to them, so far.
