Thanks for all the info guys! We ended up going ahead and buying it! Dang, fourwheelerjeff, those XJ's are sweet looking! I think for hers, we are going to keep it stock for a year (pay it off a bit) then, it'll be time for a 3" lift and some 31's! 
For now it's gonna be stock but, we are going to get some nice Husky mats and a dog bar thingy for above the back seat. Gonna use the Jeep to haul the dog around! Here's some pics:
Happy new owner:
Really clean inside!:
