1987 Cherokee XJ - $2500 ???
1987 Cherokee XJ with 4.0, 4 doors, 5 speed, body looks good in pictures except for ugly faded paint, interior not too bad, 170K miles.
They are asking $2500.
Seems a little high to me for that year, but then I always say miles and condition are more important than year. Looking for a primary 4x4 vehicle to replace our FWD car.
It's about an hour away here in Montana, but it has Tennessee plates. (Rust...?)
Should I go look at it ???

I wouldn't mind the older interior, etc but we're looking for a primary vehicle that will be mostly driven by my wife, as she does all the shopping trips to town and likes to go places more than I do. It would also be used for a once a year trip out of state and daily in the winter hauling 5 gallon jugs of hot water to our horses on the other side of our property.
I would prefer a manual but she really needs an automatic. I already have my truck which is an old full size chevy 4x4 - looks like hell but runs and drives nice.
Whatever we get needs to last a long time because there is nothing made anymore that we like or that would even work for our needs. The newer four/all wheel drive vehicles are not really even intended for use off of paved roads

I bought my 89 with 160k miles, 0 rust anywhere on it, for $500. It needed some engine work, but i've done most of that myself, and its a running driving machine for less than $1500 (if you don't count the tools/time/modifications)
It has a clean interior, and pretty straight body too.

Anyway, the guy with the 1999 already has two people looking at it this evening, so we probably won't get a chance at it. I had checked CL last night about suppertime and not again until after chores this morning. I'm not going to buy anything that I can't see in daylight; it's dark by five pm here now plus we have morning/evening chores.
Edit: The 1999 Jeep is sold as of 5pm MST
