A coworker of mine has a 1992 Cherokee limited that he has offered me. He drove it for quite a while has about 160k on it. He parked it a year ago and it has not run since. He said it ran and drove fine when he parked it. He bought a diff jeep and had that as a spare vehicle. The question I have is this. Is it worth the 500$? I kind of figure it is. Even if it takes some work to get drivable. I'm looking for a new DD and I was considering this. I had an 89 limited and that thig had everything in the world wrong with it. Seemed like the technology was pretty new at the time and it was a hassle. Abs acted up idled super high on and off would stall occasionally if you turned a corner. Not sure if they improved between then and 1992. Let me know what you think!

 

500? uh yeah

 

Not worth $500.
BTW, What's your friends number? LOL

 

Sounds like a good deal to me. $500 for the Jeep, $100 for a decent battery, another $150 for a tuneup (spark plugs, wires, cap & rotor, fuel filter, fluid change etc). Puts you at around $750 give or take a $100 or so.

Oh, and yes there are some changes between 89 and 92. Your old 89 was a renix, the 92 should be a HO. (little more horsepower) also the 92 likely doesn't have a vacuum actuated front axle. (if this is bad info someone please correct me)

 

I figured I could scrap it if worse comes to worst and get my $$ back. It's downstate near my tree farm so I will probably pick it up and park it in my barn. Should hopefully only take a little while to get her up to snuff! Plus I can put my new destination at's off my 2000 on it. Just gives me more reason to buy stuff for my 2000!

 

Get it.

 

Any jeep is worth that with the 4.0. I would be all over that one.

 

do itt!

 

good deallll

 

All I have to do now is convince the wife that we need another jeep. She was skeptical when I chose to park the 2000 and begin its overhaul, she is really going to blow a gasket when I tell her I am buying another jeep of the same style to replace it. Wish me luck.

 

Get a hold of me if she shuts you down! $500 is a good price.

 

Hey, some people, myself included, LOVE the Renix operating system. Just gotta know how to test sensors instead of read OBD codes! Lol

Good luck!

 

Wasn't knocking renix, they are much easier to work on and just as reliable.

 

$500? Unless it's 100% rust definitely go for that lol. Shouldn't be too bad to get going and I think you'll find some aftermarket support for the 92 era better than your 2000. Even for a bush beater, to me it seems there's a lot more replacement parts floating around too.

Nonsense. I'd love to have a fleet of the things. At any rate, a liberal application of RTV should fix that little issue... lol
