So i bought a jeep cherokee tonight. 1996 with 215k,needs a piant job bad (clear coat is faded and painted is faded). Needs front shocks (really bouncy in the front) and headliner needs to be fixed becuase it is saggy. Its olny 2 wheel drive though,its has the 4.0 high output.Other then that its a good truck,i will have pics tommrow of it.Oh i got it for 1200 bucks. Is that a good price?

 

I would say if you are happy with it then it was a good price. Congrats!

 

IMHO, i think it was a bit of a rip off...but then again it is the 4.0 and you cant go wrong with that motor...

 

Congrats!!

 

didnt mean to sound harsh like that...

but deffinatly congrats on your new addiction...you will love your jeep!

 

jeeps are worth what someone will pay, so apperently it wasent a rip-off
im still in the market for a 4x4 so your one step ahead of me, dohhhh....

 

bud u paid a little 2 much especially for a 2 wheel drive

 

Price is Subjective and varies widely in different areas of the country. The bottom line is if You are happy with the deal then it was a good one. Around here, anything that runs and doesn't need major repair for less than $1500 is bought pretty fast.

 

I bought my '96 Cherokee 4x4 with 87,000 miles on it.......new tires.....perfect shape.....for $800. Probably the best deal I've ever got on anything in my life!

 

The paint job is nothing though,i can either paint it at my house or i can get it painted at my school so either way im olny going to be spending around 200-250 bucks on a paint job,and the shocks are olny 60 bucks for a pair from rusty's offroad.

 

X2 The 2WD thing can be fixed when you are ready.

 

Congrats and welcome to the Jeep family, whether its 2 or 4 wheel its still a JEEP IMO...Tj

 

thats what i was tryin ta say

 

 

welcome, not everyone can get a good deal, i got two jeeps for 200 bucks, so it all depends on where you live and how good you are
