Default Got a jeep

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?

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...

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.
