If youre really interested in the 00 check oil for antifreeze take oil fill cap off and with good flashlight inspect whats going on in there and look real hard between cyls. 3 & 4 for crack. If you decide to buy it do t-sat. change coolant flush and new rad. cap and of course find out why the cel is on? before you buy it my 2cts.

I would go with $3000 and offer that to the owner of the 00. A stack of $100 bills will speak volumnes. Remember, be there and let him see the money. Do not offer it on the phone. Only in person. Say this is all you got. Especially with the CEL on, he'll probably take it. Then get in it, reach in your other pocket for $500 and your cell phone, go buy the 99.

That's a really good idea, but he already said 4, which can make them think they can get it for 4 somewhere else if he offers no more than 3. 3k in 100's is alot of dough and can make anyone drool but you never know what they are gonna say. I would take out 3500, and offer them the 3k. keep the 3k separate from the 500 and if they decline, bring out the 500. if they accept the 3k go after the parts jeep.

i agree tell them since the cel came on youll pay $3500 take the other $500 and buy the other jeep. even if you dont want both

you could fix both of them decide which one you want and sell the other for a profit

Both...for sure.

The parts + scrap price of the 99 would make it worth it. Id buy almost any Cherokee for $500, your looking at $200 just in scrap (more with aluminum wheels), and if it has good glass and interior, no rust fenders and doors, you will make some money and have plenty of spare parts. I wouldnt buy one with that many miles for a DD though, wheel it or part it.
