Default should I buy this jeep

looking at a 97 4x4 4.0 liter with 197k rebuilt title, i think its going to need a rear bearing and the engine idles a little rough, also the driver rear door gets stuck which i really dont care about its just a second car for the dogs/ the dessert shooting ect. got him down to 1000 cash. the price is really cheap and it wont be driven to much what do you guys think?

Where did you find something like that for a respectable price? EVERYwhere online it seems people think the cherokee is worth more then double what kelley blue book and edmunds both say its valued at.

Looks good for 1K.

Assuming there is no rust and it passes inspection, $1000 seems fair.

Doesn't really look like its 4x4 though...I thought they said 4x4 on the rear quarter panel...and I can't really make out any handle for the 4x4 lever I'm the cabin picture...just be patient though goo deals pop up from time to time

I noticed that too, but I think I can see the handle. Probably just repainted.
