Default 98 grand option

So I have an option to pick up a running 98 grand for almost nothing. I've always owned cherokees and never a grand. But what are some pros and cons of a 98 grand?

I have a 97(fairly low miles) and I've been pretty fortunate so far.

I've got a 98 and I like it.

Main difference is it is coils at all corners instead of leafs in the rear.

More room, less wind noise, and a better ride, but not quite as much aftermarket support like the XJ has. I love my ZJ.

Yeah the thing drawing my attention the most is the 5.2 in it. But I don't know if ill like the coils in the rear versus my xj leaves

I am selling my 97 because I got a 01 but I really loved my 97. It was hard to give it up but it was time up upgrade. My 97 was just so easy to work on and i loved the way it went down the road and looked. I have 197K on it and it runs like it is brand new but it dose have the I6 in it. How many miles do that one have on it with the V8?
