I am looking at a 97 ZJ Laredo 4x4 w/ 5.2 and only 68K. It's a dealer and they are asking $2200. What do you guys think??

Check kbb.com, but my off the cuff response is that it sounds pretty good to me, especially for the low miles.

That tells me that a private seller would be looking for $1000-1500 for it. There's a reason it's cheap, so look it over real well before you buy.

Sweet deal, but a dealer is only asking 2200? Something must be wrong with it. Check it out good before handing over any money. I paid 2900 for my 95 with 158k on the odometer.

Have you seen this ZJ personally to verify that it has only 68k? It may be a typo otherwise and have 168k. Maybe just the motor has 68k on it. Something just doesn't sound right for the price.

I've seen a lot of Craigslist ads with pictures of 2005 Grand Cherokees for less than 4 grand, they all end up being a scam.

I paid $2000 for my 97 2x with 135,000 miles. I am the second owner. Check the Jeep out good but it sounds good to me.
