Default Slighlty used late 90's grand?

A co worker of my fiance has a "late 90's Grand Cherokee with toasted brakes and the heater, defroster, and A/C does not work..." I have yet to take a look at it, but being an addict, probably will by the end of the week.
$700 to much for them to be asking?

No. You'll know when you see it how much you want to GIVE for it. The HVAC issues are all connected. They have 4 wheel coil spring suspension w/control arms, and that one should have 4 wheel disc brakes.

The HVAC issues could all be related to the HVAC control module on the bottom of the Unit if its an ATC ( Auto Temp Control ) unit, or the resistor card if its not. Either way the servicable parts are located on the bottom of the HVAC ( blower wheel, etc... ) unit behind/under the glove box on the passenger side. I have a busted driver side blend door on my HVAC unit ( Really Sux cause I don't get heat to that side in the winter - its cold all the time ). I speak from experience because my ATC control module crapped out on me as well, Jeep GC's are notorious for corroding/breaking at the connetors there under the HVAC. Anyways the ATC module is less than $200 bones and a little wiring work, a resistor and/or boneyard blower motor w/ wheel is even less (think I got mine for $25 bucks ). If it gets too much more intense than that you're rollin an IP and its probably not worth it for any HVAC fixes - but the rest of the vehicle could be worth the price, thats just what I know about HVAC.

Good luck on the rest of it...
