I'm a potentially new Cherokee owner. I'm trying to decide between similar models, one from 91 and the other 96. Both are sport 4wd, inline 6, 4.0. The 91 has 160,000 miles and is selling for $1400. The 96 has 218,000 and is selling for 2100. Both have extensive service records, but the 96 looks nicer (possibly simply because it is newer). Otherwise, they are comparable. I'm just looking for a reliable around town tank. I want something that isn't going to start slowing breaking down. Any advice on which to take and why? Thanks for the help

I'd get the 96. If for no other reason than it's an H.O. I'm biased and allergic to Renix.

If it's been taken care of the mileage shouldn't matter.

same here. but I'm pretty sure 91 models were high output? mine was

I'd pick the 91 and day. my 91 and my 94 have been the most reliable models I've owned

my 91 is a HO...i personaly would go with the 91 for two reasons...less $$ and less miles...no brainer fer me but what do i Know?

I have a 91 and a 96, both are H.O.

my 91 is OBD I, has better seats but the vacuum disconnect front axle and dana 35 rear. also has front wing windows that open

the 96 is OBDII, but non-disco frnt axle and chryslr 8.25 rear. also has some 96 model year only parts

both have been great, but for lower miles and less money, 91 seems the way to go

The 91 has less miles and gives you money left over to spend on it like maintenance and mods.

91 isn't Renix. The Renix XJs were 87-90.

I'd get the 91, cheaper and lower miles. Should have another 160,000 miles left in it if its taken care of.

x2. I'd avoid the 96 just for the 96-only parts.
