Default about to buy. give me an opinion

so Im searching for a 5 speed 4 door xj
and craigslist is a barren wasteland of grand cherokees.
I guess everyone sells their xj's right before summer
this one matches the description. price is fair for my area $1600
exept it has 200k miles and 4x4 isnt working!

check this ad for me. I'm not feelin it but I dont think I'll have any other options for awhile. whats your opionion

I know Exactly how you fell. I have been looking for 6 months and I have 5000 to spend on one. I have had bad luck. I have already went to go buy two and they backed out at the last minute. It looks clean but it sound like more trouble than its worth. I would keep waiting and looking.

I don't know if this fits your needs but I found this one. http://modesto.craigslist.org/cto/2715406941.html

It's a nice one cant lie. but Im looking for all stock
and my budget is $2000 or less. I've bought two amazing cherokees already for $600 and $800
no problems at all I just wrecked them both but they never failed me.
I want to buy super cheap with body damage or anything really
because I can fix it. just has to have good engine and tranny
then I plan on putting every other penny into upgrades

and Ive looked at almost every jeep posted on CL in california (and part of nevada)
its hard out there for a pimp
