Few things here, take carfax with a grain of salt. There couldve been more accidents that werent reported, and on the other side, this couldve been a love tap that some **** person reported. Go see the jeep, drive and make a decision. How did people eve buy a car before carfax?

I dunno if youre from queens, but from what ive seen cherokees around here are stock and banged up physically.
