Ok so heres the story, i found this 1992 cherokee on cars.com, 196,000 miles strait 6, two door automatic 4x4 for $795, all it needs is an altenator and a possible blower motor or switch for the motor, other then that everything is supposed to work, i was going to offer guy $600 but let me know what you guys think because i am going to call him back tomorrow/possibly tonight.
heres the link if anyone is interested:

Just me.......but I would buy it. I bought mine for 800 (91) and it's a strong XJ. But always budget to make repairs you find that you need (other than what they say)
Mine, so far (only had it 3 weeks now):
Entire Cooling system (w/p, radiator, bypass valve, t-stat, hoses)
Rear brake cylinder
Booster
But be thankful that parts are inexpensive.

Those wheels... 
Other than that, looks straight. The carpet/upholstery needs some help, but I'm guessing all it really needs is a good cleaning. Not sure about that wire with the barrel plug sticking out of the vent on the dash, guessing he bypassed the bad blower switch?
$600 seems like a decent price if it runs and drives OK. It does not have an airbag, though, even though the ad says it does.

Less likely to have the steering wheel explode in your face while wheeling.

Yeah, I came to Florida on vacation once. 8 years ago. Still here.
