Default Any comments appreciated

My wife is interested in a 2000 jeep grand cherokee, Our main concern for this vehicle is a daily driver... It needs A/C, radio is a plus for her, and be comfortable. I have only owned and messed around with jeep cherokees, most of all renix eras ones.

So if the price is good and everything works out, should we bite? Any negativity towards these grand cherokees????

Yes, same 0331 casting. 2002-2004 WJ is preferable as far as the 4.0 motor is concerned.

The early liberty model was horribly unreliable from what I've seen.
