Default Buying Jeep, need opinions....

Hi, I'm trading my car (92 Talon Tsi) for a Jeep Cherokee This car I'm trading it for is a '99 cherokee sport 4x4. The guy says its got 3" lift and 31" tires??? can someone with more experience with these cars pitch in their oppinion. I've compared pictures and I'm not to sure if it does or not. Thanks for your help guys.

Looks about right. I have a 99 with 3" and 31's also. I have only had mine for about 5 months and so far I love it. Looks like a good condition vehicle, if you aren't sure about the mechanical condition, investing in an hour of a trusted mechanic's time is a good investment.

The biggest factor would be how it has been maintained. Yes the 4.0 and Aw4 (if that's what you have) are practically bulletproof, nothing lasts if it is not maintained.
