does anyone have a subscription to carfax who could look me up a report for a cherokee i am considering buying. It is a 2001 Jeep cherokee 78,000 miles automatic 4x4 stock, bigger tires new and new brakes, university owned vehicle, the guy wants 6150, do you think thats a reasonable price? No rust, clean vehicle.

 

carfax is not perfect, plenty of people have used it and found problems later (google carfax sucks) If you are really interested have a good mechanic look it over before you buy.

 

THanks for the advice, I am planning on taking it to a mechanic while I am down there, he lives in Zanesville and I am in Akron ohio so its a hour and 30 mins away and with this snow might be longer. I do not know any mechanics down there, I plan on asking him to go with me to a close mechanic shops and ask them if they can check it out for me and look under it for me and see if the frame and everything looks good and will probably charge me around 30 im guessing? Any advice on this? Whats a good national mechanic shop to take it to or would a small mechanic shop be better?

 

Be very careful in acquiring a vehicle from carfax... Many negative feedback from that website...

 

Moved to cherokee chat.

 

Price sounds reasonable for the miles.

 

6k is a little high for it, i got my jeep with 80,000 miles for only 3000 and it was in perfect condition, altough ive never seen this jeep, im just going by what ive seen out there

 

Carfax blows.

 

I think $30 should get you a good inspection. Small shop or national chain... either could be good (or bad). AAMCO got in to trouble years ago for shady business practices but I've not heard good or bad lately.
I googled Zanesville auto repair and found a few with good reviews:
