Default Craigslist Cherokee Gold

Found this one on craigslist, didnt really want to go get it, made an "if nobody else comes and buys it" offer, they called back yesterday and it was mine for next to nothing. 90 2dr sport, 4.0, 5spd, flawless body (other than paint fade), decent interior (no headliner), has an unknown lift on it that is springs and shocks all around, has 31x10.50's on it. Starting to look like a Jeep salvage yard around here, damn you craigslist!

Got it for $150. Plus diesel, about $85
Good eyes spotting the comanche. Its 90 2wd that the PO installed an HO into complete, looks factory including all the wiring. Body is rust free but bed side has damage. Paid $500 for that one. Not sure what to do with either one really, just knew I had to have them.

Must be nice paying below scrap for a vehicle. I bought a rusted MJ for parts and still had to pay above scrap.

Probably, but now you know what I paid for it, and I know what its worth, and those numbers are far apart.

Understandable that you would want to make some money but before we talk about a price where are you from I'm in ohio

yeah sounds like you have the 'bug', I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news but there is no medical cure for it, you must wing off slowly and in time will heal itself...

had a German addiction bad for years when I lived in so cal, an addiction that made me lots of money.. there are still many people out there that think an old vw isn't worth anything..

I love looking for finds like that, there's much worse things you could be doing with your time/money..

Craigslist is always great for parts and jeeps. I just scored a new ( used only a couple times) defender rack for under 200 with the correct mounts.
