Default Craigslist Find! Go or No Go?

I've been looking for a newer Cherokee lately (my 90 is lovely, but slowing down) and found this!

http://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/cto/3755032990.html

emailed him and he sent me this description back:
it is in very good to excellent condition throughout, with all items and options working as they should. Since purchasing, it has always been kept in my garage. Engine and transmission are in perfect conditions, no leaks, no smoke, no slips. The jeep gets serviced every 3000 miles.
The engine runs very strong and smoothly. The transmission with overdrive shifts perfectly. The tires are showing good tread. The brake pads are all in excellent condition. The oil & filter and the air filter are freshly changed. The suspension and steering feel nice and tight. There aren’t any service indicators or warning lights on. This was a very well maintained vehicle, and it runs and drives beautifully, but all in all it is still very shiny and looks great. This truck rides and handles really smooth. It is a non-smokers jeep. It has never been in an accident. It has a clear and clean title, free of all liens and encumberances (so the jeep is ready for a quick and safe deal).

Looks Great. I paid $4,800 for my 2001 with 89,000 +/- miles on it. Looks & sounds like a good deal.... let us know how you do.

It's a little bit above my budget, but considering the miles and how clean it is, it seems worth it.

Definitely worth it if you can get it. 49,000 miles is an awesome deal. If I had the money I'd be willing to pay that for a Jeep in that condition, especially for a DD, then you still have your 1990 to go play with

Hmm an almost 15 year vehicle with only 49k? It sounds like an awesome deal but I'd be cautious. My guess is at some point, it sat for a while. Or had the gauge cluster swapped and that isn't true. I hate to rain on the parade but just be cautious. If everything checks out, I'd say buy it
