Bleh.
That's what I think.
I never liked Grand Cherokees of any sort. But I prefer ZJs over WJs any day, and here's why (found this on Google):

Forgive my math....
Common core
4,500 is what you would be paying really, sounds fair to me.

I have an XJ and a WJ. The WJ is the 4.0, it's an 01 with 175k on it now. Ride comfort there is no comparison between them. The WJ is so much nicer, from seats to coils all around.
But if you plan to mod the WJ and make it a wheeler, you need to know that everything costs about 3x what a comparable XJ mod would be. And a lot of stuff is just simply not made for WJ's, so you have to build some of it yourself, or pay someone a ton of cash to get it made for you.
The price seems a bit high to me, but you are also getting about double what I would expect from my XJ at trade-in. In the end, paying $4.5k for that WJ sounds like a good deal to me, especially if you have proof that it was maintained well.
