Well....after quite a bit of looking.... I bought a 96 Cherokee 2 door on Monday. Not perfect, but not too bad. 6 cyl, auto, runs great, looks pretty good...repainted at some point, rockers repaired, 1 small hole on each side of the floor, and it needs some new exhaust clamps and probably an alignment. Paid $2000.....how'd I do???

Gonna take some time to get used to it...new smells, noises, etc. But so far......I'm lovin' it!!!

Oh....and it only has 82,000 miles.

 

Looks good, man! Any big plans for it?

 

It looks better than the 96 4door I just bought. I looked for 3mnths

 

Dang that is a good deal for such low mileage. I got mine with about 70,000 miles but it was about 4 times that price.

 

2k? Great deal. Now you gotta ditch those ugly rims and pansy looking rubber and get some good stuff.


...wait. Is that thing 4 or 2?

 

great pick man, hope you have neat plans for it.

 

thats a steal of a deal monnn!!!! i paid 1700 for mine. it looked identical to that one only that it is a 4 door, is green and it has no 4wd. i even had those same wheels. mine had 167k on the dash when the speedo stopped working over 2 years ago!!!! haha

 

Nice!

 

It's a 4x4....

No real big plans....yet. But I am looking for a better set of wheels/tires. just looking for some 235/75's with a more aggressive tread for now to get me through the winter, then in the spring I'll start thinking bigger.

 

Very nice! Then you got a GREAT deal. I was thinking if you got a 2wd one you overpaid a bit, but the lower miles help.

235/75s should be easy enough to find at a decent price. What were you thinking for rims, though?

 

I'm not that concerned over what type of rims... more concerned about the tires being in good shape. Any style of stock rims would be ok with me.

 

Dude - the mileage on that is unreal!! I just picked up my 2005 GC Limited 5.7 with 95k on her. At $13,500. Yeah, it has all the bells and whistles but it's still a Jeep!!!
That red paint still looks new - looks like the previous owner had some proper love!
Good deal man!

 

Good point, but rims are cheap. I was also looking at these pics with on my work computer, and the monitor sucks so I missed the 4x4 on the side.

Yeah, its also got a 5.7.

 

Good fine.I found mine on CL 1k 1 owner ,a little old lady.150k. i dont think the 4x4 was ever used.2k later u wouldn't reconize it from stock.Have fun with it lots of stuff out there 4 these things....

 

Looks OK. There are a few for sale here in the UK, more so the Grand Cherokee ZJ. However, a really good XJ is rare and much more sought after. I gave £1,300 for mine about 6 months ago. I have never seen a 2 door version in the UK.That does not mean there are none.
