So, I went and checked out this Cherokee on Wednesday. Overall it was a disappointment and I have decided NOT to purchase this one.
First off...It is not certified. The dealer has no records of when the timing chain has been changed or when the fluids have been flushed. I pulled off the spark plug from the second cylinder and there was black sludge like a ****. Surprisingly there really wasn't too much rust..mostly just around the quarter panels. The cat was in pretty bad shape and the leafs did not seem to be in too good of shape.
I was really hoping that this would be my first cherokee but it seemed like there would be ALOT of work put into this jeep to even get it running well for winter so I had to pass on this one. Feelsbadman.
