It's a '95 Z28. LT1 motor. And ill try and talk him down but in my area it is somewhat of an acceptable price. There are quite a few jeeps but mostly all Grand Cherokees and the regular cherokees are all stock and just beat to hell or insane miles. I think I will end up buying this even if I have to shell out $3400. I've been looking for a jeep for upwards of 6 months and I'm just tired of looking and want to go have some fun finally.

Also I'm kinda trying to find something not stock because I just dont have the time or money to build my own up.

Ya that I then have to dump thousands into to do what I want it to. IMO cherokees are hideous and disgusting til they get a good size lift and tires.

If you can't appreciate the vehicle for what it is in factory form, then maybe you should move on to something different

I don't see why that matters. Many vehicles arent impressive stock. Once modded/upgraded they become 10 times more impressive in every way. Jeeps are one of those vehicles. Toyotas also, Camaros also, Mustangs, Anything with power or that would be used for offroading.

Didn't notice the salvage title. That alone would cut any offer in half if I was using it for a DD.
