Default Help me? I know nothing!

I'm looking at a 1998 Cherokee Larado 4x4 with 89K on it. It is in excellent looking condition. Has the V-8. He wants $6K for it and I think I can get it for around $5,500. Only thing is I don't know what to look for or if I should hold out for the 6 Cylinder.

I just want a toy and don't want a lot of problems. I'll be using it for light off-roading. Seems like the 6 cyclinder is the better engine from what I'm reading. I was not impressed with the V-8 power, seemed kinda weak.

Is that price to high?

PS - Death Wobble? It seemd to have a wierd feeling a couple of times while driving it, like it was on ice

Any suggetions appreciated, thanks!

TAKE A LOOK AT A FEW XJ'S. GRANDS ARE A DIME A DOZEN. CHEROKEE'S ARE A DYING BREED AND GENERALLY HAVE FEWER AMENITIES, RESULTING IN FEWER PROBLEMS.
