so as you guys can tell im obviously mechanically challenged but ive been thinking and hunting for a cherokee for weeks. so im looking for guidance here and hope to learn a thing or two

oh and im so happy to find this forum

thanks a bunch

 

anyone??

 

are these GRAND CHEROKEES? Because the lardeo was only till 92

 

yeah they are both Grand Cherokees..

any other important detail i forgot to include??
sorry im super new to this.

 

Of course there is no substitute for checking them out in person. Anyway by the description in the adds they both seem like good candidates. Although the '95 owner seems quite adamant about the care, could be true or him concealing something. I'm usually fairly sceptical about sellers.

 

i do plan to bring both jeeps to a mechanic to get them professionally checked out. but what if both checks out ok, which one to choose i need help on.

 

Umm, in my opinion that '95 looks dated, but i do prefer the zj styling. If it were me i would go with the '99. Although most likely once you get into each of them, you'll prefer one and your decision will be made. Good luck on the hunt.

 

if your from LA and looking for a jeep good luck, i live in san fernando valley and had to drive to las vegas to get mine.....and for my friend we have been looking for 5 months now and nothing decent (he doesnt want to drive far to get one)

 

id go with the 96 i like the boxier zjs better but in my opinion get an xj! i love mine lol

 

ugh yeah tell me about it. ive been stressed and frustrated for weeks now hunting one down around LA.

PS whats a zxj and xj?? sorry i dont know the terms..

 

ZJ= 93-98 Grand Cherokee
XJ= Cherokee (all years, I think)
