Default How Much Should I Pay For A...

There is a dealer in Houston that has several 2000-2001 Jeep Cherokees under 75K miles. KBB has them priced about $9,400 but that seems low. What would be a fair offer to make on some of these. I really like the Black and the Blue one. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks.

This ^. No way in hell I would pay 9k for any Cherokee. I don't care if it would have 5k miles on it.

Id say offer $6k cash at most because $9000 + tax title and license you're looking at about $11,000 or more depending on apr

$9400 seems low to you? If you came there with a 2000 XJ with 56000 miles he would offer you $1,800 because its 12 years old. He is asking 7900$ for the one with 123000 when you could buy those for $4,000. That might tell you something about what a "fair price" should be on the other ones. Unless the prices are so different over there. They are rare with that low milage but I would never even think of an XJ if it meant that I have to dish out so much cash. My .02

It's a really good thing you came to us first. I've never seen any cherokees priced that high. anywhere. ever
I don't think there is an existing stock cherokee that is worth more than $7000 maximum
you dont want a 2000-2001 anyway

Jeez. Stay away from that. Craigslist is your best friend when looking for a car.

Yeah no effin way. My 99 had 83,000 on it when I got it for 3,000.

9000-14,000 for an xj. With that I'm sure you could get a good solid xj and buy a new engine and trans for it, crap you could probably mod it out of it as well and still have some
$ for gas.

That's nuts imho.

What's wrong with the 2000-2001 models? I want one as a daily driver. Am I asking for trouble?

cracked heads hit or miss. depends on your luck. 95-99 are the very best years
I got a 93 because who needs airbags anyway
