I got them down to $4,300 out the door. What do yall think? The salesman mentioned something about the grill being from an older model... Can someone elaborate if they know what he is talking about?

That is the old style front end. fenders and entire front clip. i would ask for a car fax to make sure it has not been in accident. specially since they said it has new fresh paint....
i would offer $3500....

I test drove it and I really liked it. He did mention to me that the carfax checked out all ok. I will ask him if its been in an accident and why it has an older model front clip.

Don't trust carfax, I almost totaled a car and had it fixed anyway and the carfax still doesn't show an accident and insurance paid over $9000 to fix it. Oh and that's a bit high for it and I'm also curious why you would swap the fenders, bumper and front clip to the old style. It's usually the other way around.

Yeah that's a 1st gen front clip. It must of been in an accident I can't think of any other reason for it to have the later style front clip. It does have the nice canyon rims I want. But anyway I'd offer like 2500 or less seeing how it must of been wrecked. Did you check out the "frame"?

I did crawl under it and noticed the sprayed on rino liner type stuff was ground off on the four corners under the cab. Its hard for me to put into words. Thanks for all the advise guys. Maybe I should keep looking.
There are a million cherokee's out there you will find a winner sooner or later.

Mine was in a wreck as you can see in my picture hit on the front drivers side before I bought it and on the front frame piece right behind the bumper its cracked just a tiny bit, so look for that stuff when looking for one even if it looks mint.
