Default Jeep Cherokee Asking Price?

Was curious about an asking price for a 1998 Cherokee 4x4. Someone rear ended the vehicle which caused both rear rails to bend slightly - causing squeaks every time I drive over a slight bump. The Jeep is now under salvage title. (see my photos for Jeep) I also bought the vehicle a year ago at $4700. 150k miles currently and very clean interior.

Should I sell it? How much would be too much to ask? I want another Cherokee. I assume it would be hard to sell a salvage title vehicle for much.

You probably over-paid at $4700 so now that it has a salvage title and a damaged frame I'd say it isn't worth much more than $1000 and even that may be a stretch.

Part it out . . .

I agree with this - $1250 tops. It's a 13 year old vehicle. Sorry...

Well giving a rough guesstimate using Kelley Blue Book,

A fair price for it would be about $2500.

Anything higher than that would be a ripoff, especially since it was rear ended and there is structural damage.

You'd have trouble selling it for $1000.

Not on a salvage title.

You're probably stuck with it unless your willing to lose your *** on it. If you like it and it was a good heep, keep it, fix it, and wheel it.

Cant speak to the salvage title but clean Cherokee 4x4s are bringing premium prices in southern California. Ive seen some low mile Cherokees with 4x4 sell for 9k recently.

Thanks all for the input. I still plan on keeping the Jeep for as long as possible (or until the rear rails break in half). I recently ordered KFX subwoofer box, but I don't plan on many more upgrades due to the salvage-vehicle issue.

Has anyone ever heard of anyone having the rear rails on their Jeep replaced?

You can have anything replaced. It all comes down to whether the cost is worth it.

Even if you do have it replaced you still have a 13 year old salvage titled vehicle.

What you paid for it was too much.
Time to take a loss.
