Hey all, I just bought a 1999 Jeep Cherokee Sport 4dr 4wd in great shape in/out in NY state for $3700. The kbb says $3980 in good condition. Wondering if the deal I got was decent and also being new to a Jeep, is there anything i should be warned about keeping my eye on that are known to go bad. Thanx a lot.

That's a decent price and a pretty good year. Welcome to the addiction!

I think its an alright deal, depending on mileage and condition. Watchout for rust when you spend all your money on a lift lol. Also, leaks, valve cover, rear main, oil filter, oil pan. All those places like to drip after a few years. Properly maintained they will run a long time though. Take you time, look it over, and fix whats most important first. And post some pics, or this alleged jeep doesnt exist to us lol

Thanks for starting this thread Joey! I'm a new Jeep owner as well and have been wondering the same things. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this one
