Default Questions about Jeep Cherokee

Hi all, first post here.

Since I bought my 240SX in March and been testing it out, it has dawned on me to get a SUV/truck for the winter as it is terrible in the rain as it is. Been researching for months and months, and the most probable contender is a XJ Jeep Cherokee. I am on a tight budget, 2k would be the max, 1000-1500 would be the range I would be willing to pay. I was wondering, any known issues with the year range (1993-1999) for the Jeep Cherokee? What would be the most obvious things I look for when buying it? Parts that should be replaced when you first buy?

Thanks

Check all the oil levels including the transfer case.

You can expect a $1500 XJ to leak everything like a sieve, and you'll proably have to remember to keep your feet on the 2X4, yaba da do like the Fred Flintstone mobile.
