I cant see the picture but if you like it and think its a good deal then do it. I would see if the guy would let you do a compession test on it and drive it around first.

It looks clean but the real question is do you want to trade. I would see if you could check it out first and let him check yours out and if you like it do it and if you dont then there are xjs everywhere

Well 160k miles on a Civic is nothing if has been well maintained and holds it resale value. As long as the Jeep has been taken care of and there are not a lot of small issues then it might be a good trade. Big problems may keep you from buying a vehicle, but the small things make you regret buying it afterward. Just give it a good inspection and go with your gut feeling.

XJ is the manufacturers designation code for all 84-01 Cherokees. Each different Jeep model has a code that the Jeep community refers to them as. This will give you a quick break down of it...

What kind of driving do you do? if you want to offoad and be able to drive places where others cant... get the Jeep
if you want to drive fast and get great gas mileage and pretty much wanna stay on the roads.. keep your car
just my 2 cents

The only concerns on a high mileage body is of course rust in the quarter panel and floor pans, and the door hinges can sometimes break at the welds to the body. Inspect the bottom of the Jeep thoroughly and take good look at the hinges and everything else should be ok unless it has been in a bad wreck in the past.

Also if you plan on modifying it for offroad use, it becomes really addictive to keep upgrading and doing more mods. If you go that route you will soon learn that Jeep stands for Just Empty Every Pocket, otherwise just general maintenance.
