Default Tasked to find new jeep

So one of my best friends just lost his stang to a rod knock. He's been home sing for a cherokar since I've gotten mine. So now he's tasked me with finding him a suitable one. I find it great now my Craigslist trolling has a purpose! Only one bad thing. How can someone post it's a 4.0 v6 and post a picture of the damn engine ? I mean c'mon! It's in a damn line man ain't no v nothing !!!!

The amount of ignorance from people in general is astounding.

People think all engines are V. I thought the same when I was 12 (except for I4s). Just means they have no idea about vehicles.

If anything it should be a handy indicator of owner familiarity. Either they'll have had all work done by shops as problems come up or no maintenance at all.

Most have no idea they just drive it,Some even misspell the cars name when its wrote all over it.Search craigslist for camero you will find a few.Or they post a worthless add with little to no info at all.I have seen ones that just said ford truck for sell and a number.Or they think spending 3 grand on lift tires etc etc make it worth 3 grand extra.No bank would give you a 20k loan for a 10k car.
