with cherokee prices in my area?!

The first one is absurd IMO. $8K for a 11 year old vehicle? I don't care how good of shape it's in!
The second one is closer and in really nice shape, but still it seems high.

Especially since winter is almost over and this is when prices usually drop. I just don't get it.

Edit: I love how the following things are listed like it's a great deal with special options: Clock, casette player, fold down rear seat, inside hood release, trip odometer, reclining seats, carpeting, am/FM, 3pt passenger seat belts, tach, and cloth upholstery. What vehicles don't come with at least these things?

Wow, they forgot to list those other uncommon features.

Things like radial tires and windows that roll down for extra ventilation

They didn't list the sit down seats, push down pedals, and see through glass too.

that made me giggle...some of the things people try to list as options are funny, aren't most of those required to make it a street legal vehicle?

Don't forget the gauge cluster! And at the bottom-
"Loaded with options including Power Door Locks and Beverage Holder (s), Tachometer, Trip Odometer."
Also, the second one says "very clean" look closely and you can see all the dirt on the floor and that seat was originally a much lighter shade of gray than that...
Craigslist is my second favorite form of entertainment
