Mine was free to me. Wife ordered it new in 97...a long time before we were together. I bought her a BMW and she gave me the 10 year old XJ to be my daily driver. I think I have more fun with the Jeep!

Ah these have the older body style I miss. My first two Cherokees were 89 and 93, but up here in salty New England winter the body doesn't last long before rotting to pieces around the rocker panels. On my 89 even the shock mounts rusted right off in the front, and this was with regular washes.
The newer style Cherokees dont rust as bad (none yet on mine) but they look more Soccer-mom. I miss the edginess of the original.

man i sold mine (which was only a 2.5 but auto with A/C and 96k and i threw a used set of soft 8's with 235s) and got $5700 for it! and got my 2000 classic with 116k in July of 08 with some random paint peeling on the roof and non working AC talked him down to $2400!
i feel like i stole it from him but he was going to a Prius and just didnt understand the jeep thing

$600 for the 89 I just got, runs but needs the crank sensor replaced as it has a miss and runs kind of rough, replaced the spark plugs as they were pretty bad and its much improved. Seats suck, drivers power window only goes down but the door is pretty trashed as I found out when I took the panel off, probably just replace all the doors with manual ones.
