Condition is going to make the biggest difference.
I doubt i'd pay more than 3k for a 98 and it'd have to be in damn good shape.
Pictures or a link to an ad would help a lot.

Looks like this: https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f46/19...ee-rig-106156/ but stock, and has a pop up sun roof.
I will go see it today.

If it's as clean as that one I'd go for it if you aren't married to the cash.
Check for leaks.
Check for clean oil.
Check for rust .
All that good stuff. If there's NOTHING wrong with it then I may go for it.
If it has issues I wouldn't pay more then 2500-3k (Without seeing it.)

My Jeep
I got rid of a Dodge Neon from my wife as it was having too many issues even though at the time I was barely driving it. I got $1500 for it. Bought the Jeep for the same amount from a friend. It is a 1996 4-door 6 Cyl. Cherokee. It has a ton of cosmetic issues but no major damage or major issues wrong with engine. I've got some work to do I am sure. I am working on restoring it so that it will last a while. It will be a while before I can buy any kind of new car anyway. I am sure some of you are in the same boat but at least the Jeep is paid for right?

Picked mine up for $300 at an auction. It was a DUI rig so I knew it had to run. 206k ran perfect, now it has 212k and still runs awesome.
clutch slave cyl was bad, pulled the trans and found it had a new clutch in it! that was nice to see.
It acually looked good before I got my mud\trail hungery hands on it.
