Default New Cherokee owner here... good find?

I found an '86 Cherokee... 2.8 V6, interior looks like it was never used, zero rust, (rust-proofed when new), 38,500 miles

$3500 .... runs great! Just had it tuned up, new plugs ,wires, and belts...

I have the original window sticker and bill of sale from the dealership.

Just want to join the club and say , "Hi"....


What do you think? Good deal? Yes? No? Did I get hosed?

Welcome to CF. That's hardly any miles at all. If it looks as good as you've described and has no issues, that price isn't bad as long as you're happy with that little V6 engine.
