hello every one.

i dont actually have a jeep yet i just thought i would ask all of you nice people before i payed for it.

its a 1996 jeep cherokee sport. it is 2wd and has 315000 miles on it. but the motor was replaced at 175000.

it needs some cleaning and all but over all it is nice. all the electric stuff works
but the HVAC fan does not blow or kick on.

and it has an exhaust leak close to the motor as far as i can here and one at the muffler.

it drives nice but shakes like an earthquake from 40-50mph. but nothing before or after.

the price is $1500.

should i buy it or pass? it would be a toy seeing as i have a car that is perfect .

just want some good advice.

and thanks every one!

 

pass keep searching,theres no point in buyin a 2wd heep for 1500 that u have to work on

 

x2

 

so its no good at all? i know its not 4wd but you all think the jeep is to high miles and old? i know engine is some what new but trans is 315000 ,iles on it. radiator is new. but it is missing a radio also.

so i should look else where? thats the consensus?

 

just keep lookin,unless u can get it for about 500,i wouldnt pay a dime over that

 

and its funny the price is reduced from 2K. but down here in the south jeeps sell for a whole lot. no matter what.

but i will pass on this one then. thanks every one. and maybe when i do finally get a jeep i can contribute to this forum.

 

im in NC and jeeps here go for very cheap,i could get a xj that runs and i could drive away in her for about 800,all it might need is a tune up...maybe

 

Im in texas and on craigslist near here there isnt a cherokee for more than 3 grand and those are the nice ones. i picked mine up in its current state for $1200. but it was a steal

 

any one want to hook me up with one then? lol

 

where are you located?

 

Ya i say pass...im hopefully getting another xj this weekend...its a 99 sitting on an 8" long arm lift, and dana 44 and 60 axles only 166,000 miles...for $2000.....so yeah you can find a lot better for cheaper if your patient.lol

 

oh wow. thats an amazing dealyou could sell the axels for that around here

 

Ya im trading my highboy for it...same axles.lol

 

hahah nice. do axels go cheap around there?

 

O ya they go pretty cheap...actually just found a good 14 bolt for $100...even a set of 2.5 ton rockwells for $1000.lol...i actually sold and old military chevy diesel with a dana 60 and corperate 14 for $1200...axle's alone where easily worth that.lol
