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!

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?
