New to the forum so ... Hello
My wife drives a 94 grand cherokee laredo we bought for $1500 with one owner and 90k miles
I drive a 2000 cherokee sport i bought for $500 (replaced the head with the redesigned one from odessa head)
we all like jeep
my mother in law drives a 2012 commander
my sister in law drives an 84 cherokee
my brother in law drives a 2003 wrangler
sadly they are all daily drivers and never see wet grass much less mud

 

hey there,

Saw your post and thought you might be helpful... just registered for this site a min ago and would need some advice on buying a 1988 jeep 4*4 and has 168k mileage and selling for $2100. it also has a clean title and looks clean more than likely a single owner.It runs good and smooth but i dont know what else to look for when considering to buy a jeep. I took a mechanic with me and went for a test drive but all he said is he would get it if he was me but he didnt seem to do anything extensive or different than a lay man like me would do when buying a car.

-what questions should i ask?
-what should i check for?
-does that price seem fitting? Im a college student so price is a major factor for me not just being stingy for something worth what is being asked for

thanks for your input in advance

Thanks guys and to Dsw I always try to get stuff for the lowest price possible in addition to my $500 jeep I have been driving a 1990 accord for 3 years I bought for $200
As for questions and such check blue book value and with that mileage ask about matinence ie plugs wires filters timing chains if possible take it to a shop and get the 20 point inspection check suspension tire wear there are a lot of factors I am very mechanical and dont mind a project so I tend to haggle based on problems and things that need adressed
Hope that helps but really as they say "to each his own"
