Hi all, as a newby I thought it only polite that I introduce myself, I am a part time car trader and photographer who bought a 1994 Cherokee ZJ a few months back. Within a week of collecting that car I was offered a couple of hundred of quid over what I had paid for the car so the car was sold to them. During that week though I found that the Jeep was an amazing car!! It towed great, (collecting auction cars etc.) it was spacious, had an amazing engine (inline 6) which seemed so unstressed it was unbelievable, even with close to 175k on the clock!! The comfort levels were also great and it pulled like a train!! I loved it!! Once it had gone I missed it as I had nothing to tow with, but more than that, I missed driving it, a void in my fleet had developed. I tried to fill that void with a cheap Land Rover Discovery but that didn't work at all, I found that whilst the Landy pulled well enough they are poverty spec cars by comparison. That was promptly moved on too. This left me craving a Cherokee and I have been scouring the web and auction houses for another Cherokee, this time, to keep.
I have now found the desired vehicle and will be collecting it on Wednesday, it has low mileage (112K) and I am told that it has a small engine water leak that I shall have to investigate and it has some minor damage to the rear quarter that I shall sort out. Naturally I have paid less than book price for it due to these issues, however, I am looking forward to weilding my spanners and spray tins in an attempt to keep this beauty on the road (and maybe occasionally off it too)! Maybe a small lift might be looked into in the future...
Anyway I have bored you all for long enough now so I shall dissapear of to browse these forum pages, I have attached an photo of my "keeper" ZJ below, and no, I didn't take that picture of her, that's the sellers photo, I will post my own images in the future if people are interested
