I paid $2000 for my '97 in amazing shape. The key is, if it is worth it to you, then it's worth it. Look up a KBB value on it, and go from there. Take in consideration what it will need, if anything, and do some mental calculations. Make sure that it will pass inspection (if you live in an "emissions county"), and if it doesn't have a current sticker, get him to have it inspected prior to sale. $1900 OBO sounds like a pretty good deal to me, but give it a thorough look-over (check oil for a "coffee" color indicating a head problem, check for leaks and severity thereof) and ask him why he's selling, what he used it for, last trans service, diff service, oil change, brake job, etc.. Most people don't ask those questions and they reveal important information as long as they are being truthful.

And of course, after I've written this whole thing.... I realize that you are no newbie to the automotive world, so forgive the info you already knew! LOL. Good luck with it man, I hope it's a bad-***** Jeep and you get it for a good price!!!

Heard that man !!!! Thanks for the tips. Will let y'all know tomorrow, CUZ I JUST SOLD MY TRUCK!!! Gonna go check out the truck tomorrow after work

WOOP WOOP!!! GOT MY JEEPER GUYS!!!! Will be uploading tons of pics soon!!! I made out like a bandit on this one. Only paid $1650 for it too!!! SO STOKED!!!

Oh ya, someone talk to me about this select trac system and the 2.8L v-6???? Didn't know they had a "v" engine...anyways, I bought it

Congrats on the Jeep man! Excited to see pics up!

Alright y'all, here are some pics of the new ride. Needs some seat cleaning, other than that, this rig is clean clean clean!!!

Nice and congrats on the jeep! It looks like its in very great shape minus the stains. I've heard that it's an easy fix. Anyways cheers!

Got my transmission serviced, new oil and filter. Added a qt of Lucas too, noticed it shifting pretty hard from 1-2, don't know of its normal or not, but hoping it will help.

To do:

- fix the 4wd
- fix the drivers door (wife broke yesterday)
- fix p/s cooler leak at hoses
- fix oil leak on front diff cover. Gonna see about building me some diff armor while I have it all apart.

ahh its a 2.8 good luck i run away from that motor personally... pretty rare to see a chief around... with all the decals with a factory tire carrier looks good

Ya, I did a lil research after I bought it...115hp...pretty crappy. Maybe someday it'll get a 4.0 swap

believe it not a chevy 350 its a better bolt in...

Ha, well, maybe someday. For now, I'm gonna stick with the nice fuel mileage this thing has. If/when I buy another jeep for a dd, I might look into a 5.0 or 5.7 swap. This is gonna be my dd/light trail rig for a food while, just had a kid, so kinda outta money...

Haven't been on in a while... Nice looking jeep bro!

Hey thanks man. Its only gonna get better looking forward to gettin it lifted and gettin some tires. For now I'm stuck fixin oil leaks...
