Default cherokee with no keys?

well im in need of a donor cherokee to get mine back on the road adter my transmission and transfer case blew a few weeks ago. and i think ive found one....

heres the ad:
2000 JEEP CHEROKEE 4.0L 6CYL AUTOMATIC 4WD. THIS WOULD BE A MUD TRUCK, HUNTING CAMP TRUCK, OR PROJECT TRUCK, BODY IS STRAIGHT, THE INTERIOR IS RUINED, IT HAS BEEN LEAKING THROUGH SUNROOF AND HEATER CORE. I DON'T HAVE A KEY TO KNOW IF IT IS RUNNING OR NOT, THIS VEHICLE IS A REPO AND IS BEING SOLD AS IS. DON'T CALL AND ASK IF IT IS RUNNING BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW. ALL THE PARTS ARE THERE, NOTHING HAS BEEN REMOVED.
900$



questions....

no keys? what do i do...
will the 2000 tranny bolt up in my 2001?
should i keep looking or is this a good deal.

could likely get youre money back just selling the parts as far as the key just do what the criminals do pop the cylinder or pay for a locksmith. you didnt mention the mileage but if you coiuld get a salvage title maybe you could swap youre interior into that truck, dunno lots of ways you could go on this

the body looks really good.... and its the color i wish i had. if i do get it i night end up gutting it and redoing the whole interior and swapping all of stuff in and on it, motor and all.

might wanna bring a wrench to put on the crank bolt to see if you can spin the motor,
but id say for 900 if you got the dough and a place to park it its a deal

see if they can give you a salvage title or look into that tonite online(getting the title yourself) and see how much of a hassle thats gonna be good luck.

may also wanna call the local police with the vin# and make sure its not stolen
