The Second Cherokee's the Charm??
Ive been looking for a decent cherokee now for a couple months, low miles, great shape for the right price. Ideally been looking for a 97-99 but came across this 2000.

In new england its hard to find a rust free vehicle which this one is rust free. Talked the guy down to $3600. Everything seems to be fine from te questions i asked him Mechanically wise. Only thing im worried about is the cracked head issues, and just dont want to waste the 4.5 hour drive there to realize it has a cracked head though ive asked him questions and theres no milky substance in radiator cap heat works keeps a good oil pressure and he claims it doesnt leak coolant. Just looking out and see if anyone has input on if its a good deal or not and if anyone has thier .02 to look for?

no ones a mind reader
my advice is, if you even have one single doubt just let that one go
if it's got no leaks or rust everything else should be fine at only 75k

just because it has the 0331 head, doesn't mean it's cracked or will crack.
they are only prone to cracking if overheated. so as long as the cooling system wasn't neglected, you should be fine.
just check the floor and leaf spring mounts for rust/rot.
it looks good from here.
