Hi guys, I've been looking for a cherokee to get for a while, I found one close by, I have a 2003 Buick lesabre with 32000 miles on it and I found a jeep to trade for is a 1998 cherokee 2 door, 5 spd, 4x4 straight 6 with 139000 miles on it I was wondering if this is worth trading I haven't found a cherokee with lower miles in my area what do you guys think?

 

Obviously a cherokeeforum is going to recommend getting the cherokee. It's your call not anyone else's.

 

Do you think the milage is good for the trade?

 

I'd never get a Buick in the first place if that tells you anything. Lol

 

My grandfather gave it to me with 27000 miles on it a year ago

 

I wouldn't get a 2 door. 139k miles isn't a lot. I'd value the Cherokee at ~3k. (in my area, at least).

 

I think if he gave you some cash on top of it then it might be a good deal. That's incredibly low mileage and the car's only 11 years old. I'm sure $$ wise it's worth more than the XJ. But, the driving experience of the XJ will make up for the lost $$.

 

That's not to bad i would def look more Into it. I have a 97 2 door 5 speed bought last year with 145000 miles.....I love it wheel it a lot haven't had any problems out of it.

 

Hmm... If the Buick's that low mileage, you can probably get the guy to send a little cash your way too.

However, a 2 door, 5 speed, 4WD '98 is the holy grail of XJs... So either way I'd do it.
That's a setup you won't come by again for a fairly long time, most likely.

 

I just wish the cherokee came stock but I'll end up replaceing some stuff and adding more, I believe in the built not bought saying
