Does not seem unreasonable. Looks nice. Make sure it's not a salvage. Offer $4500.

low pinion d30
coil packs
0331 head prone to cracking
exhaust manifold prone to cracking

those are reasons enough right there that i wouldn't buy that year. especially for anything more than 3k.

if the engine and everything are good how much do you think that repair will be on the back right?

With ebay parts it would cost a little over $200 (not including shipping) to get that rear end fixed up. Price seems a little high for the year and the condition of the body. If the mileage is correct then price may be justified. But I'm with caged, wouldn't buy this year model. LP dana 30 has weaker gears and the exhaust and head cracking issues.

If you want to spend that kind of money with low miles you should get this 1996 Cherokee Country with 58k

Compared to around here, with that mileage, that's a pretty good price.

KBB on that jeep is around 4500... offer 3800 to start, pointing out that the damage to the right side and the front of the jeep. If they get weird point out the fact that the cylinder head and exhaust manifold is prone to cracking. But yeah I would go and offer on it if I had the cash and was closer.
