the guy had it for trade for a truck for a while and couldnt get a trade so he bought a truck to haul his quad and now the jeep is an extra vehicle and he needs the money...there is one other guy but i am a head of him in the pecking order so just wanted to see what you guys thought about it...hes asking 3000 but its negotiable

I wouldn't give much more than $2500 for it

Id say 2000 -2500. Its a nice looking jeep.

ajf

what is some of your guys reasoning behind what your saying you would pay for it?

rweaver138

id say not a penny over 2500... reason being is these jeeps are a dime a dozen.. this thing seems to be in pretty decent shape though plus you got the new motor and trans.

ajf

ok thanks I guess where you live there are more..around here there arent alot and they all have high miles (even for a jeep) I cant see spending 4000 on a stock jeep with 200xxx+ miles which is what they are going for around here

where are you from?

I would agree with most of the other posters. Don't go over 2500. It sounds like the jeep has or had an overheating problem. You need to look into this and make sure the head isn't cracked etc. Also how long has it been lifted and what did he use it for? Some drivetrain and suspension parts could have major wear. Also make sure you check for rust in the floorboards and under rockers, seeing that he rhino lined it, he might have rhino lined right over some rust to cover it up. Its alsways iffy buying an already lifted rig. You never know where it has been or what has been done to it and the shortcuts to get it there. Just do your homework and don't rush into it.
And welcome to CF

what makes you think it has had an overheating problem? also you bring up some very good points i checked for rust on the body, frame, and floorboards there was pretty much none and I also checked wear and tear on the whole underside including suspension and lift components and nothing looked very worn or abused...it has been this guys daily driver and he ocasionally took it off road but not regularly and it has only been lifted for a little over a year...the suspension is tight and it rides pretty good for being lifted and the suspension doesnt sag....hope this helps...i was thinkin 2500-2700 he is asking 3000 but said he could neg. a little on it so i was thinkin 2500-2700

Those are the tale tale signs that it had or has the common cherokee overheating problems. Everything else that you checked sounds good. good luck with the potential buy

Looks like time to ditch the add a leaf and get some full leaf packs. deduct that few hundred bucks from the price.

warthog

Maybe i missed it but how do you know it has AAL's

i have to agree with warthog on this one. always a little wary on already modded vehicles, you never know where they cut corners.
and also always wary about a rig thats already been wheeled, you really dont know just how badly they beat the **** out of it. with this one the fact that it has a new motor and trans, and the other problems hes listed, makes it seem like hes beat the hell outta it. so id say you really need to check it out thoroughly, and if its alright id say no more then 2500

ajf

ok thanks
