If it runs and drives good, give him the 2300. You will have a great rig that will last you a long time.

Atmos

Scotty16

Yeah my old 99 def had more get up and go.... It had the same heads as the 97-98 but had the higher flowing intake, it actually makes 10-20 more hp based on independent testing. It felt faster on the top end(and was) then my 99, but the same low end torque.

1999 is the best year, hands down.

Atmos

if you can put up with that domesticated new body style that is

iluvmud

lol actually love the body style!!

I'll be looking at it tomorrow and have my mechanic buddy take a peek at it.... now to get that AC fixed...

Hey run my Jeep into yours, mine will come out on top everytime.... You and your passenger will need face transplants due to no airbags and you don't have side impact cross members in the doors for protection and your unibody is not as stiff as mine... I have 29 spline 8.25 and a ****ty chrylser interior/electronics that always go wrong(only con of newer design)

Atmos

easy buddy. I said body style. I dont like the rounded off looks. but you're right I dont have air bags, or run sway bars, or steering dampeners, or power anything, but I do have a 31 spline 8.8 with chromos and a detroit out back and a wicked steel bumper so you can try running into me if you want

iluvmud

well eff this!!!! So this chode has been screwing around with me on looking at the jeep for 3 days now... he told me Sat when we were supposed to meet that Monday evening would be best... so i call him and say "hey im on my way, when i get there and we drive it around I want to take it to my buddy's mech shop and have him give it a quick inspection to see if everything is ok..." guy says he isnt doing that. so at this point forget it now the hunt begins again for another jeep.

Well its sill his vehicle bud you should have had your mech friend go with you. Missing out on a good jeep to be stubborn? Use your good judgement. If it was clean and ran fine I dont see a risk in just buying it for $2300. Your not buying a $15k truck here.

I have sold quite a few vehicles In the 1500-2500 range and I've never been open to letting someone take them to a mechanic. Number one, my time is money. I'm not going with you and waiting. Number two, you're not taking the vehicle yourself while I still own it. Number three, it's a 1500-2500 dollar vehicle. It has stuff that's worn. And if your mechanic is worth his salt, he will tell you all about it. That will scare off a ton of buyers that don't understand what a cheap vehicle is.

As a buyer I understand you wanting to have it checked out. But you should also understand that just because he doesn't want to do it doesn't mean it's a bad deal or that he's trying to hide something.

Also keep in mind when buying any vehicle at that price range just because it runs doesnt mean its 100%. I wouldnt buy it and drive it the next day without doing any maintanance first. Change fluids look at the worn parts and replace whats really needed.

Ok, I guess maybe I'm just used to people who are wanting to sell something, when i call him on Friday he was fine with meeting on sat. Then sat. he tells me he cant and that we need to meet on Monday at any time in the afternoon..... so then i tell him ill be heading out soon and he tells me that i need to hurry cause he doesnt have time and he wants to hang out with his GF.... The mechanic thing wasnt that big an issue to me but it was just really a "are you serious" thing in my mind that he wants to sell something but is making no time to do so at all, nor really even try to communicate with me.

I understand what you guys are saying about it not being 100% but still.... Maybe it's just the salesman in me.
