1997 Jeep Cherokee Sport - great winter beater - $1700

[DetroitStyle]

SOLD!

I bought this a couple of months ago for $1500. I have it listed on CL for $2,000 obo. For MM'ers, the price is $1700. (I have replaced the waterpump and serpentine belt)

1997 Jeep Cherokee Sport
180,000 miles
4.0 Inline 6
4x4
Automatic

The good:
4x4 works great... 4HI, 4LOW, etc. No problems at all
No leaks
Runs great, drives smooth and quiet
Tires are pretty good (over 50% with an easy 40k left in them)
Newer alternator
Brand new waterpump
Brand new serpentine belt
Heat works great
Seats and cargo area are very clean

The bad:
Rockers are rusty
A/C doesn't blow very cold
Front carpet is dirty
Typical XJ rust hole above the windshield (doesn't leak)

For an extra $175 I will include three nearly mint, rust free doors to swap if you want:

I'm just looking for a slightly nicer XJ for my daily driving.

How is it on gas? Also how's the suspension (i.e. ball joints, tierods, shocks)? I know you said it rides smooth and quiet but how does it do on the highway?

I'm interested in it, I might be needed this depending on if I can get my current clunker fixed (probably won't), will know by the end of the weekend.

It does ride and drive smooth. The suspension is stock and it's a bit on the loose side. There is play in the steering, but I suppose that's to be expected on a bone stock 180k mile vehicle. I would suspect that everything underneath is original.

As long as it's not falling apart that's all I care :lol:. My car is cranking over (before it sounded like it seized up). I'll probably let you know by the end of the day if mine is worth fixing or not.

 

[white1995gt]

My car is toast. Now the only issue is the finances. I'll know probably on monday but if you get an offer in the meantime don't hesitate to sell.

You got a pm

FYI: I started doing some work on it. I pulled off the old faded side "Sport" moldings and the fender flares. I repainted the flares black with fender/trim paint. They are drying right now. Going to reinstall the flares, but not the door moldings. It looks better without them. I also sprayed black bedliner on the bottom half of the driver's side doors. It's in the garage drying now. I was planning on doing the passenger side today, but well... rain....

:wavey: Enjoy it. I'm actually a little sad to see it go. I wanted to build it up. I will get another one soon enough..
