    Jeep Cherokee Question

    Looking at buying a 6cyl 4.0L 2000 Jeep Cherokee for $7500 with 245,000KM clocked on it but the previous owner overhauled the engine 40,000KM ago, i read that Jeep Cherokees are really reliable if maintained well and so on and the current owner claims to be a mechanic and that he has looked after the car very well. He sent me a list of modifications done to the car and engine also pictures of the car as well which is listed below;

    might pay to go to a Jeep forum for answers as they would have a better idea or just buy a Patrol.

    Only thing I know about Jeeps is what I observed in my rear view mirrors IE they get smaller the further behind me they are...

    I believe they came new with a free Pressure Washer so you could wash the oil off your drive each week but not sure

    I would suggest join this Forum for your Jeep Q's Cobber http://www.ausjeepoffroad.com/forum/index.php

    Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

    If it so good, why is he selling it?
    My advice is: not to follow my advice.
