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

If it so good, why is he selling it?

jeeps were so reliable they came with a light under the bonnet ....

Don't forget to buy a couple of big fire extinguishers.

Their slogan is "Theres only one Jeep" you may have just found it lol

i would presume that this bloke has had a gutful of it,,why would someone put all those new bits on it only to sell it,,in all honesty when i see a car with new this and new that,i tells me a story.......

Also my son bought a GU ute that had the itemised receipt for an engine rebuild only to find out a thousand Kay's later that it was a shonk receipt and the motor blew up .

wasa it you guys who bought it from a mechanic..someone here mentioned something simular not long ago...that's suck big time

Nah but the guy he bought it off was mates with a mechanic where the motor was supposedly rebuilt .

G'day mate.
A good mate of mine had 1 for around 3 years.
The most fuel guzzling engine ive ever known of.
Constantly had all types of problems with it too.
Looks like most of the problems have already been fixed in the 1 you're looking at though,but im sure they'll reappear at some stage.
Just my opinion but I'd stay clear of it.
Have a good one...deano!
