buying a 95 JGC this weekend-need advice.
 

Unless the dealer tries to pull a fast one on me at
the last minute, chances are I'm getting a 95 JGC
Laredo this weekend. Vehicle has 150k km on it,
fully loaded with leather seats, tow kit etc

Besides a regular (thanks again) for pointing out the
possible AC troubles and to look for signs of water
damage on the driver's side floor, any other suggestions,
recommendations or advice to offer?

I know these vehicles are considered gas guzzlers, and it
would be more economical to get a European car, but
I can't explain it, I have my mind set on a Jeep.
How many liters/gallons does the gas tank hold? and how much
mileage (highway and city) should I expect from it per tank?

thx again for all your help

The '95 JGC has a 23 gal fuel tank. Edmunds rates the I-6 with auto
at 15mpg city/20 mpg country. Our '93 was rated at 14/18 on the
sticker. We consistently get 20 mpg on the road.

After it is good and warm, check the low range and 4wd
just to make sure they are working and noise free. If
the I-6, an aftermarket exhaust manifold is good news
as it means it was already replaced. Check the A/C
condensor for rust or a recent repaint to hide rust.
With the engine not running, see what the serpentine
belt looks like.

Fuel tank is 23 gallons or 87.4 liters. The I-6 runs
about 14-15 mpg in town and 19-21 on the highway, the V8
is just a tad less.

How noise free can the transfer box be?.. the user handbook suggests that
there will be a 'working noise'.. not quite sure how loud a 'working noise'
