Is this Jeep worth it?
I'm no automotive expert, but many of you here seem to be, so I'm trying to
obtain as many opinions as possible on this. Is a: 94 Jeep Cherokee Laredo, V8 5.2 200K miles (Overwhelmingly highway-- Bklyn to LI and back daily) No leaks or bad emissions Body/Interior very good condition Original owner Always regularly maintained (oil/tranny fluids, etc.) Never a major repair (engine, tranny) Still performing fine in said capacity above A/C no longer functional Worth $1000? How long, for how many miles can these things last if they're properly maintained? Is it likely the engine or tranny will fall out simply from age/mileage? How many more miles can I expect out of it without a major failure? I only drive about 10K/yr (75% city, 25% highway). I personally know the seller so there's no reason to be skeptical of bad motives in this case. Where would the oil/tranny dipsticks be located if I'm facing the engine? Are there any other tips on what to check/look for? I'm deciding on whether to go check it out. TIA |

That must be a Grand Cherokee or a transplanted engine.
But the price is well worth it. Even if you have to drop a rebuilt engine in in the future, it still is worth it in my opinion.
