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
obtain as many opinions as possible on this.

Re: Is this Jeep worth it?
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.

Yes, it's worth $1000. Although anything can break on a car with that many
miles on it, there's no reason to expect a major catastrophic failure.

Re: Is this Jeep worth it?
Properly maintained they 5.2 liter (318 cid) engines will last a very long
time.
What do you plan to do with it?
We are assuming it is a Grand Cherokee (ZJ)
