Re: need help buying used 99 - 01 XJ
Brain, you're not blaming any part of that on the bleed heart liberals?
Like the Democrats taking moneys form China for their "favored nation"
status, and "free trade" agreement, so you may buy tennis shoe made by
slave labor at a cheap price, but of course you don't have a job now to
pay for them.

John, where do you live? I got a 2000 Sport last year for $14,000 but
it did have 84,000km on it. I've seen a couple for sale in my area
(Belleville, Ont.) I can forward some numbers if you aren't too far away.

Re: need help buying used 99 - 01 XJ
I just took a Jeep out with Select -Trac and I couldn't figure out what the
4wd part-time setting was for. In 2wd the rear wheels spun, In 4WD
part-time it did the same thing, and then in 4wd Full-Time, the 4wd actually
engaged with no spin. So what does the Part-time option do? There is also
some rust bubbling on the ends of the window belt mouldings which I thought
was strange for a 2000 GC. The rear window wiper was inop also and the
dealer said that was a "normal" problem. I originally was looking for a
normal cherokee but this dealer had a GC limited for $22,000 and it has
60,000 km on it. I figured for the extra $5,000 I'd go for the 4.7l and
Dana 44. It also has the tow package and sunroof as well as all the other
interior appointments. Has anyone else seen these issues with the mouldings
or the rear wiper before?

Re: need help buying used 99 - 01 XJ
Thanks Mort,
I actually think I found one today. I'm bringing it to my mechanic tomorrow
morning. It ended up not even being a cherokee that I chose, I spent an
extra $5000 and went for a GC. It seems to be pretty nice and defenitely at
the low end of the price scale compared to others I've seen. It only has
60,000km and is fully loaded with the 4.7l and dana 44. I figure its an
okay price for $22,000. What really shocked me was that insurance on the
Cherokee "Sport" was about $200 more a year than the GC Limited. I thought
for sure it would be the other way around.
If I find something real bad with this Jeep tomorrow though I might still be
in the hunt so thanks for the offer.

I actually think I found one today. I'm bringing it to my mechanic tomorrow
morning. It ended up not even being a cherokee that I chose, I spent an
extra $5000 and went for a GC. It seems to be pretty nice and defenitely at
the low end of the price scale compared to others I've seen. It only has
60,000km and is fully loaded with the 4.7l and dana 44. I figure its an

Re: need help buying used 99 - 01 XJ
Thanks Mort,
I actually think I found one today. I'm bringing it to my mechanic tomorrow
morning. It ended up not even being a cherokee that I chose, I spent an
extra $5000 and went for a GC. It seems to be pretty nice and defenitely at
the low end of the price scale compared to others I've seen. It only has
60,000km and is fully loaded with the 4.7l and dana 44. I figure its an
okay price for $22,000. What really shocked me was that insurance on the
Cherokee "Sport" was about $200 more a year than the GC Limited. I thought
for sure it would be the other way around.
If I find something real bad with this Jeep tomorrow though I might still be
in the hunt so thanks for the offer.
