I have an opportunity to buy a 98 Wrangler Sport. 4.0l, auto, cold
air, soft top, sport wheels, good condition. 8/97 build. Only isues
are mileage (118,000), with 90,000 in last four years and check engine
light on.

Price is $6500. Please advise if I should take the plunge.

Seller has agreed to allow my mechanic to check. I am handy and can
fix most minor things.

I think that's a very good price, even with the check engine light on.

You'll need to replace the radiator and the exhaust manifold unless they've
already been replaced.
They are the junk parts on these jeeps. Get an all metal radiator, $200. The
new improved type manifold at Autozone is also about $200. And it's not too
hard to change.

Good luck with your decision.

Sounds like a decent deal. Have a mechanic check it and tell you why the
light is on or pull the codes yourself.
