Looking to replace my 96. There's a 98 here local. Here's the deal...
It's a 98, 134k miles, second owner, auto with ABS (yes I know ABS is ghey)
Issues it has...
Driver side window (power) is off of the track, motor works but doesn't go back up.
ABS light is on, the guy thinks the rotors need to be turned...?
Missing front right fender flare/bumper end cap.
Jeep has been sitting since June and developed a slight tranny leak (was a small puddle under the car, probably a cumulative 50 drops or so if I had to guess, wasn't a huge puddle.
I also noticed a little bit of an oil drip after we took it for a test drive, appeared to be coming from the rear of the engine block, rear main seal i'm guessing? I couldn't get down all the way as it was wet and dirty on the pavement and I was in my nice pants!
Cracked windshield, two cracks that go almost all the way across the windshield.
And I noticed the exhaust manifold is starting to crack right above the spacer where it meets the downpipe.
Typical rear struts only keep the hatch open when it's warm.
Paint is still in pretty good condish minus being a purpleish color.
The guy was asking $2200 to start, I asked him his lowest cash in hand, he said $1900 this week.
The seller just sent my wife a text saying "I know the Jeep has quite a few issues, so shoot me an offer"
I need some insight here please. What should we offer?
What we plan to do to the Jeep eventually: Turn it into a mild wheeler. A rig we can take on old forest trails, up the mountain, camping, road trips etc. So nothing major. Mild lift, 31"s etc.
