Everyone,
I purchased a 1992 Cherokee Sport 2-Door from a co-worker this past winter.
I purchased my stead for $800 with an additional $140 for DMV fees and $250 for insurance (6 month policy as second car) and about $60 to do the transmission lines/fittings. So I spent a whole $1,250 on this beast so far.
I was rather happy having a JEEP in the driveway for weekend cruising but now I am thinking it will be my DD in the near future. I wanted to sell my other car (1998 Camaro RS) and either fix this one up or buy a "newer" XJ to fix up with the profits from the Camaro.
What should I do? Fix or Buy Newer?
My current XJ is in great mechanical condition other than having 240,000 miles on it. There is only a couple rusty spots on the entire body, however, the entire suspension is shot. I get rear spring twist on acceleration and heavy bumps, it is noisy and harsh. It has crappo tires/rims on it (factory rims with all the little holes in them, yuck). I definitely need tires/suspension by winter 2008.
Thank you everyone,
-Danny
