$500
Country trim package, 4-door, blue exterior with grey interior, PS/PB, cruise, power
windows, 167,000 miles, budget boost (front spring spacer, rear add-a-leaf)
The Good:
- 4.0 engine
- AW4 automatic transmission
- NP242 (replaced with a rebuilt unit ~5 years ago) with Tom Woods SYE and
rear driveshaft
- Radiator, Cat, both O2 sensors, and starter less than 2 years old
- Alternator less than 1 year old
- Fog lights and headlight brightener installed
The Bad:
- Rust: front floorboards rotted out, some rocker panel rust, rust spot at the top of the
driver's side A-pillar
- cracked exhaust manifold
- no power to the overhead console (it's all there, it just quit working)
- front parking lights and driver's side turn signal not working (probably a corroded
connector)
- on a warm re-start, the engine will stumble - punch it once and it smooths right out
until the next warm re-start
- driver's side rear door button pushed all the way in and dropped inside the door
- AC doesn't work
- 4WD dash lights indicate 'full-time' when in 2WD, 'part-time' when in any 4WD selction
(I never did get the right switch when I replaced the transfer case)
The Ugly:
- various nicks, chips and scratches (about what you would expect for a 14 year old car)
- paint/clear-coat on the hood has oxidized
- silver "lace" wheels clear-coat oxidized
- Bridgestone 30x9.50 Dueler AT REVO tires (will need replacing soon)
I don't have the time or space to mess with it, so I bought a newer Cherokee as a DD.
