Alright I'm facing a small dilema, I currently am driving a 99' sport XJ w/108K and it runs like a top. No serious problems. But heres my major malfunction, my father goes to me
"Your uncle Chuck (the same 1 I bought the XJ from 2 yrs ago VGC) is going to be trading in his Grand Cherokee (03,04 w/ give or take 30000K lease) soon maybe you should buy that"
I have a Banks header, Fastman TB, Magnaflow exhaust, waiting to be installed in my XJ. Haven't had the time w/ hunting season and all.
Pros about the XJ: 1) I ALREADY own it, 2) I ALREADY own it,3) no ABS 4) I already have quite a few upgrades done to it (Edelbrock shocks, new water pump, etc.,etc)
Cons about the XJ: 1) ALOT of road noise,2) little things are starting to go wrong,3) small rust spots are starting to show up here and there etc., etc.
4) the ride sucks, even w/the fantastic shocks.
Pros about the Grand: 1) Its about brand new 2) it still has the 4.0 I like so much 3) little more reliable (not that I've had a problem so far) 4) no body rust what so ever 5) I'd get it for a good price (lease buyout)
Cons about the Grand:1) I'd have to have a car payment again 2) I'd have to have a car payment again 3) ABS
I had a couple of truck payments before $250-400 no fun. I bought my XJ for $5500 cash, so for the last couple of years I've had no loan payments at all .
Sorry for the lengthy post but I just got engaged and I am trying to stay occupied till bedtime
Please give me your opinions and sugestions. He is a very meticulous and carefull with his vehicles.
I Know I could use the Fastman TB, but I'm not sure about the header and catback. Any info. on this would be appreciated. Thank You for sticking through my babling like an idiot I am just torn.
