Looking to buy my first jeep, used.
I have found 2, a 97 Sport, 4.0l, AC, soft top with 68k miles, dealer wants 10.5k for it (Dodge/Jeep dealer). I test drove it and seemed tight, steering and manual tranny. Tops in decent shape drivers window and passenger back plastic is cracked.
The other one is a 99 SE, 67k miles, 2.4l, hardtop, towing package. I will be driving that one tomorrow. It appears in good shape. Dealer wants 8995 for it (non dodge)
Prices seem in line with the NADA and Kelly. Any plus/minuses with either ?
I like the 4.0 over the 2.4, but the hardtop is nice with full doors. Anything in particular to check and watch for ?
Any suggestions or opinions ?
