    Need opinions

    My brother is trying to buy a 1996 Jeep Cherokee Sport from a guy he knows. Its sitting at a sunoco in Fox chapel. It looks really good outside, no visible rust, no paint chips or scratches. The guy said he might sell it, he said he wants to try and fix it up for his daughter. The only bad thing is that it needs a new transfer case and who knows what else. I think it would be a great buy. Decent tires, electric windows and power locks.

    Miles? Did you look under the rear drivers seat for rust? Look above the cat for rust? Sure it is the transfer case? Waht is he asking for it?

    T-case you can find dirt cheap if you know where to look and hell all other parts are mainly a dime a dozen as well.............

    Did he give you any idea as to what price he would want? Also, even a used transfer case isn't cheap. I would guess a couple of hundred dollars at a yard. Why not look on craigslist and see what you can find?

    also, there is a tranny/transfer combo on CL too for 350.

    the location is a wealthy area, most of the cars there for sale are well maintanied. the trend i see at sunco is......someoen drops there car off for service, they they decided its too expensive or better off selling it. Sunco takes it off their hands, fixes the problem and sells it. there are always cars for sell there. usually unique ones too. i say take it for a test ride and go for it. ill be down that way today, ill take a look.
