It's a jeep. 'nuff said. I have two jeeps, an 80 cj and a 93 yj wrangler. They've both served me well. The YJ has survived more beatings than many prisoners out in the middle east. It's been through hell without any major breakage(lots o dentage), and it's stock.

The 4.0/auto combo is a durable drivetrain. If it's been properly maintained, it should serve you well.

What about the price? Seems decent but I really don't know what they are going for.

It's hard to go wrong with a Cherokee/Comanche with the 4.0L/AW4 combo.
Prices vary a lot for 4wd vehicles, depending on the demand in your area. Check out Ebay for national prices; it looks like they're in the $1600-$1700 range there, so $1200 would be a nice price compared to the average. For a less common vehicle like the Comanche, it's a little better to find what the "right" price is. $1200 certainly sounds like a good one on your end. |

The 4.0 runs forever. However the manual trans for that year is the week link. I don't know anything about that year automatic. With a little money you can build them into a very good off road truck. I have owned a 87 Comanchee and a 90 Cherokee. Both were built for 4 wheeling. Still have the 90.
Take a look at www.rubiconexpress.com for what can be done to them. Check the air filter box. If the piston rings are worn the motor will blow a lot of oil into the air filter through the valve cover vent. |

I can't remember if that year had the crappy pugeot french piece of shit tranny. You should be good to go with the AW4. My CJ has a tf-727 in it. It's a bullet proof tranny that I would suggest to anyone that does any degree of heavy jeep usage. |

Just remember, Jeeps are like guns.....You always have to tinker or add something to them. At least, that's how it is for me. |
