does this seem too cheap? from a small dealer $3999 for a  1997 jeep cherokee sport 4x4 75k miles, auto trans (i wish it was a manual trans).

is there really such a thing as too cheap?  maybe it's sat on the lot for a bit and they just want to get rid of it. give it a good looking over engine wise. take it for a test drive and beat the hell out of it. i try to blow the engine in all the cars i test drive. if it cant handle the ten or so mins of abuse i put it under, i don't want it anyhow.

I found out why....reconstructed title.....damn

[jserio]

well, that could be for any number of reasons i guess. most likely it was wrecked i'm assuming? or did they say?

I decided that it might end up costing me more than it's worth. I think they actually get better MPG than a jeep, but I think a jeep might be more reliable and parts will be easier to get and cheaper.

kk, mught be worth looking into, cause kbb dot  com has it at or aroud 6k

6k with a clean title and reasonable mileage.  See if you can get em to take 3k even for it.  Those engines CAN be flaky, especially if a PO didn't take care of it.
