Super nice example of the early Cherokee. Remember, back in the day, this was widely regarded by magazines like Car and Driver, who thought it was superior over it’s competition, the Chevy S10 Blazer and Ford Bronco II. Especially nice to see a stock one as so many people have thrashed these by lifting them and outright abusing them off road. Great buy!
Beautiful car, wretched engine. Buy a slightly new one with the 4.0, and not one of the 2.8 v6 ones.
