Actaully, this is the best. I found a '96 Grand Cherokee for $2800.
Needs some body work but has all new fluids, new tranny 30k ago, new engine 60k ago, new Sky Jacker 2" Suspension lift, 33" A/T's, and new wheels....parents said yes. Sorry, I don't own a ford anymore.

My girlfriend owns a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo, it gets the oil changed every 3000 miles, it gets a bath at least once a week, it gets vacuumed out once a week. Never been in a wreck, not a speck of rust on it. A transmission rebuild about five thousand miles ago. And I wouldn't trade 5 of it for my '74 F-250 We tried to sell it awhile back and couldn't get a decent offer so we tried to trade it in, they only wanted to give us $2000.00 trade in.
What I'm trying to say is that I don't believe that a '96 Jeep is worth $2800.00 and its not as good as a '73-'79 Ford 2WD or 4WD.
In my opinion, especially if your buying it to 4 wheel, don't buy the jeep.

Jeep
don't worry guys, I'm gettin the jeep as a fun vehicle. Yes, now I am a 16 year old with two vehicles. No, I am not spoiled. I payed for both with my money from my job.
Actually, that $800 truck needs new shocks, and needs the cab mounts AND bed mounts re-welded. I have taken metals classes and I am taking a college course for my senior year (this year) to get certified for welding. My friend an I are actually thinking about buying it for off-roading and mudding since we have a lot of good area wround here.
So don't worry, nothing can ever take place of a ford.

So much for getting a truck to replace the 10 MPG escape you had GIVEN to you. And now you got another usless SUV that is going to get worse milage than the escape. I thought the idea was to get a TRUCK to be able to haul things? I'm just curious. How does a 16 year old come up w 2800 for a jeep and at least 4-5k for an escape

And not to mention my parents MADE me start saving money when I was young, so I'm smart with it.
