FS:

1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee. 302,xxx miles and very clean interior, with a good CD/mp3 player. Has the full-time 4WD (AWD) system. Has the heavy duty tow package and all the accessories, rated to tow 5000lbs.

4.0 I6, Rebuilt trans in great shape, rebuilt transfer case, newer battery, altenator, radiator, belt, brakes, starter. Brand new plugs/cap/rotor/wires.

Bad: Mild hood damage, needs new tires, will probably need a new passenger side CV joint in the near future (cost 67.00 bucks from autozone) as the boot is torn...still works great for now. ABS no longer works...needs either a new sensor on the driver side rear, or possibly just new wiring to that sensor. There appears to be a slow leak for the AC, I've just been recharging it as needed...works great when charged.

This is the infamous "Winter Drags Champion". It's a great running jeep, and has been utterly reliable from mile number "1" when my parents bought it brand new. Since it still runs, shifts, and drives great, I've been planning on keeping it as a winter beater since it's my DD now and will soon be getting a new car...I've changed my mind as there is a hassle with space at my house. There is no better beater for the money.

EDIT:I should also point out that it passes emissions beautifully, has a newer catalyst and newer tailpipe too.

Price: $1800 FIRM.

If interested, please PM me.

Nothing yet yoos :(

The list is in order of preference:
(tie) 1998+ Camaro/Trans Am LS1 w/ 6 speed or 2000-2002 Ford Mustang GT, 5 speed (not newer for price reasons)
1999-2002 Mazda MX-5
Toyota Celica GTS (six speed)
Mitsubishi Eclipse (3rd gen)/Dodge Stratus coupe w/ v-6 and 5 speed
Dodge Stratus 4 door R/T w/ 5 speed
Jeep Wrangler/Jeep Cherokee

Others considered but not too seriously: Pontiac GTO, Dodge Magnum/Charger, Audi A4, VW Jetta TDI/VR6/1.8T (in that order), and 2000-ish BMW 3 and 5 series.

And NO, whatever I buy WILL NOT be modded :goof

I would scratch the 3rd Gen Eclipse off your list. They have a LOT of issues and are generally quite boring cars. Replace that with a 98-99 GSX and you are in business!

:thumbsup

I would say 01-02 for those. Better intake+exhaust manifolds and a bunch of other goodies.

Well, I am not exactly looking for excitement though...I stracthed the GSX due to the complexity and that most are modded in some way and just wanted to avoid that pandora's box. I mean, I don't know ANYONE that has a GSX that's been reliable.

3rd gens aren't too high on the list anyways...my friend had a stratus and you are right, it's a boring car. But they are pretty reasonably priced in the used car market, decent looking, nice grand touring cars that are reasonably quick with a 5 speed...

I'll probably end up with a cherokee though...I've got a few more mustangs I want to drive yet, and if I come around any reasonably priced F-bods as well (unfortunately most are priced quite high :( )
