i don't know anything about cars, so does this information sound like it's a good workable car and not just a rip off? the car costs $1950, so does this mean it's a bad car of just that it's cheap?
please help! it's my first car and i'm buying it myself and i just want to know if it's going to last or be a piece of junk and a waste of money.
i fell in love with the car when i saw it.
it's red and from what i can see in the pictures, looks like it's in good conditions, although the information on it says it could use some new tires...
any advice?
 
FIRST year for OBD-II

Oxygen sensors cost $280, where the older ones are $30

189,000 is pretty high for a jeep! And gas isnt going to stay down this low for long! expect to get 14-17 mpg in town with this, and maybe 24 on all highway driving.

Look in craigslist and buy from a Private party
 
Jeeps are money pits, always something going out on them
too many sensors on them bearings going bad
at that mileage its ready for the junk yard

id offer $1000. it will need work with that mileage. you're looking at about $400 for tires and it hard to tell what kind of condition the clutch/pressure plate/flywheel are in at that mileage also that could be upwards of $1000 if the flywheel needs replacing
