You can still find good Jeep Cherokee Sports on eBay, but as the supply gets smaller the prices are getting higher. They are appreciating in price. Mine is a 98' Sport with fuel injection, it gets an honest 20.1 mpg on the open highway and has over 200K on it. If at all possible, get a fuel injection one...they are so much easier to start than the older carb ones.

This one has caught my eye on eBay.. I'd go 5k and maybe even a bit more on it presuming that a car fax report came back ok. Real low milage, that engine has 200k left on it easy. Drivers seat is not torn on the door side (a common event) Upholstery looks in good condition. And it's not that far from you. If I were in the market for a Cherokee I'd DEFINITELY give this one a look/see. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Jeep-Cheroke...US_Cars_Trucks

Fuel injection has been standard equipment on ALL 4.0L's, and ALL CHEROKEES since 87(the 2.5L 4 banger got it in 85 or 86). Carbs pretty well went away in the 80's for most all CHRYSLER products with the WRANGLER being one of the last holdouts due to the 4.2L engine, but starting in 91 they were ALL injected. GRANDS still have that POS torqueflite derivitive tranny in them(unless you can luck out and find an EARLY built 93 GRAND with an AW4), and is the sole reason I wouldn't own one. STarting in 99 you could get the 4.7L V8 though that used a pretty good trans, the 45RFE(later became known as the 545RFE when they added an extra OD, and a software update is available to add 5th to the earlier models).
