Ok so i am looking at a 95 GC LTD and this is what i know
"The Jeep had regular oil changes. Other recent work includes both front wheel CV joints replaced last August. The front drive shaft was replaced with a u-joint type about 2-1/2 years ago. The transmission and differential were overhauled at around 100,000 miles.
The only other possible maintenance problem is that the engine does use some oil. I have to put a qt in every 1 to 2,000 mi.
The oil usage is mainly from burning. I use regular 10W30 oil. As far as I know there is nothing seriously wrong with the Jeep. Of course it does have 166,000 miles on him. We bought it used at about 20,000 miles. The Jeep has mainly been used driving to work or vacation, with a couple of off road trips a year. Even though the jeep has the tow package, we have never pulled a trailer with it.
(i asked if he thought it would pass emmisions... or if this thing would just blow up while i was driving it back to OHIO)
About your other question, Illinois doesn't have any periodic emission tests. Also, I wouldn't be worried about the engine blowing up, I imagine the problem is the piston rings are getting a little worn.
Yes, the transmission is full time 4X4. (I believe it is called Quadratrac). The Jeep also has the VIC, auto dim mirror, and full size spare. The jeep does not have an overhead console because of the sun roof, however it does have the overhead computer that shows direction, outside temp, miles/per gallon, etc. Also, included (as mentioned in the initial ad)is a set of five offroad tires and steel wheels.
Also, it does have heated mirrors. They are on the same switch as the rear window heater. I am not sure what you mean by the digital temp. It does show the outsite temp on the overhead readout. The inside temp is dialed in, and the computer decides weather to use heat or ac, and fan speed and where to direct the air. I haven't tried the ac this spring as I haven't been driving the jeep."
Here is what the jeep looks like
the guy was asking for $4k, but said he would take $3800, which includes the extra full set of tires/rims.
my big question, is if this is worth it? right now i have an I6 95 ZJ, and i luv her. i think it's the chance that i coudl afford a V8 sorta has my attn more than it should.
in anycase i would appriciate it greatly, if anyone here could give me their input about if this seems ok, if i need to ask anything else, or if am i wasting my time?
thank you in advance
