Take a look at this Jeep Comanche and tell me if you think it is worth $1200? I talked to the owner (older gentleman) and was assured it needs a transmission (5 spd Manual) and it was only in a minor fender bender. Hence the new fenders and hood. Assuming that the damage did not go past cosmetic, and the trans can be fixed reasonably. Is this a good price? The truck looks to be in good shape otherwise and he is original owner. But I have wanted one of these for a long time and my judgement could be clouded. Help!

as with all things Jeep, there is a pretty good aftermaryet for these. But as we all know if you buy a good jeep you should also buy some good tools, because you will be working on it....but all of that considered...yes, this is a good price.

I’ve never driven one, or know too much about them, but I’ve always thought these were badass.

I had one as a work truck a long time ago. It was a good truck. In fact, the company owner took it from me for his personal use.

$2100 with a bad trans? No.
$1200? Maybe. $900 Absolutely.
I had a 2wd, 4.0, 5speed that was really fun. And surprisingly capable off road.

Typo. $1200 is what he meant. I was thinking of $900 offer and $950 buy.

Ha Ha! I hear ya. I already have the tools and the space. But even more better, I have a friend who has had 5 or 6 Cherokees mostly in the early to mid 90’s and knows them well.

You’re in good shape in the 950-1000 range.
Swap out the trans and get ready to Just Empty Every Pocket!

I’m already doing that with my F-150 4X4, gas wise. My jeep friend has had quite a few of the similar Cherokee models and they have been bullet proof with very little maintenance cost.
What do you know that I should know?

Not much. They’re great rigs overall. Gas mileage isn’t impressive but I’m sure it’s better than the F150.
Mine suffered a complete electrical system meltdown. If it weren’t for that I’d probably still have it.
