Hey guys,
I'll try to keep this brief. I need some Maintanance and repair questions regarding a 1996 jeep Cherokee country with 220,000 miles. This jeep has been owned by 4 people- original owner to 84,000 miles, me till 124,000, and my friend to now at 220,000. It has never been offloaded. Most miles are highway miles.
Wife and I are wanting to cut cost, pay off debt and more more margin in our lives so we are selling out 2013 outback and looking for something that will leave us with no payments.
What mechanical areas would you check on an XJ with this many miles? Any large issues that could pop up?
How much life is left in the jeep?
Esthetic Issues
Needs
new windshield
New headliner - body shop said $300. How easy is this to do yourself and save money?
Biggest concern - seats
Seats are torn - needs seat covers, reupholstered or upgrade to wj or we seats.
We have 3 kids in car seats. Are there bolt on child latch adapters that can be purchased? Do I need to change out rear seat to a newer we or wj?
Any advice on these issues and cost of repair you could send my way will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your help.
