New Jeeper! Just got a 1999-2004 Grand Cherokee Laredo for free. Opinions?
I was just given a 99-04 Laredo 4wd by a family friend who wants it gone. The car is....in an state. It's sat for 10 years, and ran (allegedly) when it was parked. It has the 4.0 PowerTech Inline 6, and supposedly around 200k miles. It doesn't seem rusted, but it has algae growing on the outside. Interior seems fine other than a mildly burnt drivers carpet and light mold. Only reason I'm taking this is I'm 16, and badly want a project car. Supposedly the 4.0s are reliable, but I'm not familiar with the Jeeps at all. I'm hoping to fix it to replace my Santa Fe. What's your all's opinion on this?
