I mention in the post about oil grade that I just had gotten an experienced Cherokee, but did not provide details as I needed a quick response about the oil.
So here goes. The wife went to a GSA auction and got a 1997 SE with 27,000 miles for $6,000. (Hence, the thanks to tax payers, it is common to find cars at GSA auctions that have been used less than 4000 mi/year.) It has cruise control and power mirrors, but as far as I can tell it does not have any other upgrades. The auction was about 250 miles from home, so she took it to a shop to get the oil changed and fluids checked before the trip home. Unfortunately one of the tires blew on the interstate, no damage just an inconvience, waiting for AAA to come for an assist.
We primarily selected the Cherokee to help with winter travel, not for off road potential.
I have STUDIED several impressive web pages about the Cherokee, e.g. go-jeep and Dino. I'm looking forward to adding some of the "refinements" to the Cherokee over the years. These will focus on improving road manners.
Thanks to all for the responses to my previous two posts.
