KL9 F4i Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 I finally got a truck. Black 05 Ranger with 39K 5 spd V6. It is everything I want / needed. My main focus was gas b/c my jeep was killing me and as long as the bike fits in the bed I'm happy and it looks like it will (tailgate down). So now I have 2 cars sitting in my driveway and I need to get rid of the jeep for some money $ for bike mods It is a 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee V6 4x4 so what do you guys think would be my best route? Try to sell the jeep or just scrap it or part it out?. It isn't in the greatest condition (busted back fender, split front fender+ a big dent on front ride quarter panel, probably needs an oil change.) However, interior is in pretty decent shape. Any opinions help especially those of you who might know a little more about this type of thing than me and have some experience. Trying to get the best bang for my buck!

jporter12 Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 what engine is in it? how many miles?I'm guessing a 4.0L INLINE 6.He said a V-6. I've never seen that in a GRAND Cherokee of that age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentracer Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 (edited) a V6 in a jeep cherokee? I thought they were all inline 6. ^ oops didn't see your post already stating that. doh!bring it down to cincinnati auto sales on the corner of grand and westwood ave. my friend owns the lot and might buy it if it's not too bad of shape.or you could take it to west harrison auto auction wednesdays or saturdays. wed auctions start around 6 show up a little early to get it in and paperwork done etc.I don't know what time they start on sat.

Some of the 80's Cherokee's had a GM 2.8 (V6) in them, if I remember right (too lazy to look) but not in the Grand Cherokee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chevysoldier Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 There are some die hard jeep people out there. You shouldn't have too much trouble selling it, as long as you ask a reasonable price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
