    I own a Jeep and that had me laughing all the way through!! The guy knows how to market, and I expect it'll sell pretty quick. At 220K miles it's probably just about broken in good....

    I feel like paypal'ing that guy a few bucks just to cover the entertainment I got reading his ad.

    My daughter in Oakland CA is looking for a car and this made me think I should recommend a Jeep to her. She's very hands-on mechanical.

    The Jeep XJ (Cherokee), made from '84 to 2001 (minor styling changes in '97) is an excellent choice for a daily driver. They're rugged, pretty simple to work on, and with the right tires (like BFG's) will go just about anywhere. If you can find one of the later models with relatively low miles it's a great find. The inline 6's run forever, and if they do go bad they're readily available in the aftermarket and easy to swap. One of the best Jeeps made for a regular road vehicle.

    Enid is just 50 miles from my hometown. Maybe I should respond to the ad and see if we're related. Sounds like he'd be great fun to have at the family reunion!

    Roger, thanks for that rundown in your last post above. I cut & pasted it into an email to my daughter and told her it's from a reliable source so she should consider this as a good option.

    It's not on FB, it's on CraigsList! Just click the link in the first post of this thread. It has no tie to FaceBook.

    Strange. You're going to have to explain how you can click a link that's http://enid.craigslist.org...... and end up in FaceBook. When I click the link it opens right up to the Enid, OK ad, very well done, for a Jeep Cherokee, here - http://enid.craigslist.org/cto/41192...html%3C/div%3E
