My wife's, actually. We've just got her a newer Range Rover and her beloved old Cherokee is for sale.
The basics: '91 4.0 Auto four-door, 196-ish k on the clock, slightly bent front passenger fender and bumper (driveable as is, she's driven it like that for years including several trips across the country), couple of small dents in the rear bumper. Overall pretty good condition, a little surface rust underneath and a little rust in the rocker panels. Good oil pressure, a/c works, temperature gauge sits where it's supposed to be. Cloth interior. It spent most of its time in the Southwest apart from a few years in Florida and Iowa.
We've got maintenance records coming out of our ears for it, recent work included rear brakes last autumn, water pump and some other work in that area, regular oil changes etc etc. I did the front brakes a couple of years and probably 10k ago and it's had a lot of preventative maintenance in the last five years. She's had the car since 1997 and we have maintenance history probably going back for most of that time. Also comes with a Burning Man sticker so you can pretend you went there and don't remember it .
As it sits, with 2 winters old snow tires, $1500 to a GRMer. We also have a set of Bridgestone 3-season tires for it that have only been on the Jeep for a few months last year - as my wife doesn't drive a lot, they've probably seen a couple of thousand miles. $1700 with both sets of tires.
Car is in Carson City, NV - send me a message on here if interested. I'm happy to meet a GRMer at Reno airport or work with a shipper (done that before for another GRMer).

WHY WOULD YOU IMPOSE SUCH TORTURE AND HATE UPON HER?!?!
Oh, nevermind, it's just your wife.
Keep the Cherokee, you'll need it.

4wd or 2wd?
I'm guessing 4wd. There's a 4x4 badge just below the rear side windows in the first and fifth pictures.
That's a good price Tim. Up here, that truck with the maintenance records would pull at least double what you're asking.

If the shipping to Michigan was not 1/2 the price of the truck I would need it.

Yes, it's 4WD. 4WD even works, we just don't have had to use it much.

A fly and drive would be pretty close to the full price!
Eh... it'd still only be about half. Figure plane ticket will be $200-$250, and you'll spend about $500 in gas (or less) if it gets highways MPGs anything like my Cherokee does.
I'm seeing around 20-22mpg highway in this when not towing. Which one shouldn't do with this anyway.

Yep, you'll immediately lose control and sideswipe everyone for miles as you fishtail and explode in a ball of flame.
