Im talking to a buddy from highschool recently and he mentioned he is selling a Jeep.

  • This is where i should have just hung up and walked away

I ask him about it and all that he mentions it sitting by the curb. I get a vague description about its condition and that "it runs and stuff" but had a engine mishap.

  • I shoulda just said no and walked away

He said $100 and a bottle of Smirnoff and its mine... sooooooo Yesterday my brother Paul, best friend Nick and I go to buy this Jeep.

i open the door and the gag reflex kicks in instantly. its filled with old food and random junk and trash and garbage. i popped the hood and its all there mostly haha. i tell the kid selling it to turn it on. he did. knockknockknockknockknockknockknockknock. SHUT IT OFF. It has NO coolant, at all!

  • I should just said no and walked away.

We start it and drive it to a less busy street, and it died before we got there. driving it was scary and i felt sick it was so gross and smelly in there

Calls are made and Paul, Nick and I tear across town pick up his buddies trailer and we load it up and bring it home.

Parents hardly ask questions haha they never know waht ill bring home.

Its pretty rust free. some dents. a hyeractive alarm system and a knocking motor. The interior reeks and is grimy as all get up. brakes suck.

  • I shoulda just said no from the begining and walked away from it.

Here it is. 1996 Jeep Cherokee. 207,XXX miles. and yeah....

I might just sell this one haha i dunno yet

Buyin' liquor for the underaged will get you in trouble faster than trailing throttle snap-oversteer.

Did that unit come with a title? is there a screwdriver where the ignition switch lock core belongs?

do those have coil springs in front?

you could probably get $55-60 for the converter then $300 for the rest at a scrapper for it immediately with no work.

Hmm, your only about 5 hours away, and I do want a Jeep. But maybe I should do as you should have, say no, walk away.
