My first post. Ok, down to business. I have been following this site for about 6 months now. I was looking to purchase a 98-99 LC back in August. However, after searching for a while, I could not find a LC for a great deal. I ended up settling for a 01' Grand Cherokee Limited (4.0 I6, QuadraDrive AWD). I like the Grand Cherokee and have had no issues to date, however, I keep reading posts on this site and am semi-regretting not waiting a while longer for something to pop up (which one did...I've seen several since that have been around 15-16k with 100-120k).
That being said, do you all have any experiences with Jeeps such as mine and Land Cruisers? If so, feel free to chime in with any comparitive analysis! My Jeep has 92k on it right now, the only thing I am on the wall about is buying a vehicle that is 2-3 years older and with more mileage. Are there any significant items I should be looking at to have checked while searching? I noticed some have had starter contact issues. Any transmission issues with 98-99's? That is one thing I cannot go into. If a tranny on my Jeep happens to go bad, it will cost about 1k for a rebuild. I assume the LC would be at least 2x that amount.
Thanks, and sorry if I rambled. Glad to actually be a posting member of the forum now. Hopefully I can contribute some knowledge at some point in the not-so-distant future. (However, on a side note...If any of you have questions about turbocharging,MKIV or MKIII Supra's, or Cobra Mustangs....feel free to shoot me an IM...I've had a few break the 1k hp mark).
