Purchase consideration....

[Ghostrider I]

I am looking at a 125K mile 200 as a daily to replace my WK Grand Cherokee. I read Slee's guide to what to look for, any other suggestions?

One question though, as my HDJ-80 is going through a timing belt service this week. Does the 200 have a belt or a chain? If a belt, what is the interval for service?

5.7 = Chain

While no timing belt to worry about at 100k, there are other considerations around that point if you read through MUD (radiator, water pump, and such).

Run a search on MUD with the term "buying advice". You'll get several threads that will help with the 2008 LC buying decision and what to consider.

On the Carfax for the one you are looking at, one of the two accidents looks like there may have been extensive damage: side, front, and rear of vehicle sustained damage. Take an especially careful look to make sure it's ok.

Price seems high. I paid $33 for a 2011 LX570 with 99k miles, one owner, dealer maintained and no accidents. Also already had front and rear ARB bumpers, winch and K02’s. I’d keep looking.

yep price is a bit high , especially for one with two accidents. Keep looking. You'll find better deals.

This could be defined as synonym for woot

Here is something creepy. This truck is currently
At auction. There are blood stains all over the interior.

140k miles on a 2008 with a salvage title for 28k? Come on now.... plus it's practically a wheeled crime scene.

I hope that's not Ghostrider's blood.

This is the car from the original post here.

Nope. I bought a '92 80. Maybe one day I'll buy a 150 or 200.

Love the line- biohazard. I'm sure they lived though, thank God.
