I'd stay away from it or get something older, more robust.
Tell your buddy to to check the ground wire in the dash. The 97-99 wranglers have a ground wire that tended to come lose shortly after leaving the factory. His window motors must have been aftermarket. They didn't come from the factory with them.
As for buying a wrangler, I suggest buying the full hard doors and both a soft and hard top. Hard top for long highway drives (roadtrips), and the soft top for the summer so it's easy to pull the top back and get a tan.
Make sure you get a dana 44 rear.

She looked pretty good, so good I may just buy it. The paint had a few blems on it but I think the overall condition of this Jeep was pretty good. It was dark blue with 33"'s and a 3" lift kit. No dents and interior was perfect, even had the sound bar.

Nothing major. 4 wheel drive and drive train check out good. He bought this puppy brand new back in 97', he has all the records on it. Like I said the paint has a few blems on it, no dings or dents. I think most of them will buff out but if not I've saved a lot of the money from the purchae price that I could afford to have it repainted and be on the safe side when I decide to sell it.

Re: Anyone Have/Had a Jeep?
the reason i said that was, you cant touch a stock 97 wrangler with soft top and doors, with that many miles for under 6500 around here.......

Another reason I found about 30 minutes ago is that the owner has Cancer. Sp he may need the money for medical reasons.

That sucks if that's why he's selling, but great for a buyer!

Hell, tell her she can do that in a GTS as well and it's less likely she'll be seen and risk arrest. [img]/images/graemlins/supergrin.gif[/img]
