Automatic. 4 cylinder. 132,000 miles. Hard Top. Cd player with iPod hook up in glove box. Decent Tires. There are some problems with it. The main one would be the engine either needs rebuilt or just replaced. Mechanic quoted me $1300 at the very most. There are some leaks, most of which would be remedied by replacing the engine. Other than that the jeep is a dream. (even more so with the top off). Looking for about $4500 or best offer. (cash preferred)
