Buying Advice - WJ Grand Cherokee?

[doka]

Hey guys..a mate of mine is looking at buying a WJ Grand Cherokee and is wondering what to look for.

I have looked for links with Buying advice/thinks to check but cant seem to find any.

Does anyone have useful info about what he needs to check? common issues etc etc..

thanks

One thing, check to see weather the window regulators have been replaced... they will go eventually.

Cheers

As mentioned, you are on the right site for info, I researched pretty hard here before buying. I did print out a couple of checklists from other sites before inspecting mine so I'll link you to them when I get home. Off the top of my head:

• Coolant smell from heater = leaky heater core, has it already been replaced
• Check CV boots for wear
• check for front brake rotor warpage, brake gently at any speed to check
• Does it have black or silver brake calipers, silver are less prone to warping the rotors
• If it's a Limited do all the electric gizmos like heated seats etc still work
• Is it Quadra DRIVE (not Quadra Trac), if so extra traction offroad
