My son found a 1999 Cherokee 2wd for $500 not running. He wanted it for the 4.0 and the sheetmetal. I went with him to pick it up and sure enough it wasn't going to start for us. We loaded on the trailer and headed home.
Yesterday I put a charger on the battery and it came back to life..
Today I got a chance to look at it. It appears that others had tried to get it started and never put things back together properly. Besides the fan coming on as soon as the key is on, there were no signs of any thing wrong. Crank and no start! I went to show my neighbor what it was doing but then it started. I could repeat the no start and start by holding the key up. So, now that it is running, my son was thinking of a quick sell and picking up a new rebuild 4.0. I was thinking that it's not worth that much even running and to keep it for parts. The rear hatch is damaged and the glass is broken. I have no idea what it is worth but it can't be much more than he paid for it. Am I right?
