If I was well-off, I'd definitely buy it, sell the rims (replace 'em with steelies, even), and off-road that thing until it broke/got horribly mired. Then I'd haul it out and drive it around juuuust like that.
Actually, hell, I'd probably park it outside the guy's house, dented, scratched, covered in mud. The reaction alone would be worth the money. #1996jeepgrandcherokee

Well, if I needed a ride to Funkytown...
Oh, wait, I get it. Somebody got a 160k mile old Cherokee. Somebody was learning some "customization" techniques.
Hey, we'll junker this baby up and sell it on eBay!
= Profit.
Lezze... Crap ass car, some weird engine, cheezy flames and doors, and they don't have enough money to fix an A/C, which is ~500 bucks. Not to mention it's high miles.
Sonuvagun. Did anyone else notice the light bar on top? As if it weren't a goofy-enough cruising machine, it's as if, in that peculiar depth of emotion where love flips to hate and vice-versa, somewhere down deep the guy that did all this work decided he really wants to be a bit more like the cops. Like he'll steal some of their cool, if he can fake some of their flash. Literal flash in this case.

There is nothing wrong with it that a new hood, factory hinges and a paint job couldn't fix. A 162k mile 1996 Grand Cherokee should be worth between $1500 and $3500 depending on condition. This one is in pretty nice shape, so I'll err toward the high end, but then adjust for the aforementioned de-modifications.
$3500 minus $1k for a cheap, but passable paint job. Minus $100 for a junkyard hood. Minus $50 and several hours for the hinge rework.
Eh, I'm feeling generous. Do you think he'd come down $6500k from his asking price? I'd be willing to spend $2000 on it.

My point still stands for the rest of the car though. #1996jeepgrandcherokee

I would even pay $1.99 to see the reaction. #1996jeepgrandcherokee

Too bad he missed the Cash 4 Clunkers boat. There's no way he'll be able to get $4500 out of this tired, old poseur.

At $8500, it is unquestionably in crack territory. #1996jeepgrandcherokee

Typically having a low range means four-wheel-drive, even if it really means only two wheel drive...one front wheel, one rear wheel.
I'm just ignoring the rest of the vehicle. These were surprisingly good in poor conditions of all sorts...this one though.... #1996jeepgrandcherokee
