hi all, i 've been cruising craigs list and have seen a few 2&4wd grand cherokees with the 4.7 engine and under 100 k miles going for under $5000!.
is there some major design fault that drives the price down? is there some powertrain issue? or electrical problems that are common to these models, making them less desireable? thanks

thanks for the replies!, some of my concern was the realibialty of the 4.7 vs the 4.0 or 5.2, like does the 4.7 go 200k without major problems?, and i know the trannys arent as good as the aw4. this series of jeep does seem to be a upgrade from the xj's.

I had a 4.7 in a durango that had over 250000 miles on it. it ran perfectly no oil use at all. its still driving around the city, I see it quite often. I think the 4.7 is a great engine to replace the 5.2, can get pretty good highway milage and has nice power and sound.
