97 GC
« on: March 24, 2009, 02:55:46 PM »
i have a 97 jeep grand cherokee larado the interior is 90% the body has two little spots of rust and some trail damage it's about 85% it also has a new rebuilt tranny with about 1000kms on it, it also has a 3.5 RE super flex lift kit and 31 inch tsl super swampers with 90% tread life left i would like to build an xj or a jeep with a frame, but i would like to get your 2 cents on what you think it's worth because for me to start a new project i need to sell the first one.


i'll take some pictures and try and figure out how to post them

You might be able to get 3.5-4.5k.    You will not get the money put into it in lift/tires back and a stock 97 Laredo can be had for 3.5k.

For comparison a 1999 GC LTD can be had for $4900

If you ever want to check the _real_ value of your less than 10 year old car, here is the link. It's supposed to be for members only ;)
http://www.bcaa.com/wps/portal/cars/blackbook?rdePathInfo=xchg/bcaa-com/hs.xsl/cars-blackbook.htm

It's very helpful for negotiating and a great selling tool.
