The car I keep around for my teenage kid's is getting a bit long of tooth (1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee 300,000 miles).
A friend has a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee (4.7 V8 4X4 Auto Trans 150,000 miles) she wants to sell ... since the transmission puked about 6 weeks ago. She bought a new 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee and parked the old one on the curb. I plan to offer her Kelly Blue Price less the cost to replace the transmission. What is a guestimate of the cost to replace the transmission? I plan on making my teenage kids help me install a rebuilt or used transmission ... or walk to school ... their choice. Thanks, Eddie |

With Kelly Blue Book Values between $2600 (Fair Condition - Trade-In) and $4985 (Excellent condition - Private Party), I'm hoping to be able to purchase this Jeep for between $500 and $1500. I know the vehicle is pretty straight with nearly new tires, but does have a few clitches. I need to inquire about the service history.
It's seems that the 4.7 V8 sludge problem is more common in hot climates with the Durango and Dakota. This Jeep has always been in Seattle. I know I can sell the '93 Jeep for $500 (after we change the noisy timing chain), so the swap MIGHT be worth the time and risk. Cheers, Eddie |

Cheers, Eddie FWIW, just make sure the heater flapper door is still in tact. If that sucker is broken, the whole dash comes out to fix a 50.00 part. Was more common on the dual climate control cars. |
