Got a new car in the family

We can now welcome my fiance to the Chrysler crowd. These are just a few pics from the lot, but it should be home in the next couple days.

Specs:
2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee
4.7L v-8 (bye bye gas mileage)
auto, add says its a 5 speed auto, but i didn't count the shifts
4x4
leather
dual power seats
sunroof

We got it for a steal imo. $7000, which was just slightly more than what we got for the beetle. Ran a carfax, it checked out good, drove it, and it drove smooth, didnt pull, trans shifted really smooth. I really can't under stand the price, but it might be that they had it a while and SUV's probably aren't selling that great right now.

Now she drives something I feel comfortable working on

Nice! A converted Chrysler owner!

My friend has a similar jeep but it's beige/gold in color. It rides real nice especially in the snow.

just kidding, after many years of driving compact cars, I am not a fan of SUV's, but at least it is a Jeep

Looks nice, and nice deal!!

Well, the GC pictured ended up being a POS, thankfully it was noticed before we officially bought it.

And she is driving home in a 2002 GC with the 4.0 in it. I haven't even seen it yet. She and her dad went into need to buy a car today mode, and found it. Its apparently really nice.

Had you not needed a vehicle so quickly and were willing to travel a bit....

There are local and friends of ours. They ALWAYS have a Beetle or two available. And their prices are very fair and somewhat negotiable.

But who doesn't like a 4.0 Jeep? They are the best and last forever when cared for.

Yeah, just a little bit

I have been meaning to get a few picutres of it, but its gonna still have to wait.

Its graphite, but a hair lighter than my neon.

It also has a slight tick that I am trying to mask (as I'm told it is pretty normal)
