Who knows this topic might already have been beat to death but this is my first look into this forumsection so please have patience.
Looking at cars for daily transportation and one model that has caught my attention is 99 Grand cherokee with the 4.7 V8 these can be found for sale at prices that i find reasonable.
Is there alot of problems with them? What do i need to know when looking at them? In short what´s the god,bad and ugly about them?
Im not a rich guy,just looking for a descent car to transport my a$$ around town and/or wherever else i find a need to go dont want to overspend on something that is crap.

Wife has 01 GC--we bought it with 60K on it--belonged to Jeep service managers wife--it is 2wd 4.7 now has 212K on it. I LOVE the 4.7--it hauls butt--I love it--never under 20MPG ( 2wd remember) These jeeps all have same issues--window motors all puke--easy and cheap replacements out there--thermostat housings all leak but use factory thermostats that helps--biggest issue is air door hinges fail so ac and heat trouble--factory had a fix so many of them have been repaired by now--if ac and heat does not work you have to tear the dash out and it is a two day deal to fix but if they work don't worry--heated seats are all failed, solenoid pack replacement in trans is common but really easy--you can do it yourself and under $400 for fluid and all--brakes have known squishy pedal that seems to go all the way to floor--total fluid replacement helps big time--radiators are cheapo but take an act of congress to install--power steering hoses have odd ball fitting into pump and can fail-- we LOVE ours and I constantly look for one owner low mile unit to buy at any price--they are not out there--folks all drove the crud out of them I agree--I work in an engine shop and I can rebuild a 4.0 for hundreds--easy --can do one drunk and it will be fine--4.7 comes into the shop we all cringe--if oil is changed --they are sweet--but.....
