Newb....First Time Owner Here
Hi all. I've trolled for a few days while waiting to be confirmed and find this a VERY informative site about my new car. I have a 2000 (GL I think) Sedan with 160k+ miles on it. I only paid $2k, we needed a 2nd car because of the baby. I've also got a gold '99 Cherokee Sport 4x4.
Of course I've got a million things to research on here obviously since I paid so little for it you can imagine the things that need done (and yes the windows too, I'll get to that in a seperate thread lol).
I don't plan to do too much with it at first, just get it up to par and able to be inspected...tires, tie rod, rear-view mirror etc. The guy that owned it before me was honestly an idiot and also took very poor care of the car. The good thing is that he inherited it from his grandmother who worked for the govt and had to have it serviced regularly so I'm assuming the enging, which looks clean, is good for al least another 60-100k miles!
in todays snow storm....

Welcome to the site. Yea those do look like something you would find at walmart, but IMO they look better than the stock hubcaps that came with the GX.
