Yup, 10x the fun in an LS1 vehicle than anything offroad.

WHat is your jeep 'worth'

I would roughly price that trans am between 4-7k depending on condition.

It's gunna come down to how well the car was maintained, as long as it isn't smoking or knocking I wouldn't worry about it. I would swap him if I was in your shoes , mud holes are fun but so is drag racing

I would DD a well maintained TA with 200K. Just do the regular maintenance and maybe a little extra.

plugs, wires, O2s, fuel filter, air filter, starter, alternator, battery, shocks/struts etc.

Did anyone read the post who mentioned the high miles? His car currently has the same miles on it as the car he is looking to trade, so that's irrelevant. I think most on this site would do the trade in a heartbeat since they like these cars better then off road oriented cars. But honestly it all depends on what you like, IF the car has been taken care of 150K isn't a lot

Do it! 150k on a LS1 is like 150k on a 4.0. They both laugh at high mileage.

Plus lifted Cherokees are a dime a dozen, if the TA is clean it's worth way more.

My other car is a lifted '97 ZJ 4.0, btw.

Even though this forum is going to be biased, I would still go for it...these cars are a blast.
