Make sure the engine purrrrrrs and the lower ball joints don't rattle, other than that believe they are OK.

Hi,
depending on the miles it has, make sure it has had it's timing belt done as it's very pricey to do around £900.00 at Jeep dealership. Check also front wheel bearings, have a habit of going around the 90K to 100K. When you find one take it for a long run and make sure the EVIC doesn't through up any Error/Code messages, depending on the code they can be very fidly to fix (& expensive). A part from all the above good choice, best if you find a 6 spd instead of an Auto, stronger gearbox and less hassel with Torque convertor.

On the 2.5 CRD 60K so assume no different on this one.
