Another Jeep!

Dan sold our '99 Volvo last Friday and we were going to only have 1 car for a while and see how it worked out. I still commute to work everyday and so will he once he starts working again and it would force me to ride in even when the weather sucks.

Dan showed up at my work on Wednesday with a surprise for me....




He bought a '95 Jeep Cherokee Unlimited. It's a pretty sweet car and he got an amazing deal on it. He bought it from some girl who just wanted to unload it, it didn't start but from what she told Dan, he knew it was the alternator. So, the day after looking at it the first time he went and bought an alternator and replaced it and the thing started right up! Kicker is he talked the girl down from $1200 to $800 and when the girls neighbor saw Dan working on it, he came outside and told him that he'd give him $50 if he bought it because he was so sick of having the thing sitting out in front of his house! So, he bought the Jeep for $800, put $100 into with the alternator and got $50 from the neighbor...total money spent on the Jeep was $850!

Not bad for a 2nd beater car with AWD!

Pretty good score if you ask me :)

Oh and the girl had 4 wheels sitting in her garage that he ex-boyfriend bought and never put on. She wanted them out of her garage too so she just gave them to us! Dan said they're probably worth about $350 each!
