Mileage Jeep Grand Cherokee For Only $1,700 After Realizing My 'Holy Grail' Project Is Doomed
The Autopian • • technology
Key Points:
- David Tracy, author and founder of The Autopian, decided to purchase a low-mileage 1993 Jeep ZJ for $1,700 after being inspired by his own recent article praising early 1993 Jeep Grand Cherokees as great deals.
- The Jeep, located in East LA, appeared to be in excellent condition with a previous repaint, no rust, and only 95,000 miles, featuring the durable AW4 Aisin transmission.
- Tracy acknowledges that his ambitious project to restore a "Holy Grail" 5-speed ZJ is no longer feasible due to overwhelming personal and professional commitments, including building The Autopian and family responsibilities.
- He plans to sell his long-stalled red ZJ project and its parts car, choosing instead to focus on more manageable and financially sensible decisions that prioritize his family and business's long-term health.
- Tracy intends to share more details about the newly acquired Jeep's condition in a future article, hoping it proves to be a worthwhile addition rather than a problematic purchase.
