Thinking about buying a 1990 Cherokee with 290000 miles needing a transfer case jerks a little going into 4wd high, minor tick in motor sounds like lifter, 4.0 high output motor, motor has no leaks, smokes a little when first cranks, drives good, good tires, interior great condition, all electric windows work, no cracks in glass, gray paint faded bad, what is a jeep like this worth with 290000 miles, my buddy drives it to work daily? He's asking 1250,00 as is. Thanks, Allan
 
Sounds like it's been well-maintained. To have more than 100k and no leaks means he's kept up with it better than most, and fixed things as they popped up. Four years ago, this would be a $6-800 car. They've gone up since, though. I'd say his price is fair, but if you can get it for a grand, you'd be in great shape.
 
Personally I like the 600-800 estimate better. At 290k it's life is definitely limited! I have a friend with a 87 with about the same mileage, I listed it here, he had a hard time getting $700 for it and it ran great and was cosmetically OK.
