Blown Jeep Cherokee engine question????
I bought 2000 Jeep Cherokee Sport from my roommate who was moving out of town for 500 bucks. He said it needed major work and turns out it does. I drove it to a Jeep dealership and it needs a new engine and a new radiator from a major coolant leak possibly from a blow head gasket They said it would cost 4,000 dollars to repair including parts and labor. Plus it could use new tires to pass inspection and new brakes and that is another 1,000.
I dont have 4,000 bucks to throw into it but I could manage 2,000- 2,500 could I repair this for 2,500?? Or should I just scrap it?

If you have a local community college or vocational school with an automotive program you may be able to get them to do the work for you. It would be a time consuming process but you'd get quality work for practically free.
Alternatively, if you had the skill and the tools you could do it yourself but if you had those you probably wouldn't be asking the question.
