My sons first car!

Well, the time has come. My son is 16 and has his learners, another 6 months to go until he has a full fledged drivers licence.

He has been talking about a car for some time and has wanted an older Cherokee (not Grand Cherokee). A few days ago he found an add for a one owner 91 Cherokee Sport - 2 door, 4 liter inline 6 and 5 speed. It has high mileage - 360,000 km's and some surface body rust, but has always been well maintained and runs great. It had a recent clutch and new syncros.

I coached him along but he found the vehicle and cut the deal on his own, I am really proud of him. I don't think he can go wrong at $600. It needs a battery and tires (which I already have from the Dodge truck I just parted) and has a crack in the windshield, but I think it is a perfect first vehicle.

Plus, it is a mopar to boot!
