the early 4.7"mercedes engines" had a corrosion problem with the front timing cover so when a waterpump leaked jeep would sell you the whole cover with pump already bolted to it. they were sold for about what a nomal pump costs by itself, and you get to look at the "swiss watch timing gears,chains, tensioners,and idlers"
good luck

you should always have a trusted mechanic look at your cars before you purchase but i know for fact that these cars are sturdy and last for a long time if properly maintained. my husband and i have three jeeps two are grand cherokees 2000 and 2001 both well over 100k miles and no problems out of either.

You better have that car checked by a mechanic. It doesn't matter that it "feels good."
