1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee Description

Selling personal 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited. 5.2 V8, 4x4. Been in family for nearly 10 years and has served us well.
The good:
Great body with no rust that would ever matter, even underneath
Good engine, does not smoke, tick, tap, or otherwise
NO frame damage, underbody damage or otherwise
Strong transmission
Southern Jeep since new
AC/Heat work well (wired with a switch since original switch stopped working)
All other power accessories work, even the non leaking sunroof!
Decent condition interior with desirable black leather interior
AM/FM/CD/Tape works
Nice paint overall, minor fading on the lower cladding as ALL of these do
Not so good:
268,xxx miles
Minor scratches and dings, no wrecks. Clean carfax and title in hand.
Front diff noisy, ALL of these have some degree of this and over 100,000 miles since purchased with the noise it hasn't gotten much worse. I've owned several of these and driven even more, the noise level is up there but NOT critical by any means. I'm a mechanic and see no need to replace it as it's not getting worse over the last several years.
Trans shifts a bit clunky from 1-2 and 2-3, it was that way when we bought almost 10 years ago and has gotten NO worse. NOT a serious issue NOT slipping, just another Jeep thing.
Could use refreshed suspension, but drives well as is. NO ball joint issues or any safety issues.
Needs tires eventually. You will get the chrome wheels on it, or the original silver wheels, or the steel wheels. All of which need tires. The chrome set has the best tires but all are driveable but not the best.
Needs a starter. By the time sale is completed, I should have one installed and ready to go.
May need an alternator. If it sells for buy it now, I will buy and install one for no additional charge.
Needs a tune up. Nothing major.
This could be a project but can also be a driver, not without its quirks but having been around these for 16 years this is by far the best high mileage one in my experience. Tight, strong, and amazing for a 20 year old daily driven Jeep.
--VIN is not actual, real vin available on request--
Will consider offers as well.
Thanks
