Im 16 is a 1996 jeep cherokee for a first car good???

Question

parents just bought me........its all stock...would it looks good if i painted it and put rims on it?

Answer 1

Yes, you're lucky they got you anything.

Answer 2

No, don't be g*y. Just drive it as is. Trust me, when I was 16 (almost 10 years ago) I did that c**p. No one will think you are cool and the cops will keep an extra sharp eye on you.

Answer 3

They are not great on gas , they do have a frame , if you don't abuse it it could last a long time . for now don't worry about looks make sure it is sound . often times the first car or two gets wiped out in wrecks and unnecessary repairs . First you still need to learn about driving that the drivers ed didn't teach about.

96 cherikees aren't all that bad looking

Answer 4

Have it checked out, and if it is a 4X4 really check it out as 4X4's sometimes get beat on in off roading and that will take a toll on the vehicle, I had one for years and if it has the 4.0 inline  6 cylinder engine, that is a real solid engine, it is a torque monster, but don't look for great gas mileage though.

Answer 5

ya paint the wheels WTH. i did on my 96 Jeep grand and it looks awesome . check it out. it has a 2  1/4 lift and 31x10.50x15 tires on it and i get some heads turnin

Answer 6

h**l yeah dude, jeeps are sick. They look real tight if you can spend some money to get a little lift and some beefy tires. My first vehicle was a 95 Jeep Cherokee lmtd and my current vehicle is a 92 Jeep Cherokee lmtd. I went backwards xD, but there sturdy vehicles. Have fun with it. ^_^;

Answer 7

Well yeah. Some 16 year olds dont even have car.
