It's the 6 cylinder quadratrac. What specifically should I look for in the electrical department?

See if the mechanic who's been looking after it has a engine computer scan device. More than likely he has if He's been servicing it. My local guy bought one when He was servicing my last Jeep.
He should be able to give you a printout of error codes history if they haven't been cleared. There may not be much there, but it will give you an idea. Once you know the codes, you can search the meaning of each through the Ausjeepoffroad forum.
The main thing I'd be looking for is sensor and computer error codes. These are not isolated to Jeeps, but many new cars. It's just with Jeeps they tend to be a bit more temperamental and shut things down when you least expect them.
Once you get an idea of how these beasts behave, you'll know what I mean or what your looking for.
In the main, the older Jeeps were either really good or really bad. I'm tipping given that the current owner has had it since new?? He's looked after and serviced it, rebuilt the transmission etc so it should be one of the really good ones.
I would never touch one from a second hand car yard even of they gave it to you, but to all accounts it sounds like you could be on a winner with this one.
The guy I know from Montmorency bought one from a car yard. Looked great well maintained etc and has had nothing but trouble with it. Just wanted to make sure it wasn't this one.
