Lifter noise is pretty common and can be cured...well, covered up, anyhow...with slightly heavier oil. It would seem that the only way to cure the piston slap is to rebuild the motor, so you would either have to do so or live with it until the engine warms up. How many miles on this Cherokee? Might be worth it to keep shopping.
