IT'S A JEEP THING!
You are looking at a great looking 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo Special Edition which is just like the limited with painted body molding, leather power heated seats, infinity stereo, power sunroof, alloy wheels, 5.2L V8, Quadratrac full-time 4x4, keyless entry, power windows, locks, mirrors, cold a/c, and towing package! This is a used vehicle and you should expect wear and tear consistant with a 1998 model. I will go into detail on the condition, but over all this is a good running, driving, looking Jeep SUV.
The exterior of this Jeep, as you can see, is very nice. It has a nice deep black paint, that still shines like it should, it has dings and scratches, but nothing out of charachter for a 1998. I would say this Jeep looks better than most it's age and miles. The only bad spot is on the passenger rocker, there is a rust hole. The rest of the body is clean, way less than the typical rust for a northern truck, insides of the doors are clean, rest of the rockers are clean, very sharp good looking truck. The wheels are in good shape.
The interior is also a little nicer than you might expect for this year vehicle. The leather is really nice with the only extra wear on the drivers back bolster where you get in and out, you can barely see it, very minimal. The floors are clean, and the headliner is drooping over both front doors, about 3" per side long, and just barely hanging, could probably be easily glued back up. The rest of it is good. The dash is clean, no cracks. This truck is very clean, but could probably look even better with a professional detail. The windows all work, and the glass is in good shape, no cracks.
Now to the mechanical. This is a strong running V8 engine. It sounds great, doesn't knock, tick, or smoke. No check engine light. The transmission shifts great, goes through all the gears, and feels tight. This truck does have the typical Jeep rear-end whine. I've had alot of these, and every one has done it, everyone I know who has one does it, and they tend to go for years and years with no problem, other than the noise, but I don't want any suprises for anyone so there it is. The truck goes down the road nicely, I'm not going to lie and say it drives brand new, it is a 98, and I'm sure it could probably use an alignment, maybe a tie-rod end or something minor, but I wouldn't be afraid to drive this anywhere, I just took it on a 200 mile round trip yesterday, and didn't have any issues. The tires are very good, with deep tread, they may have 20,000 miles on them. You won't have to buy new tires for a while on this one. The brakes stop good, no pulse. This is one of the few trucks this age that I would take on a long trip, feel free to drive this back home as far as you need to, it's a solid Jeep.
So those are the details. Again, please be reasonable in your expectations for a 1998, inexpensive SUV. Look at the pictures and feel free to ask questions. I think this is a great truck, and will make someone a nice daily driver, winter 4x4, or someone could jack it up and have some fun with it. I'm selling it no reserve, so you set the price. Tell me what you want to pay, then come and get it. I have a clean title in hand, and will give you a bill of sale if you are out of state. If you are a Michigan resident I will need to collect sales tax, and state fees. This does have a clean car fax. Shipping is up to you, but I will help as much as I can.
Thanks for looking and Good Luck!

Chrysler recalls 468,700 Jeep Grand Cherokees, Commanders over rollaway risk
Mon, 13 May 2013Chrysler has issued a recall covering a combined 469,000 units of the 2005-2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee and the 2006-2010 Jeep Commander (inset). Of that number, 295,000 are in the US, roughly 33,000 in Canada and Mexico and the remainder in other markets. It seems an electrical fault in the transfer case can allow the affected SUVs to shift into neutral on their own, while an Associated Press report says that Chrysler had "found cracks in a circuit board that turns the four-wheel-drive system on and off." The issue was discovered when an owner started his car remotely and it rolled away.
Chrysler is expected to begin notifying owners in June 2013, who can then take their cars to dealers. The dealer will reflash the final drive controller free of charge. There's a bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below with more information.
Watch the 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Hellcat blast off
Thu, Jan 21 2016It's all but official. Jeep will produce a Hellcat version of the Grand Cherokee with crazy horsepower. We mean crazy. Today, our spy shooters have captured video footage of this demonic creation. It's pretty short, but you can see a dark Grand Cherokee launch with vigor and then brake hard to a halt. We think we detect the whine of a supercharger amid the commotion. Jeep boss Mike Manley has said on video that the JGC Hellcat will arrive before the end of next year. Specs aren't known, but it seems likely that the Jeep Hellcat will share the blown 6.2-liter V8 used in the Charger and Challenger Hellcats. We've also heard rumors the Trackhawk name could be used for this vehicle. In those applications, the beastly Hemi pumps out 707 manic horsepower. Really, why wouldn't you do this? Jeep sales surged 22 percent around the world last year to 1.2 million, the brand's best year ever. Clearly, Jeep decided it was time to add an extreme performance vehicle. Jeep already sells an SRT model that pumps out 475 hp, so adding a top-end Hellcat seems logical. And a Hell of a lot of fun. Related Video:
2018 Jeep Wrangler to get 8-speed auto
Mon, Nov 24 2014Remember when the Jeep Wrangler had a three-speed automatic? That wasn't that long ago – as recent as the 2007 redesign – but Chrysler is keen to leave those days behind on the dusty trail. The current model ushered in a four-speed, then a five-speed, but the latest intel indicates that an eight-speed automatic is in the cards. According to a report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and cited by Automotive News, Jeep plans on fitting its eight-speed automatic transmission to the next-generation Wrangler. Chrysler already uses the ZF-sourced slushbox on the Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ram 1500, Chrysler 300, and versions of the Dodge Challenger, Charger and Durango. But according to the SEC filing, the Auburn Hills automaker intends "to use this transmission in all of our rear-wheel-drive vehicles, except for heavy-duty versions of the Ram pick-up truck and the SRT Viper." AN says that Chrysler wanted to slot the transmission straight into the current Wrangler, but it wouldn't fit. Between the transmission and shift to aluminum construction, the next-generation Wrangler promises to deliver a significant reduction in fuel consumption. In correspondence with Autoblog, however, company spokesmen declined to comment on the eight-speed's suitability towards either the current Wrangler or the upcoming one.
