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!

2017 Jeep Model Year Preview and Updates
Wed, Mar 1 2017This will be a huge year for Jeep, with the introduction of an all-new compact Compass crossover - pictured above - taking place in November, 2016 at the Los Angeles Auto Show, and the pending introduction of an all-new Wrangler later in the calendar year. Not all Jeep products are Trail Rated, but those models will get the most marketing attention. CHEROKEE: Jeep's midsize crossover receives a mild refresh as it makes its way from assembly in Toledo, Ohio to a retooled plant in Belvidere, Illinois. Most of the Jeep feature updates are directed to the Cherokee Trailhawk, which receives heated/ventilated front seats covered in Nappa leather, a power eight-way driver's seat, Keyless Entry 'n Go and remote start. An upscale Overland trim adds a Heavy Duty Protection Group and Trailer Tow Prep packages. COMPASS: This all-new 'global' compact SUV will be built and sold around the world. Sitting atop FCA's 'small wide 4X4 platform' (like the newish Renegade), the Compass offers a more substantial presence than the smaller Renegade, while promising to be more maneuverable and responsive – at least with comparable four-cylinder power – than the larger Cherokee. Expect the 2018 Compass to arrive in Jeep showrooms by midyear. GRAND CHEROKEE: The Trailhawk, with up to eleven inches of ground clearance, best-in-class towing and a crawl ratio of 44.1:1, is revived, three new exterior colors are added, and the front fascia on all '17 Grand Cherokees is tweaked. For those wishing to reach the Summit, Jeep's Grand(est) Cherokee offers an upgraded interior, 'high' style. PATRIOT: At the tail end of its product cycle, the Patriot is unchanged. Of continued interest to Jeep enthusiasts is its genuine off-road credibility, propelled by the Patriot's Freedom Drive II off-road package. This includes a second-generation CVT2L (CVT transmission with low range), skid plates and a more offroad-centric wheel/tire combination. RENEGADE: If you're a traditional Jeep enthusiast you'll wonder why anyone would consider a Renegade. And if you're a new Jeep enthusiast you'll wonder why anyone would disregard this popular Jeep introduction. Still new to the showroom, in 2017 Jeep introduces two new trims: the offroad-oriented Deserthawk and attitude-oriented Altitude.
The 2019 Jeep Grand Wagoneer looks like a Grand Cherokee on steroids
Tue, Oct 18 2016It's a special day for Jeep fans. Thanks to the same dealer meeting leak that gave us a look at the 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL, here is our first glimpse of the new Grand Wagoneer. When it arrives for 2019, this three-row crossover SUV will be the top model in Jeep's range. We knew the Grand Wagoneer would be expensive – Jeep CEO Mike Manley said not to rule out prices upwards of $130,000 for this Range Rover fighter – but now we know it looks like it wants to pick an actual fight with its competitors. What's visible of the front and rear styling is very reminiscent of the current Grand Cherokee, but it's muscled up a bit and gets a set of sinister seven-element headlights. The seven-light theme is carried to the rear as well, and we have a feeling the number is a not-so-subtle reference to the seven-slot grille that all Jeeps wear. That said, here the grille is a short, wide-mouth affair that is a bit of a departure from those of other models. And there's a lot of brightwork in these renderings, not just on the grille but for similar pieces that connect the exhaust tips in the rear and tow-hook surrounds up front. Either by design or engineering, the Grand Wagoneer also looks wider than the two-row Grand Cherokee. The Grand Wagoneer will be about the size of the Dodge Durango three-row crossover and will be based on the platform used by the next-generation Grand Cherokee. The GC and Durango currently share a platform based on one used by Mercedes for its large SUVs, and it is not yet known whether the new Jeeps will use an evolution of that platform or something new. Hemi V8 and diesel and gas V6 engines are the likely powertrain options, and we wouldn't be surprised to see a Hellcat-powered version of this mean-looking luxury SUV at some point. Or at least we can hope. Related Video: Featured Gallery 2019 Jeep Grand Wagoneer Dealer Leak Spy Shots Image Credit: KGP Photography Design/Style Spy Photos Jeep Crossover SUV
