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!

Say goodbye to the Dodge Dart and Chrysler 200

Wed, Jan 27 2016

Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne outlined an update to the company's five-year business plan Wednesday, and among the changes, the Dodge Dart and Chrysler 200 sedans will soon be phased out. The company's presentation to investors states that the "market shift from cars to trucks and UVs [utility vehicles is] now seen as permanent shift in demand," and FCA wants to respond as quickly as possible. Killing the 200 and Dart will allow FCA to build more Jeep and Ram models at the Sterling Heights, MI, and Belvidere, IL, plants where the sedans were produced. We already knew FCA was planning to shift 200 and Dart production to Mexico, to free up the Sterling Heights facility for Ram 1500 production, and the Belivdere site for Jeep Cherokee output. The Cherokee will move from its current home in Toledo, OH, to allow for increased Wrangler production. It's no shock that FCA wants to shift its focus to crossovers and trucks. In December 2015, for example, combined sales of the Dodge Dart and Chrysler 200 were 15,310. The Jeep Cherokee, which uses the same platform as the Dart and 200, outsold both models combined, with 24,049 sales. Both the Dart and 200 had troubles from the beginning. Marchionne recently blamed designers for the 200 not receiving a Consumer Reports 'recommended' rating, and the Dart was one of the lowest-scoring cars in a CR reliability study.

Fiat Chrysler and the UAW reach tentative labor deal

Sat, Nov 30 2019

DETROIT — Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and the United Auto Workers (UAW) union on Saturday announced a tentative agreement for a four-year labor contract, a boost for the automaker as it works to merge with France's Groupe PSA. Italian-American Fiat Chrysler and PSA, the maker of Peugeot and Citroen, last month announced a planned $50 billion merger to create the world's fourth-largest automaker. The tentative agreement with Fiat Chrysler, which is subject to ratification by the union members, follows contracts that the UAW already concluded with Ford Motor Co and General Motors Co. The deal with GM followed a 40-day strike in the United States that virtually shuttered GM's North American operations and cost the automaker $3 billion. The UAW on Saturday said the contract with Fiat Chrysler included a commitment from FCA to invest $9 billion, creating 7,900 new jobs over the course of the four-year contract. Of the $9 billion, $4.5 billion was announced earlier this year, to be invested in five plants and creating 6,500 jobs. Detailed terms of the tentative agreement were not released, but they are expected to echo those under the new contracts with GM and Ford, as the UAW typically uses the first deal as a pattern for the others. "FCA has been a great American success story thanks to the hard work of our members," UAW acting President Rory Gamble said in a statement. "We have achieved substantial gains and job security provisions for the fastest growing auto company in the United States." Ratification is not a sure thing. Rank-and-file UAW members at FCA in 2015 rejected the first version of a contract. In addition, a lawsuit related to a federal corruption probe could also raise doubts among union members about the terms agreed. The federal corruption led GM to file a racketeering lawsuit against FCA, alleging that its rival bribed union officials over many years to corrupt the bargaining process and gain advantages, costing GM billions of dollars. FCA has brushed off the lawsuit as groundless. Under the UAW's deal with GM, the automaker agreed to invest $9 billion in the United States, including $7.7 billion directly in its plants, and to create or retain 9,000 UAW jobs. Ford's contract included commitments to invest more than $6 billion in its U.S. plants and to create or retain more than 8,500 UAW jobs. The deals with GM and Ford also created a pathway to full-time employment for temporary workers and left healthcare insurance coverage unchanged.

2014 Jeep Cherokee musters 22 MPG city, 31 highway

Thu, 05 Sep 2013

Production and media drive delays included, there has been no lack of press surrounding the 2014 Jeep Cherokee. With the most recent delay reportedly due to powertrain calibrations, we've been waiting to see how the Cherokee's fuel economy looks against the highly competitive compact CUV segment. Thanks to the EPA, we now know the fuel economy figures for the newest member of the Jeep family.
Arguably, the Cherokee has the most modern powertrain in its class with an updated base engine, all-new V6 and all-new nine-speed automatic transmission, but its fuel economy figures are simply on par for the segment. Still nothing to scoff at, though. According to fueleconomy.gov, front-wheel-drive Cherokee models with the base four-cylinder mill will top out the lineup with 22 miles per gallon in the city and 31 mpg on the highway; opting for four-wheel drive with this engine drops the figures to 21 city and 28 highway. Get even crazier with the option list, and the new 3.2-liter Pentastar V6 will get you 19 mpg city and 28 mpg highway in two-wheel-drive form or 19 city and 27 highway for 4WD.
If you're wondering how that stacks up among compact CUVs, head on over to Automobile Magazine for a full fuel economy breakdown for the segment. The controversially styled crossover hits dealers this month, and we'll be driving it in just a couple of weeks.
