Selling a 1996 Jeep Cherokee with 172K on the odometer. It’s been a great vehicle for us, but it’s time for it to go to a new home. We are the second owner of the Cherokee, first owner was a naval aviator who had it from 1996 until the end of 2011—the Cherokee spent its time in California, Maryland, Virginia, and Florida. We bought it two-and-a-halfnyears ago, but now our children are in college and we’re doing some downsizing of our vehicles. This Jeep has been well taken care of and really has done no extreme off-roading.

Here are the particulars of the Jeep.

1996 Cherokee four doors – body is in great shape, there is no rust. I will note that the driver’s door has some dent damage, although the door opens and closes with no problem. I have included a picture of the door so you can see the dents.

The previous owner did some cutting on wheel wells to accommodate larger tires. He did a great job and it looks well-done. See the pictures.

Color – Red, this Cherokee was kept inside most of its life, so the paint is in pretty good shape. There is some peeling along the front fender, but for an older vehicle the paint is in good shape. It cleans up really well.

4.0 liter six cylinders engine, in absolutely great condition. It pulls strong, no smoke at all, this motor had oil changes every 3,500 miles.

Transmission – 5 speed, pretty rare in Cherokees. We put a new clutch in about 10K mile ago and being an older transmission, we put in Redline MT-90 transmission fluid.

Gearing – This Cherokee is geared low, max speed in 1^st is about 10mph and the Jeep in 2H maxes out at 65 mph. It’s geared great for the out-of-doors. No problem engaging the four wheel drive in 4H or 4L.

Suspension – Four inch high country lift, well-done and we put it on the rack recently to make sure everything was tight underneath.

Wheels – Goodyear Wranglers on American Racing centerline rims. Tires are LT 265/75R16s. They have @12K miles on them; they’re in really good shape. We have a full size spare on the rear swing arm.

Interior – Light gray in pretty good shape, no stains or tears on the upholstery. The driver’s seat is showing wear and some cracks on the side, but it is serviceable.

Maintenance – Both owners religiously followed the maintenance. In the last 5K miles we replaced the starter, battery, and installed a better Flow Kooler water pump. On the dashboard we installed a water temperature gauge.

Extras:

· Spare tire swing arm with a fully mounted spare

· Driving lights on separate switch in the front and twin back up lights on another switch – it’s great to have these lights when you out in the wilderness at night.

· Class three tow hitch with ball.

· Side rocker panels to assist step up if needed – these are legitimate well built steel side steps bolted on, not cheap cosmetic ones that break.

· Roof rack

· CD radio with six foot antennae

· Virginia safety inspection good through March 2015.

· There are no leaks with this vehicle, the transmission seals are tight.

Don’t hesitate to send me an e-mail with questions. It’s a great vehicle, a lot of fun, and you’ll get many positive looks and comments.

Here are some questions I answered a previous time I put the Jeep up for auction (I had a buyer who never completed the sale)

Answers to Questions

Q:	Hi I have had these Jeeps in the past and like them. Just a couple of questions. 1. Does this problem with thee drivers door let much air blow in? 2. How does the heater work, since I live in IL? 3. Do you think this Jeep would make it back to IL if I drove it back? 4. Thanks for any and all info. Matt and Mary	Jan-23-14
A:	1 - Not much air comes through the driver's door, I feel some on a cold winter day, but not much. The other three doors are tight. 2 - Heater works great, so does the air conditioning. When it s 20 degrees here, the Cherokee is warm in the cabin within 5 to 7 minutes. 3 - Well, I have driven to Virginia Beach about 400 miles round trip with no problems. IL you can make, but this beast likes to go 60-65 mph on the Interstate, so it will be a 12 hour trip for you. Thanks for the questions.
Q:	Very interested and hoping to make purchase of Jeep in next week to 10 days. Can you provide more info on "severe" damage accident in 2012. Also, if you give me a sense of what you are hoping to get for the Jeep, I can quickly determine if we are in the same ballpark. I am in Texas, but travel to DC frequently for work - so may want to arrange a test drive.	Jan-20-14
A:	Thanks for the interest. Interesting they characterized my son's accident as severe when the only thing that prevented him from driving away was a flat tire. Accident resulted in a flat tire that was repaired, windshield that was cracked and replaced, we had the door hinge re-welded to strengthen it, and a new left side mirror that we replaced. Some of the crumpling on the door resulted from this accident, although the door already had some dents from the previous owner, so we simply added to it. My son and I debated about replacing the door, but it works fine and frankly we think in our own way it gives it some character. We paid out of pocket from the accident--the windshield, mirror, welding, and flat (and tow) came to $800--most of it was spent to replace the windshield. For your planning, we live near Quantico Marine Corps Base, a test drive can certainly be arranged.

Chrysler taking big risk snubbing NHTSA

Wed, 05 Jun 2013

Maker Insists Feds Overstate Risk Of Fires With Grand Cherokee, Liberty Models
It's not often that recall stories make it above the fold, in that old newspaper parlance, but when one shows up as the lead story on the network evening news programs, you know it's something big.
And so it is with Chrysler snubbing its nose at a request by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to recall 2.7 million Jeeps the feds insist are at risk of potentially catastrophic fuel tank fires in a rear-end collision.

FCA's Pentastar V6 gets more power, efficiency for 2016

Wed, Sep 2 2015

Already a vital member of FCA's powertrain lineup, the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 is receiving major efficiency improvements for 2016. Thanks to a massive amount of new tech attached to the mill, fuel economy is up six percent, and torque below 3,000 rpm jumps nearly 15 percent. The updates arrive first in the 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee, but they should proliferate to other models eventually. At least in the Grand Cherokee, the tweaks push power up five horsepower to 295 ponies. FCA's engineers went through the Pentastar from top to bottom to eke out as much efficiency as possible. For example, there's now a two-speed variable-valve lift system that can run in low- or high-lift modes. This upgrade is responsible for 2.7-percent better economy, the company claims. A new intake manifold with longer runners and updated variable-valve times also helps boost the torque output. Further improvements come from pushing the compression ratio to 11.3:1, from 10.2:1 before. Perhaps most impressive is that despite all of the innovations, the latest Pentastar actually weighs four pounds less than the current version. Beyond the Pentastar improvements, all of the FCA US gasoline engines, except for the Viper's 8.4-liter V10, will be E15-compatible for 2016. The company says that it wants to be ready for the higher ethanol content fuel's greater use in the near future.
