I am selling my silver 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. It is the model with the 5.2 liter V8 TSI (two-stage injection) engine (link to technical specs at the bottom of the page). I have all the paperwork for all major repairs and oil changes/maintenance from when I bought the car in 2003 until now, as well as the title which is clean.

The car will be sold AS-IS, with no warranty. Any buyer is free to bring a mechanic to look at the car. The car runs, however, the power steering is non-operational at the moment. This because the power steering reservoir and high-pressure hose need to be replaced (the power steering pump works just fine). Therefor, the car would need to be towed (flatbed because of the AWD).

This is a great car that needs minor repairs to be operational.

History: Has never been in an accident, flooded, on fire, etc.

Miles: 133,179 (average of 7,800 per year)

Exterior Condition: No rust, scratches, or dents to the body. The rear bottom molding has a small crack (was there when I purchased the vehicle). Other than that the body of the car is pristine. The rear hatch no longer remains up on its own (pneumatic rods need to be replaced) The undercarriage shows normal rust that goes along with an older car driven in the northeast (winters and salt).

Interior Condition: Black leather throughout that shows normal wear for the year (cracking on driver side arm rest, slight wear on front seat leather). The ceiling matting sags in some areas. No stains throughout.

Features: Two-stage injection 5.2 liter V8 high performance engine, Quadra Trac (Jeep's all-wheel drive package), hood and window bug deflectors, power front seats, CD & cassette player, sunroof, AC, power windows, power locks, service displays screen.

Disclosures:

1.) The high-pressure power steering fluid hose needs to be replaced. The part is on hand and the procedure is minor.
2.) The power steering fluid reservoir needs to be replaced (~$70 part). The power steering pump still works and only the reservoir must be replaced (was punctured on one side during replacement of the high pressure hose)
3.) The passenger side front window is off the track (motor still works, the glass has just slipped off the track - window will go down but not back up).
4.) The speakers are original and no longer work (wiring and radio/cd player/cassette player all work - just needs new speakers)
5.) No spare tire - The spare was used when one of the other tires went flat. The rim was retained and is in the spare time compartment.

I consider the vehicle in 'Good' to 'Very Good' condition, in which case Kelley Blue Book value is around $3,100.

Jeep: 4x4ever

Mon, Feb 8 2016

Jeep is turning 75 this year, and it seems like the star of the Fiat Chrysler Automobiles brand stable has been making cool ads that run during the Super Bowl almost as long. (Yes, we know this was Super Bowl 50. We're exaggerating.) In this spot, all kinds of active sports and nature stuff that Jeep owners do (or least like other to think they do) is shown with every kind of Jeep, old and new. Here's to another 75 years.

Jeep Renegade's development a template for new Fiat Chrysler Auto

Wed, 24 Sep 2014

"We figured we'd take the best of both worlds." - Ralph Gilles.
The international makeup of the 2015 Jeep Renegade will serve as a template for cooperation within the newly formed Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Senior Vice President of Product Design Ralph Gilles said.

Chrysler investing $20M in Toledo plant to support 9-speed auto production

Sun, 28 Apr 2013

In 2011, Chrysler announced a $72-million investment in its Toledo Machining Plant to modernize production of the eight- and nine-speed torque-converters for automatic transmissions made there. That upgrade work won't be finished until Q3 of this year, but Chrysler has already announced a further $19.6-million investment to increase production capacity for the nine-speeders.
The extra units will be necessary because the nine-speed transmission they'll be mated to is going into three popular models: it will debut on the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, then go into the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Dart. The company predicted that this year alone it would sell 200,000 units equipped with the nine-speed tranny, and it is spending some $374 million in addition to the investment in Toledo to upgrade production capacity for it.
The work attached to this new investment won't begin until Q3 of 2014, and it will be finished by the end of that year. There's a press release below with all the details.
