1999 Jeep Cherokee Sport 2 Door 218,640 Miles

This is a no reserve auction.  The highest bidder drives her away. For your consideration I present this loaded Jeep Cherokee in a very rare color with the one year only and one color only matching wheels (Only offered this way for 1999).  The two-door is very seldom seen.  And this Jeep Cherokee is equipped with the optional Select-Trac 4 wheel drive system, a full-time system that allows you to stay in four wheel on the open highway as well as to select part-time four wheel in both high and low range for full capability.

Don’t let the mileage fool you this Jeep has had every system sorted.  She is ready to roll and can be driven anywhere.  I only offer cars on Ebay that I have owned and driven myself and I have a 100% positive feedback record.  The Jeep has just about every option you could order on a two door Cherokee Sport back in 1999.  Power windows and locks, cruise control, lighted vanity mirrors, even a full size spare tire is included.  All the systems and electrical are working as they should.  I have added a modern disc radio with blue-tooth and hands free phone capability for better entertainment and the original cassette radio is also included.  I also put in a trail type seat that I hoped would be more comfortable than the original.  It isn’t, and the original seat will come with the vehicle if you wish to switch it back.  The car has never been off road during my ownership.  I added a top quality tow bar receptacle to carry a bike rack in.  The Jeep has never been used for towing.

I purchased this vehicle 4 1/2 years ago for use by my daughter while attending college in Northern Maine.  Much of the mileage was accumulated taking the long trip back and forth to there from western Connecticut.  I kept all systems maintained meticulously so that Madge (my daughter named her) would be a safe and reliable ride throughout the Jeep’s life with us.  The engine runs smooth and delivers all the power a 4 liter Jeep six should.  The transmission shifts through all gears as it should and the 4 wheel drive engages smoothly and operates well in all its modes.  There are no leaks or seepage from any of the seals and gaskets and the Jeep uses no oil between oil changes (done every 3,000 miles).  The air conditioning blows ice cold and was recently serviced.  A list of maintenance done is presented below.  4 new tires were put on at 215,217 miles.

Things needing attention: Madge has lived a colorful life in New England and some of it shows.  The underside of the vehicle has rust through in the passenger side floor and rust in the driver side floor as pictured.  The sub-frame is not rusted and is in good condition and the underbody is otherwise sound.  The floors will need to be fixed at some point but because the sub-frame goes right under them there is no danger of putting your feet through.  The Jeep is solid and drive-able as is. The body is in good condition as pictured but this is a 15 year old used Jeep so there are nicks and scratches here and there.  The passenger side drip rail molding was lost and replaced with an aftermarket type.  It is not original and not the right color but it is presentable.  I have not been able to find the original part but it is out there somewhere.  The Jeep encountered a bear several years ago and the front grill, bumper and moldings had to be replaced.  No structure damage occurred however. 

Maintenance List:

New hatch struts and latch mechanism

New Alternator

New Distributer Cap, Plug Wires, Rotor, Spark Plugs

New Rear Leaf Springs, Spring Shackles and Shock absorbers

New Power Steering Pump and New Belts

New Exhaust Manifold, New Exhaust Gasket and Connector Pipes

New Air Conditioning Compressor, New Air Conditioning Dryer

New Transmission Cooler Lines

Four New Tires (Less than 5,000 miles on the tires)

New Professionally Installed Windshield

This is only a partial list of maintenance items done.  The Jeep comes with a complete set of receipts for parts and labor done during the 4 1/2 years of my ownership.  As stated all systems are functioning and Madge is ready to drive.

This Jeep is located in Torrington, Connecticut and is to be picked up there.  The buyer must make all arrangements for shipping if the car is to be shipped.  If the winner wishes to fly in and drive the car home I can provide transportation from Bradley International Airport near Hartford, Connecticut or from other nearby airports upon request.  As mentioned the car is ready to go and I would feel confident hopping in and driving to San Francisco tomorrow.  Please feel free to ask any questions.  Happy bidding.

1.    Please be sure to have all monies (loans or financing approved or in place) before making your final bid. I appreciate your business and want to handle the transaction as smoothly and expeditiously as possible.

2.    I accept Certified & Cashier's Checks and Bank transfers in US Dollars only.

If the deposit is not received within 48 hours of the close of auction or if the balance is not paid in full within 5 days following the close of auction, I reserve the right to re-list the vehicle or to sell it to the next highest bidder or another qualified buyer. This does not allow you to cancel your contract, and you are still liable for damages if you breach.

5.    It is important to keep in mind that the vehicle listed is pre-owned, and it is very difficult to describe every small mark on it. As a consequence there may be additional wear on the vehicle that is typical of the age, such as superficial hairline scratches, small nicks and minor abrasions that are not indicated in the description or pictures. These factors will not detract from the overall appearance and value of the vehicle.

Consumer Reports no longer recommends Honda Civic

Mon, Oct 24 2016

Consumer Reports annual Car Reliability Survey is out, and yes, there are some big surprises. First and foremost? The venerable publication no longer recommends the Honda Civic. In fact, aside from the walking-dead CR-Z and limited-release Clarity fuel-cell car, the Civic is the only Honda to miss out on CR's prestigious nod. At the opposite end there's a surprise as well – Toyota and Lexus remain the most reliable brands on the market, but Buick cracked the top three. That's up from seventh last year, and the first time for an American brand to stand on the Consumer Reports podium. Mazda's entire lineup earned Recommended checks as well. Consumer Reports dinged the Civic for its "infuriating" touch-screen radio, lack of driver lumbar adjustability, the limited selection of cars on dealer lots fitted with Honda's popular Sensing system, and the company's decision to offer LaneWatch instead of a full-tilt blind-spot monitoring system. Its score? A lowly 58. The Civic isn't the only surprise drop from CR's Recommended ranks. The Audi A3, Ford F-150, Subaru WRX/STI, and Volkswagen Jetta, GTI, and Passat all lost the Consumer Reports' checkmark. On the flipside, a number of popular vehicles graduated to the Recommended ranks, including the BMW X5, Chevrolet Camaro, Corvette, and Cruze, Hyundai Santa Fe, Porsche Macan, and Tesla Model S. Perhaps the biggest surprise is the hilariously recall-prone Ford Escape getting a Recommended check – considering the popularity of Ford's small crossover, this is likely a coup for the brand, as it puts the Escape on a level playing field with the Recommended Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, and Nissan Rogue. While Ford is probably happy to see CR promote the Escape, the list wasn't as kind for every brand. For example, of the entire Fiat Chrysler Automobiles catalog, the ancient Chrysler 300 was the only car to score a check – there wasn't a single Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, Maserati, or Ram on the list. That hurts. FCA isn't alone at the low end, either. GMC, Jaguar Land Rover, Mini, and Mitsubishi don't have a vehicle on CR's list between them, while brands like Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Nissan, Lincoln, Infiniti, and Cadillac only have a few models each.

Woodward Dream Cruise Photo Gallery | Classics and American muscle

Sun, Aug 21 2022

The 2022 running of the Woodward Dream Cruise just went down, and we were there from morning to evening drinking in the sweet sights and pre-emissions exhaust fumes. Yes, it’s a little smelly on Woodward Ave. this time of year. Just like always, the Dream Cruise invites all comers to cruise their machines on Woodward from Ferndale, MI to Pontiac, MI. Everybody is invited, but the original intent of the Dream Cruise was to highlight classic American muscle cars. YouÂ’ll see plenty of those in our mega gallery above, but weÂ’ve sprinkled it with a bunch of other vehicle types, such as modern muscle and other intriguing American vehicles. Similar to years past, though, sometimes the classics arenÂ’t the most entertaining thing to look at on Woodward. ThatÂ’s why weÂ’ll have other mega galleries coming soon, highlighting the weird cars and (great) dogs of the Cruise, all the imports and exotics you can imagine and a special one for all the trucks of Woodward — perhaps even more so than in years past, the truck population on Dream Cruise day was quite high. Click through above to see all the classics you wouldÂ’ve seen had you been roadside on the day of the cruise. And if you missed this yearÂ’s event, make sure you check out what happens next year. You wonÂ’t be alone, as itÂ’s estimated that over 1 million people attend the Dream Cruise to either watch from the side of the road or to sit in the most glorious traffic jam in the world.

Chrysler accelerates Jeep recall repairs from 2018 to March

Thu, 17 Jul 2014



You may remember that Jeep's unusual fix for this recall involves fitting a trailer hitch.
The recall of about 1.5 million models of the 2002-2007 Jeep Liberty and 1993-1998 Grand Cherokee over fuel tanks may finish far sooner than originally estimated. In a new filing from Jeep's parent, Chrysler Group, with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the company says that it can complete the repairs for the affected vehicles by March 2015, much sooner than the previous estimate of sometime in 2018. Jeep predicts the total cost of the campaign will be around $151 million.
