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

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.

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.

Fiesta-sized Jeep coming in 2014

Wed, 03 Jul 2013

We've heard rumors before about a new, baby Jeep to slot below the new-for-2014 Cherokee (pictured) in the automaker's lineup. Now, Edmunds is reporting that the new crossover will arrive sometime in 2014, and will be about the same size as the Ford Fiesta. This currently unnamed vehicle will effectively replace both the Compass and Patriot in the Jeep lineup.
Speaking to Edmunds, Jeep CEO Mike Manley said that the new, small Jeep will be assembled in Italy and marketed globally beginning sometime next year. Manley did not provide many details on the new model, but did say that it will be 4.2-meters (165 inches) long. The Cherokee, by comparison, is 4.6-meters long (181 inches). Furthermore, Edmunds reports that while the new small Jeep will offer diesel power in other markets, there are no plans for an oil-burning version here in the US.
Many other automakers are exploring this smaller crossover segment here in the US. General Motors recently launched the Buick Encore, which is loosely based on the Chevrolet Sonic subcompact's platform. Ford has already launched its Fiesta-based EcoSport in other markets, and has reportedly been pondering the idea of offering it in the US, as well.

This SEMA special drag race is absurdly awesome

Fri, Dec 5 2014

The SEMA Show came and went last month, and it showed us a ton of heavily modded goodies to dream about during the long, cold winter. The Motor Trend Channel on YouTube is keeping the party rolling a little longer, though, with a drag race inspired by the aftermarket event. All of the hosts were supposed to borrow a vehicle from the show for the big race, but only two of them actually cajoled companies into lending their wares. Still, the result includes four very cool and extremely different examples of the breadth of the automotive hobby. First up, there's a 1955 Chevrolet with a 535-cubic-inch (8.8-liter) Hemi V8 stuffed under the hood. Appropriately, it's dubbed the Blasphemi, and with skinny tires up front, fat rubber in the rear and a stripped interior, this this is made to go very fast in a straight line. Next, there's a stock Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat boasting 707 horsepower. Plus, host Jessi Lang has her dog riding shotgun for the race. A Chevy Sonic RS with some body mods, downpipe and intake is also competing. Finally, the most bizarre of the quartet is a custom 1958 Jeep Forward Control with a 5.7-liter Hemi V8 and treads to replace the wheels. Obviously, the Blasphemi and Hellcat are the only two that really have a chance of winning, but check out the video to see which one crosses the finish line first.

LA-bound 2014 Jeep Wrangler special edition gives us the Willys for $25,795

Mon, 18 Nov 2013

The Jeep Wrangler might be the reigning king of special editions, but with sales records being broken almost all year, this plan is obviously resonating with buyers. Joining new models like the Dragon Edition and Polar Edition, the 2014 Jeep Wrangler is adding a new Willys Wheeler Edition to pay homage to Jeep's military heritage.
Getting ready for its big debut at the LA Auto Show, the 2014 Jeep Wrangler Willys Wheeler Edition is inspired by early Willys CJ (Civilian Jeep) models with exclusive styling and upgraded off-road goodies. Starting with a Wrangler Sport, these upgrades include a Dana 44 rear axle with limited-slip differential and 3.73 gears, along with meaty BF Goodrich KM Mud Terrain tires mounted to the Willys Wheeler's black 17-inch wheels. For more of a classic Jeep look, this model adds a gloss black grille, "Willys" hood stickers and rock rails to protect the side sills. Jeep is also tossing in a D-ring, tow strap and gloves that are all kept in a special carrying bag.
When it goes on sale early next year, the Wrangler Willys Wheeler Edition will start at $25,795 for the two-door model, while the four-door will start at $29,595. There's an official press release posted below, and we'll be sure to have live images of the special-edition Wrangler live from the LA Auto Show floor later this week, so stay close.
