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

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.

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.

Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014

Thu, 27 Feb 2014

Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.

Gilles defends 2014 Jeep Cherokee design as "very contemporary"

Thu, 28 Feb 2013

Following the forced-hand introduction of the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, there has definitely been a mix of responses revolving around everything from its design to the return of the legendary nameplate. As evidence of this, just check out the 1,000+ comments in our article last week and some of the many opinions that were voiced. Following this not-too-warm reception, Ward's Auto had a chance to talk to Chrysler designer chief - and SRT president - Ralph Gilles, who shed a little more light on the styling direction of the new Cherokee.
Rather than looking to previous models for inspiration, Gilles says that the Cherokee has been designed to be more contemporary, with Mark Allen, head of Jeep design, adding that a main goal was to make sure the design still looks modern five years from now. Interestingly, Gilles does point out that one of the design elements incorporated on the new Cherokee that pays homage to past Jeeps is the sharply downward angle for the leading edge of the beltline, which he notes is meant to mimic the look of the old YJ and TJ Wrangler models fitted with half doors. Of course, the squared-off wheel openings - a signature Jeep cue - are still used.
This is probably a design that will need to be seen on the street in actual daylight to properly assess, but in the meantime, we'll bring you full images and impressions when the Cherokee debuts at next month's New York Auto Show.
