You are about to bid on one of the most well kept 13 year old vehicles you have ever seen!  Clean carfax, NO accidents, the report shows four owners, but it has only had two!  The original owner took delivery of the vehicle, brand new from Bermont Motors Jeep dealer in Gilbertsville, PA on a three year lease.  At the end of the term, he purchased the vehicle (shows as owner 2 on carfax), he drove it for several more years before gifting it to his Daughter and her husband (owner 3 on carfax) and then I purchased the vehicle from her (owner 4 on carfax).  The lady told me her father continued to service and maintain the vehicle for her throughout her ownership.  I have extensive service records on this vehicle along with every receipt, even for items as small as wiper blades.  


The original owner had a tow hitch professionally installed to tow a small 5x8 trailer, no heavy towing at any point throughout the jeep's life.

The body has NO rust, the rocker panels are solid and are in the original state, NEVER repaired.  (See pictures)

The engine is strong, has NO noises whatsoever and doesn't consume or leak oil.

The transmission shifts smoothly, and at the proper RPM's.

The Four wheel drive system is in excellent condition and engages as it should.

Everything in the vehicle works as it should including the power locks and windows.  The passenger front window still works well but is slightly slower to raise than the other three.

Current PA state inspection, tires have well over half their tread left, brakes are strong too.

Although I never use A/C, I did turn it on to see if it works and the compressor kicked right on, the air was cool but could probably use a charge.

The interior is exceptionally clean with no heavy stains or smells.  NON-smoker, carpets have no wear, headliner is in great condition, and the Jack and tools appear to never have been used.  The steering wheel is in great shape showing minimal wear.  The cloth seats have no rips/tears or stains, they are in great shape.

The jeep comes with two keys, two remotes, original owner's manual, Factory window sticker!, Two new front OEM Jeep rubber slush mats, and all four original carpeted mats.

Overall, the body shows minimal wear, some scratches on the rear bumper, a few minor door dings on the driver side, and a few small scratches here and there but nothing terrible by any means.

I replaced the shocks that hold the tailgate up, the air filter and oil were also recently changed along with the spark plugs.

Throughout its life, it has been owned by two families, consistently maintained at the jeep dealer and by an independent mechanic shop.  It drives strong and is very stable at 80mph on the highway, no shakes or wobbles whatsoever.  Owned in the suburbs, NEVER a city vehicle and NEVER off road, NEVER abused.  This is a clean example of a well cared for vehicle in its original condition.  The CD player/radio is original from Jeep, NOT a goofy aftermarket unit like in many other jeeps for sale.

Although I have tried to describe everything accurately, I am happy to answer any questions you may have!  Oh, one more thing, all four tires are Goodyear wranglers, however the right rear alloy wheel is a slightly different style than the other three.  I didn't notice until after I bought it, it is barely noticeable.  All four alloy wheels are OEM original jeep wheels, one is a mismatched style.  This is a cheap and easy fix, you can buy a matching fourth alloy wheel off ebay for around $50.

This vehilce is for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction at any time if the vehicle sells.

I am a private seller, I don't offer any type of warranty, this vehicle is being sold AS-IS with NO warranties expressed nor implied.

Fires, deaths continue after Jeep fuel tank recall

Wed, Feb 11 2015

As Kayla White slowed her SUV behind two other cars to exit a suburban Detroit freeway on Veterans Day, it was rammed from behind by a Cadillac STS. Her red 2003 Jeep Liberty bounced off a Nissan in front of it, rolled onto its side and exploded in flames. Other drivers ran to help but were forced back by the heat. Firefighters arrived in just three minutes but were too late. White, a 23-year-old restaurant hostess who was eight months pregnant, died of burns and smoke inhalation. White is one of more than 70 people killed in fires involving older Jeeps with plastic fuel tanks mounted behind the rear axle. Fiat Chrysler, which makes Jeeps, recalled 1.56 million of them in June 2013 under pressure from US safety regulators. But only 12 percent of the SUVs have been repaired in the 18 months since the recall, a much slower pace than usual. And White's Jeep was not among those fixed. Last week, prosecutors charged the Cadillac driver with committing a moving violation that caused a death. But safety advocates and the lawyer for White's family say the blame belongs as much, if not more, on Chrysler and an auto-industry safety system that moves too slowly to prevent tragedy. The rear-mounted tanks have little structure to protect them if struck from behind, making them susceptible to punctures and fires. Moving the gas tank in front of the axle would be expensive and difficult. So Chrysler's remedy involved installing trailer hitches on the rear of the Jeeps as an extra layer of protection. Government testing showed the hitches protected the tanks in crashes up to 40 mph when stationary Jeeps were hit from behind. But at higher speeds, they wouldn't help. White tried to get the repair done a few weeks before her death but was told by a Jeep dealer that parts weren't available, according to Gerald Thurswell, her family's lawyer. He wouldn't identify the dealership, and his contention could not be independently verified by The Associated Press. Thurswell contends the gas tank ruptured, spilling fuel that touched off the fire. A Chrysler spokesman expressed sympathy to White's family but said the company had no written proof that she asked a dealer about the recall. Two crash reconstruction experts interviewed by the AP say gas wouldn't have spilled from White's Jeep if the tank had been mounted in front of the rear axle. Both say a hitch might have prevented the tank from being damaged, but because both vehicles were in motion, neither expert could say for sure.

Airbag fault on 1M recalled Jeeps getting second look from NHTSA [UPDATE]

Mon, 02 Jun 2014

UPDATE: Here is the statement we received from Chrysler regarding NHTSA's query: "Chrysler Group LLC advised the National Highway Traffic Administration of the six reports and, in accordance with the Company's long-standing practice, is cooperating fully with the resulting investigation. Customer safety is paramount at Chrysler Group. Customers who are concerned may call 1-800-853-1403."
It appears that Jeep's repairs for nearly one million Grand Cherokees from 2002-2004 and Liberty models from 2002-2003 might not be over yet. The vehicles were first recalled in November 2012 because the front airbags could suddenly deploy without being in an accident. Now, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening a recall query into them because of reports of inadvertent activation on some already corrected vehicles.
The original problem affected over 919,000 vehicles worldwide, including 744,822 in the US, and was caused by a degrading circuit in the wires that control the airbags. In some cases the airbag warning light would come on just before the premature activation, but in other cases it would just happen. The automaker installed an "in-line jumper harness with an integrated electrical filter" meant to eliminate the power spikes believed to be the cause.

Jeep Wrangler diesel likely after 2015 model refresh

Thu, 28 Feb 2013

We automotive journalists aren't always the right people to ask about whether a US-spec vehicle should or should not be offered with a diesel powertrain (hint: the answer is usually "YES"). But when it comes to the iconic, off-road-ready Jeep Wrangler, we aren't the only ones who have been clamoring for an oil-burning engine behind that famous seven-slat grille. To that end, it appears there's good news on the horizon, as Jeep CEO Mike Manley recently told Ward's Auto that the "Wrangler is on the radar to get (a) diesel."
"I'm confident that the Grand Cherokee will show just how large a demand there is for diesel, and I think what that will do is reinforce the need for us to target Wrangler as a vehicle that can take a diesel," Manley told Ward's. The most rugged of Jeeps is scheduled to get an overhaul around 2015-16, and the diesel powertrain will likely be introduced around that time.
This year alone, Chrysler will be adding a diesel engine to the Grand Cherokee SUV, as well as the Ram 1500 pickup and Promaster utility van.
