 Jeep Cherokee Sport 4WD  A/C  Towing package  2000

We’re moving so need to sell our 2000 Jeep Cherokee Sport with 4 Wheel Drive; A/C works well; towing package.  This vehicle has a few dings, but is in good condition in and out.  Started as a federal government vehicle, so was well maintained for most of its life. It has 221,696 miles.

Everything works that we know of except:
1.  Rear passenger window sometimes works only with either the window control or the driver control, but not both at first.  
2.  Radio works; we have never tried the CD player.  
3.  Rear window defrost button must be held down for defrost function to work.  
4.  We took the ‘covers’ off the wheel wells since the over-size tires rubbed with a heavy load, but still have them if you want to put them back on.  Since the tires are too large, they rub against the side sometimes when reversing and make a grinding sound. This also happens when 4x4 is engaged. 
5.  Headliner is loose - it’s all still there, but is definitely loose.  
6.  It was idling a bit strangely for a while, but I think when the new coil pack was installed it helped the idle, because I haven’t noticed it idling strange for months.            
7.  The one noticeable area of damage is on the passenger side, in front of the rear wheel well and is noticeable; the other small dent is on the front driver fender and shows in the main photo.  Other dings and scratches as expected with age.
8.  One of the headlights is dim and needs to be replaced; we have a new one, but haven’t installed it yet.  
9.  If you let it idle too long, it will overheat (in the summer) so I think they were made with too small a radiator - had the same problem with a Ford once; it didn't overheat while driving it around.  
Otherwise, that we know of, everything is OK.  Interior is in good shape.  Original seat covers and carpeting are all in good shape.  Pulls a trailer with no trouble at all.  4WD works.  Tires are excellent.  There is virtually no rust - very light surface rust on some suspension - see photo.  Email for more photos.

We are not mechanics, car is as is. We have listed the problems we are aware of. We are currently using the car and have no problems with it, but have no idea how it will perform if driven a long distance (we drove it to Maine from New Jersey a year ago however, and it was fine apart from overheating a few times in traffic or when idling), especially in hot weather (due to the over-heating problem), so please be aware that practically ALL used cars will have something that may need to be repaired.

$200 deposit via paypal within 24 hours of close of bidding, the rest as cash on pickup which must be on or before the weekend of July 26/27th.  207-255-3839.  Advertised locally so we reserve the right to cancel bidding.

IF YOU CAN'T PAY THE DEPOSIT IN ONE DAY, AND THE REST OF THE AMOUNT WITHIN ONE WEEK, PLEASE DO NOT BID. IF WE DO NOT RECEIVE THE DEPOSIT ON TIME, CAR WILL BE RE-LISTED OR SOLD TO SOMEONE ELSE.

Please note that car is located in downeast Maine.

Please check description periodically in case we add anything new within the next few days. If listing suddenly ends, it's because it was sold locally.

Jeep in St. Louis hacked from Pittsburgh

Tue, Jul 21 2015

One of America's most popular vehicles contains a security flaw that allows hackers to remotely commandeer it from anywhere on the planet. Cyber-security researchers Chris Valasek and Charlie Miller say they've accessed critical vehicle controls on a 2014 Jeep Cherokee that allowed them to remotely control critical vehicle functions like braking, transmission function, and steering. Automakers have downplayed the possibility a car could be remotely compromised, but the significance of the findings detailed Tuesday could cause them to reevaluate the threats posed to hundreds of thousands of vehicles already on the road. A key finding – the pair needed no physical access to the Jeep to pull off the attack. Valasek and Miller accessed the controls via a security hole in the Sprint cellular connection to Chrysler's UConnect infotainment system. In the course of their research, Valasek sat in his Pittsburgh home and remotely manipulated Miller's Jeep as he drove along a highway outside St. Louis. If you know a car's IP address, they say, a hacker could control it from anywhere. "We didn't add anything, didn't touch it," Valasek told Autoblog. "A customer could drive one of these things off a lot, and they'd have no clue it had these open attack surfaces." Remotely, he disabled brakes, turned the radio volume up, engaged windshield wipers and tampered with the transmission. Further, they could conduct surveillance on the Jeep, measuring its speed and tracking its whereabouts. They conducted the experiments over multiple breaches. They made their findings public on the same day the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the federal agency in charge of vehicle safety, released its latest report on the readiness of government and automakers to fend off these sorts of cyber attacks. Later today, two US Senators are expected to introduce legislation that would help consumers better understand the potential risks of car hacking. In the early stages of their research, Valasek and Miller found a security flaw in the car's wi-fi that allowed them to remotely manipulate controls from a range of about three feet. But in recent months, they found another vulnerability in the Sprint cellular connection in the UConnect system. That was a key breakthrough. "Lo and behold, we found we could communicate with this thing using cellular, and then more research, and 'Holy cow,' we're using the Sprint network to communicate with these vehicles," Valasek said.

YouTube tallies votes for this year's top five Super Bowl spots [w/video]

Tue, 19 Feb 2013

When we asked you to tell us which of this year's 16 car-themed Super Bowl commercials you liked best, you chose the Farmer commercial from Chrysler Group, advertising the Ram trucks, over Audi's Prom commercial in second place. Turns out the voters in YouTube's Ad Blitz poll agreed, voting the same commercial to the number one spot from among the field commercials in every category.
From there, however, they went in a totally different direction. Budweiser's The Clydesdales spot came second, Samsung's The Next Big Thing took third. The Jeep Whole Again ad scored fourth in the YouTube poll, fifth in our poll of auto commercials, and the Hyundai Team spot got fifth from the YouTubers, but ninth in our poll.
The voting results don't match up with the viewing numbers, though - while Farmer has more than 13 million views, The Next Big Thing is well beyond 21 million. You can read the press release below and see all five spots, lined up for you, one more time.

2014 Jeep Cherokee: Long-term wrap-up [w/video]

Tue, Aug 11 2015

Sorry, Sweet Brown. Your place in Autoblog history as the most highly demanded long-term car has come to an end. We just finished a one-year test of a 2014 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk, and after 27,000 miles of hard use, one thing is very clear: this is one of the best all-rounders we've ever tested. The Jeep Cherokee isn't perfect, and our long-term tester proved that. But no compact crossover is. Still, the Trailhawk oozed personality where other small CUVs seem bland, and the Jeep felt more like a trusty companion than just another test car. For road trips, the requests weren't, "Can I have a long-term car this weekend?" They were specific: "I'd like the Cherokee, please." No matter the season, the driver, or the situation, the Jeep was always a sure fit. Fiat Chrysler bet big with this one. It had a global platform, a new engine, and one heck of a funny face. The end result was a CUV that we'd gladly welcome back into our fleet any day. View 51 Photos Our car carried a sticker price of $38,059, but that's without goodies like HID headlamps, a sunroof, or even full leather seats. Lots To Like Admittedly, we picked the Trailhawk trim for cosmetic reasons (more on it's off-road capability in a second). To this day, many of us still think the Cherokee is a homely little thing, but its inherent weirdness doesn't stand out as much when you add the black accents and big, knobby tires of the Trailhawk model. The butched-up look really works here, and we wouldn't have wanted the Jeep any other way. Of course, opting for Trailhawk package meant getting one of Jeep's more expensive Cherokees. Our car carried a sticker price of $38,059, but that's without goodies like HID headlamps (which we could have used – the halogens were pretty weak), a sunroof, or even full leather seats. This car genuinely felt premium, though. Right off the bat, the Cherokee received compliments for its comfortable, supportive seats, not to mention the high quality of interior materials and the general fit and finish. Specifically, the interior packaging won us over early on. We appreciated things like the higher-end stereo, smart layout of the center console, and ample storage, including a bin under the front passenger seat cushion. (That said, we also found that this bin becomes a catch-all for wrappers, french fries, and anything else that might get dropped on the seat.) The Uconnect infotainment system was a joy to use, never giving us any finicky problems or usability issues.
