1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo, 99,410 miles. 2nd Owner, it was bought used in 2002. It has been well maintained and has been an incredibly reliable car. I take good care of my cars and this one is no exception. This one has been very lightly used over the last 5 years, driven once a week. The result is a mechanically sound, low-mileage car with a clean interior. It has never failed a North Carolina state inspection. My other cars are Mercedes, and I had my usual Mercedes mechanic inspect this recently, he said its in great shape and sees no problems. The only thing he mentioned was that the usual rubber suspension joints (ball joint, bushings, etc) could optionally be replaced. This is a smoke-free vehicle.

Pros:

New tires
Clean interior
New battery
Alpine CD player
Low miles, its very hard to find one of these w/ less than 100,000 miles on it.
No fluid leaks whatsoever.
A/C blows very hard and cold, no problem whatsoever with it.
Windows all work perfectly
Interior overall very clean
Catalytic converter replaced 10,000 miles ago, so no rattling.
Oil changes every 3,000 miles religiously

Issues:

The tail-gate does not open. I was rear-ended in a low-speed collision and it broke the latch mechanism. There is a minor cosmetic dent in the tailgate, as well as the bottom right side of the rear bumper. There is no other damage from the incident. The rear-window DOES still function correctly, but it needs new shocks to hold it open.
Rear auto-door locks don't work, need to be locked and unlocked manually. Front 2 door locks perfectly, this is only the rear passenger doors.
The interior headliner is coming loose around the edges, a very common problem with older jeeps.

About me, I have been buying and selling on ebay for over 15 years and have perfect feedback. I always do my best to disclose the pros and cons of every item, and to take high quality pictures so the buyer knows what he or she will be getting.

ATTENTION: Zero-feedback bidders must email me within 24 hours of placing a bid or the bid will be cancelled. All zero-feedback bids on the final day will be canceled. The winning bidder must be able to meet me within 72 hours of the end of the auction to pick up the car.

Cash Only - I know it lists Money Order as an option, but that was a mistake and eBay won't let me delete that.

Please feel free to email me with any questions. Thanks for looking.

Jeep Grand Cherokee in headliner fire probe

Fri, 23 Aug 2013

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is launching an investigation into 146,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs from the 2012 model year, The Detroit News reports. This comes as the result of the government safety agency receiving three complaints from owners who cited fires inside the Jeep's cabin.
According to the report, NHTSA says:
"The customers reported a burning odor and visible smoke coming from the headliner while the vehicle was being driven. This was followed by flames from the headliner itself. Customers lowered the windows in an effort to clear the smoke but this increased the fire's intensity. All three vehicles had to be extinguished with a fire extinguisher or by the fire department as they continued to burn after the vehicle was turned off."

Maserati Levante crossover not Jeep based after all?

Thu, 20 Feb 2014

Maserati has been teasing its crossover project since 2011, which is when it first showed off the Kubang concept (pictured above). Still, the production version, rumored to be called the Levante, remains a complete mystery. The CUV was first rumored to borrow the platform from the Jeep Grand Cherokee, but new rumors indicate that the Italian, luxury crossover might actually take the underpinnings from the Quattroporte and Ghibli.
In a brief interview, Maserati CEO Harald Wester told CNN Money that the Levante wouldn't use Jeep's platform. Motor Trend spoke with an unnamed Maserati engineer who confirmed the rumor. Officially, the company says that no decision has been made.
We can add this to another long list of rumors about the Italian CUV. It was originally supposed to be built at Chrysler's Jefferson North assembly plant in Detroit. Then, plans were changed to build it in Italy.

Jeep mulling power top for next Wrangler

Fri, 07 Mar 2014

Jeep is hard at work on the next-generation Wrangler, though the truck is still a few years from hitting the trails. The new model will still be aimed at off-roaders, but rumors suggest it will be a little more comfortable than previous versions to appeal to more people.
According to Road and Track, Jeep is developing a power-retractable top as an expensive option for the Wrangler. There is no word if the top in question is a sliding canvas rollback like the ones found on many European vehicles or a full convertible hardtop or softtop, nor do we know whether it would be made available on two- or four-door models. It might be a nice feature for some buyers but would certainly add complexity to a truck already known for its ruggedness. We asked Jeep for confirmation, but Jeep spokesperson Todd Goyer could only remind us that the company "can't comment about future products."
In news that is likely to irk the faithful, R&T reports the next model may also ditch its folding windshield for improved safety and possibly even get rid of its rear-mounted, full-size spare tire. The new Wrangler won't go completely soft, though, and will reportedly still feature removable doors and solid axles.
