The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"My Jeep was stolen and I got it back. 1997 Black Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4.0L. 108,000 miles. The car runs like a champ, has black Crager wheels and almost brand new BF Goodrich Radial T/A's on it. Less than 2k on the tires. The front and rear brake pads and rotors are new. Engine runs strong. Trans and transfer case shift perfectly and there are no leaks. I was planning on keeping this truck until some sc**bag stole it. The ignition switch/column is broken and you have to start the car with a screwdriver. (a new column is $70 dollars on ebay) The only other thing that happened is some brake fluid spilled on the rear seats and carpet destroying them. New rear seats are cheap ($25 on ebay) It could use new floor mats to cover up the rear carpets. The check engine light comes on sometimes and the left rear window does not roll down, but overall a solid truck to repair or for parts- drivetrain is excellent. I hate to see it go and I planned on keeping it for years."

Like I said- I really hate to see my baby go like this- it has been a really good car for me, and will be the right car for someone out there. Just to be up front- the car was STOLEN and the cops recovered it. They crooks did no damage to the outside, but they did break the ignition switch and steering column to get it started. I had a bottle of brake fluid in the back and they spilled it all over the rear seat bottoms and the rear carpet. I have a clean title for it. The left rear window does not roll down, the AC does not blow cold, the horn sounds like a dying duck, and the check engine light comes on for a week or 2 and then goes off for a week or 2. It has been doing this for at least 6 years and has never let me down. Starts every time and runs strong. The drivetrain and suspension are great. The brakes are new and the tires are also new. I use my motorcycle to get to work 95% of the time and only use this truck when the weather is bad. The car has never been in an accident as far as i can tell, but there are dings and dents on the panels. All the glass is perfect. Like I said- this truck is DEFINITELY NOT FOR EVERYONE. You need to replace the column (or keep using the screwdriver to start it), and should replace the rear seat bottoms. These parts are cheap and are easy to replace, but I don't feel like doing it. My loss is your gain. This truck is cheap and would make a great work truck, or put a plow on it. You cannot get this thing stuck in the snow- I've tried! May also be a good platform for an off road rig, or a parts donor for a project.

The Battery is less than 1 year old, and the plugs, cap, rotor, and wires were done 5k ago. She ain't pretty, but she gets the job done. I've had it for almost a decade and only put 4-5,000 miles a year on it. I has never been abused and the oil has been changed every 3000 miles. Wipers and heater work great. Only 108k on the engine- these 6 Cylinder engines are good for double that. I have set a low reserve price- the tires alone were $700.00!

Please note this is for pick up only- I can cannot deliver it or help you ship it.

Any questions, please don't hesitate to write- Thank you for looking!

FCA expands Jeep Cherokee recall to 68k more vehicles

Wed, May 13 2015

FCA is expanding its airbag software update for the 2014 and 2015 Jeep Cherokee to cover 68,593 more of the vehicles worldwide. This brings the total to 316,774 Cherokees. Of those, there are now 230,240 in the US, 28,110 in Canada, 6,367 in Mexico, and 52,057 outside of NAFTA. According to the automaker, after reviewing the potentially affected population, it discovered these additional Cherokees in need of the upgrade. The original campaign to repair these vehicles was announced in early February. Engineers found a small number of cases where dramatic changes to the angle of the vehicle that upset its balance caused the side-curtain and seat-mounted side airbags to deploy because they anticipated a rollover. This especially occurred when driving off-road. According to FCA, there're no additional reports of this happening, and the company isn't aware of any injuries or accidents. The fix is simply a software upgrade that recalibrates the airbags' deployment. Related Video: Statement: Restraint-System Software Upgrade May 12, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is expanding by an estimated 62,148 vehicles its recall of U.S.-market SUVs** to upgrade air-bag software. The action follows a routine review of the originally reported vehicle population by FCA US engineers. There have been no additional incidents and FCA US is unaware of any related injuries or accidents. The campaign will upgrade software that governs side-curtain and seat-mounted side air bags following a small number of inadvertent deployments – most of which occurred in harsh, off-road environments. They were prompted by maneuvers that dramatically changed the vehicles' angle of operation, relative to the ground, and the air-bag systems Â– sensing potential rollover conditions Â– automatically activated. The software upgrade will recalibrate the threshold for deployment and the vehicles will remain compliant with all applicable safety regulations. Affected are certain 2014 and 2015 Jeep Cherokees. The revised estimate for the U.S. totals 230,240. Revised estimates for other markets are as follows: 28,110 in Canada; 6,367 in Mexico and 52,057 outside the NAFTA region. The revised global total is 316,774 Â– a difference of 68,593. The Company will notify affected customers. Software will be available at that time.

2013 AEV Brute Double Cab

Fri, 11 Jan 2013

These are the guys who bring an M777 howitzer to a knife fight. In terms of overall rugged utility, the all-new 2013 Brute Double Cab from American Expedition Vehicles (AEV) is about as overkill as they come, and we can't seem to get enough of the beasts that this company produces. Unlike most aftermarket firms, always striving to lower cost and increase volume (but at the expense of quality), Michigan-based AEV takes pride in its OEM-quality design, engineering, manufacturing and testing. Everything is as good, or better, than the stuff from the factory, and they have been doing it this way for more than 15 years.
Launched at the recent 2012 SEMA show was the 2013 AEV Brute Double Cab. Its debut marked the company's expansion to a four-door Brute on the newer JK platform (drawing inspiration from the Land Rover Defender 130). I recently spent a few hours with the new truck in sunny Southern California, though unfortunately, due to time constraints, I was limited to pavement-only driving impressions.

Watch a Cayenne Turbo S, Range Rover SVR, and Cherokee SRT drag race

Thu, Mar 17 2016

We live in a weird world where high-performance SUVs could win a 60-mile-per-hour sprint against sports cars from just a few years ago. Here, Top Gear sets up a three-way drag race against the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S, Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR, and Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT, and the results show just how quickly these high-riding models can cross the quarter mile. The Cherokee SRT is the patriotic choice among the three, but it's down on power in this fight. Meanwhile, the Range Rover's menacing growl sounds the best, and the Cayenne Turbo S has the most horsepower. You'll have to watch the video to see which SUV will win this battle. Related Video:
