Check the AutoCheck score in the pictures, it is excellent. 
VIRTUALLY NO RUST. I have had a hand full of people come check the Jeep out, and agree that the Jeep is in Very Good Condition. (Kelley Blue Book)

Since I have owned it I have had almost $2,500 worth of parts replaced:
- New throttle position sensor
- New centrifugal water pump
- 4 new all-season extra large tires
- New exhaust manifold
- New front headlights

The last time the transmission and break have been checked was in 2011, and then they were in excellent condition. The last time I had an emission check done was around January 2012, and it passed.

As far as extra's are concerned:
- Ski/Snowboard hitch
- Bike hitch
- Bikini tops (Tan & Grey)
- Tow Package
- Rubber floor mats from "Husky"
- Steering wheel bar lock
- Spare tire lock
- Bedding (tan colored)

I brought the Jeep from California, all the original stickers are still on it. 
It still has the original owner's manual and other paper work. The pervious owners and myself have kept all paperwork regarding tests and repairs.
There was an antitheft system installed according to one of the stickers.
There are some minor chips on the paint (see image of closeup of the front of the vehicle).
I have kept the original Californian license plates.
It has been owned by non smokers.
I bought this car with minor front right bumper damage, and coincidentally got into a minor third party accident in November of 2011, where the front right bumper was also scraped. The other person's insurance company spent a total of $3,000 on having the right body completely replaced; 
- Front bumper rail
- Right front bumper extension
- Right front fender
- And more parts

The car runs perfectly! It is now in excellent shape. I am sad to have to sell it because I did invest a lot of time and money into the car, but I have to sell it because my education here in the USA is almost at and end and am planning to move back to Europe. 

If you have any further questions about my Jeep, or wish to negotiate another price, please feel free to email me!

Chrysler recalling 644k more Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs over brakes

Wed, 02 Apr 2014

Early last month, we reported on Chrysler issuing a preemptive, proactive recall for about 25,000 units of the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango. The issue revolved around a brake system that wasn't causing any actual problems, but delivered an unsatisfactory brake feel, so Auburn Hills called in a good 25,000 of SUVs around the world, including 18,700 in the United States.
Now Chrysler, having apparently determined that the brake problem on its sport utes is actually much bigger than it initially realized, has drastically broadened the scope of the recall. As a result, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for precisely 655,354 examples of the Grand Cherokee and Durango, covering the 2011 through 2014 model years. In addition, Chrysler is recalling 42,380 units in Canada, 21,376 in Mexico and 159,685 overseas.
The problem which Chrysler found revolves around the brake booster, whose center shell has been found to be subject to corrosion, allowing water to get into the brake system. That water in turn could freeze, preventing the brakes from working as well as expected.

Chrysler recalling over 200k vehicles across its brands

Wed, 10 Apr 2013

With more than 200,000 units across six separate recalls and almost all of its brands, it appears that Chrysler has officially jumped headfirst into the recall pool this month. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued three official recalls for the automaker, and The Detroit News is reporting that the automaker itself has announced three more.
The biggest of the recalls applies to about 120,000 Dodge Charger, Dodge Challenger and Chrysler 300 models for 2011 and 2012 due to faulty wiring harnesses for the seat-mounted side airbags, which could lead to these airbags not deploying in the event of a crash. A little more than 60,000 two-wheel-drive versions of the 2007-2008 Dodge Nitro and 2008 Jeep Liberty SUVs are being recalled due to a heat shield that could cause the driveshaft to break, which if that isn't bad on its own, could then hit underneath where the airbag sensor is mounted, causing the airbags to deploy. Wrapping up NHTSA's recall notices, about 20,000 Jeep Patriot and Jeep Compass models for 2012 are also being recalled due to a problem with the fuel tank transfer tube that could lead to the vehicle stalling. The LX car recall campaign is going into effect this month, while the other two will start next month - all three notices are posted below.
In addition to the official NHTSA recalls, The Detroit News is also reporting that Chrysler is recalling more than 16,000 Ram trucks and a small number of Dodge Dart sedans. Around 6,500 2013 Ram 1500 trucks will be recalled due to an improper adjustment of the parking brake cable from the factory, while 7,000 Cummins-powered 2013 Ram Heavy Duty trucks are being recalled due to an engine cover that does not have as much heat resistance as it is supposed to. Finally, a total of 46 Dodge Dart sedans are being recalled due to a problem with the brake calipers and/or parking brake.
