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!

NHTSA investigating 2015 Jeep Cherokee after new owner's total-loss fire [w/video]

Fri, Jan 16 2015

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a Preliminary Evaluation into the 2015 model year Jeep Cherokee after a single example caught on fire in California. This investigation will decide the cause, scope and frequency of this possible problem and will decide whether a recall is necessary for 50,415 potentially affected examples. According to Automotive News, the Cherokee's owner only purchased the CUV about two days before the fire, and it had been driven less than 100 miles. The new buyer reported parking the Jeep, and noticed a smell like smoke. Shortly after, the vehicle was consumed in flames. There were no injuries, but much of the incident was captured on video. NHTSA is also trying to decide whether another report is related. In this case, a driver noticed smoke under the hood of a 2015 Cherokee with just 45 miles on it, while driving at 60 miles per hour. According to the complaint to the agency, "the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired," but FCA was notified. Read below NHTSA's announcement of the Preliminary Evaluation.

2018 Jeep Wrangler to get 8-speed auto

Mon, Nov 24 2014

Remember when the Jeep Wrangler had a three-speed automatic? That wasn't that long ago – as recent as the 2007 redesign – but Chrysler is keen to leave those days behind on the dusty trail. The current model ushered in a four-speed, then a five-speed, but the latest intel indicates that an eight-speed automatic is in the cards. According to a report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and cited by Automotive News, Jeep plans on fitting its eight-speed automatic transmission to the next-generation Wrangler. Chrysler already uses the ZF-sourced slushbox on the Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ram 1500, Chrysler 300, and versions of the Dodge Challenger, Charger and Durango. But according to the SEC filing, the Auburn Hills automaker intends "to use this transmission in all of our rear-wheel-drive vehicles, except for heavy-duty versions of the Ram pick-up truck and the SRT Viper." AN says that Chrysler wanted to slot the transmission straight into the current Wrangler, but it wouldn't fit. Between the transmission and shift to aluminum construction, the next-generation Wrangler promises to deliver a significant reduction in fuel consumption. In correspondence with Autoblog, however, company spokesmen declined to comment on the eight-speed's suitability towards either the current Wrangler or the upcoming one.

Chrysler Recalls 350K Vehicles To Fix Ignition Switches

Thu, Sep 25 2014

Chrysler is recalling nearly 350,000 cars and SUVs to fix ignition switches that could unexpectedly shut off the engines. The recall covers 2008 Jeep Commander and Grand Cherokee SUVs, Chrysler 300 and Dodge Charger sedans, and Dodge Magnum wagons. All were built before May 12, 2008. Chrysler says the ignitions may not fully return to the "on" position after being started. The switches could move to "accessory" or "off." That could shut off the engine and knock out power-assisted steering and other features. Chrysler knows of one crash and no injuries from the problem. It's telling people to use the key alone in the ignition and confirm that switches have returned to "on" after starting their cars. Chrysler is investigating the cause. Customers will be notified when repairs are ready. Related Gallery The Trucks And SUVs Consumers Are Liking Most View 11 Photos
