I buy/sell 4X4 oil/gas industry fleet trucks and ship them all over the world which is not super exciting but sometimes my business enables me to get my hands on some uniaue older vehicles that I appreciate like this low mile, rust free 97 Jeep Cherokee Classic. These are fantastic little 4x4 vehicles, super reliable, very popular here in the high (no pun intended) Colorado mountains. My wife and I own 3 of them and we just love em. If you are local (and a real buyer) I urge you to inspect this Jeep in person, it will impress you as it does me and it deserves a new owner that will take care of and appreciate it.
Please read all of the ad below before calling me with questions or offers. I'll always give you blunt, candid answers, I'm happy to photograph anything you would like to see closer as time allows.
I reserve the right to end this auction at anytime without warning as this Jeep is for sale locally.

The Good Stuff:
This low mile Jeep came to me out of Texas, was fleet maintained, lightly used, never off road, adult driven, never abused. Equipped with a very strong 4.0 Liter High Output 190HP engine, 4WD, automatic transmission, AC, power steering, new tires, clean original gray cloth interior, non smoker, fresh oil change, good clean glass all around, and more. The body/chassis on this Cherokee is completely rust free and very straight. This Jeep is my current daily driver, its a very good Jeep, it starts, runs, drives, shifts and stops excellent in every way, very tight and smooth, has been extremely reliable, I would not hesitate to jump in and drive it anywhere.
The Not So Good Stuff:
This Jeep is 20 years old so there are some negative things to be expected, most in this case are only cosmetic. I am being very "nit-picky" on some of this stuff no matter how small because I value my reputation/feedback and no one likes "surprises" buying a car on-line.
The AC does not blow cold, its like 73 degrees here so I have not taken time to diagnose it, probably just needs to be charged.
The center console does not latch
There is an antenna mount on the roof (see photos)
The fender flares are very sun faded, a common Jeep issue (see photos)
There are a couple scratches/scrapes here and there where signage was removed from both doors (see photos)
I recently removed the POS battery cable and afterward the airbag light came on, another common Jeep issue
The factory stereo sometimes only plays AM, hit a bump and FM comes back, hit another bump and who knows, another common Jeep issue
There is a small chip in the windshield, it has been professionally repaired and should not spread
There is a door ding in the bottom of the passenger door
There are a couple small stains on the back seat, will likely come out with a little elbow grease
There is a scratch on the hood that has been touched up, maybe 3 inches long, I could not get it to photograph on white paint
There is a very small hole on top of the driver's seats (see photo)
There are a couple holes in the side of the console and in one of the dash bezels from previous communication equipment (see photos)
The lense is missing from the overhead light.
The bottom door seals needs to be "buttoned back up" (see photos)
Aside from the above list and some overall to be expected age related normal used 103K 20 years old Jeep type stuff this is an excellent rig, hard to find in this condition and it will make someone very happy to own it...
I love playing with old 4x4s, am a really good guy, straight up, honest, I value my feedback and reputation, below is some of my recent feedback on vintage 4x4s, trucks and Harleys

Shipping: I ship trucks all over the world and have the ability to arrange wholesale shipping anywhere in the USA at your expense. I can ship this vehicle to Denver for $200, most places from there at approx. .50 - .70 cents a mile depending on size/weight but sometimes way less if the vehicle is small and light. I am more than happy to pick you up at the Durango CO airport if you choose to fly in and drive this vehicle home.
This vehicle is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end this auction at anytime without warning. This is a used car/truck, is sold as is, where is, with no warranty, stated or implied. If you are a Colorado resident you will have to pay Colorado sales tax appropriate for your area, contact me for an exact amount.
I'm a small family owned business with a stellar reputation. I specialize in rust free, oil/gas industry 4x4 fleet trucks, diesels, duallys, flatbeds, vintage 4X4s etc and ship them all over the world. The cost to list a vehicle on eBay is staggering, if I list it, I want to sell it, make me a reasonable offer, if the numbers work, you will own it with an easy transaction and zero hassle. I do not believe in "hidden" fees, doc fees etc. I firmly believe that customer service and communication is key, my feedback and huge volume of repeat business proves it again and again.
I'm always available, call me on my cell at 602 435 2110 or email at bozwell13@hotmail.com Jim
