Introducing an extraordinary find: a 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 4.0I6 RWD SUV with a shockingly low 33,286 miles since new. This vehicle is a one-owner gem, preserved in sunny Bonita Springs, Florida, from March 1997 until recently, ensuring it has never been exposed to harsh, rust-inducing winter conditions. Now available at our dealership in Victoria, Texas, this Jeep remains free from the dreaded rust that plagues so many of its counterparts.
The 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited is a highly sought-after model, revered for its blend of luxury, reliability, and off-road capability. This particular example is an exceptionally well-optioned vehicle, featuring the legendary 4.0L Inline-6 engine paired with a smooth 4-speed automatic transmission. Known for its durability and performance, this engine is celebrated as one of the best Jeep engines ever made.
This 1997 model benefits from the extensive revisions and improvements introduced in the 1996 model year, making it one of the most desirable years to buy. The 1996 mid-cycle restyling brought new front and rear bumpers, side cladding, a larger front grille, new aluminum-alloy wheel options, and an entirely new interior featuring a front passenger side airbag and revised interior fabrics. Additional updates included a combination AM/FM stereo with CD players, and a new steering wheel with integrated cruise control buttons. The front seats were upgraded, along with new door panels, interior trim panels, and a more spacious glove box. Revised headlamps and integrated fog lamps enhanced the exterior, while a new remote keyless system and faux wood interior trim added to the luxury. The vehicle also featured an OBD II diagnostics port, a digital odometer and trip odometer, a 120 mph speedometer, and user-programmable features for the remote keyless system. These enhancements were carried over to the 1997 model, ensuring that buyers benefit from all these significant upgrades.
Step inside this Jeep, and you’ll be greeted by a pristine Mist Gray leather interior that appears to be in unbelievably great condition, complemented by a luxurious Flame Red exterior that almost looks as if it just rolled out of a time capsule. This Limited Edition model comes with a host of factory features and upgrades, including an electronic AM/FM stereo radio with premium factory upgraded Infinity Gold speakers in six locations, a graphic equalizer, and a 120-watt amplifier. The Limited Quick Order Package, a $1,290 upgrade when new, includes an AM/FM compact disc, dual front heated seats, and a power sunroof with a mini-overhead console.
The attention to detail in this vehicle is evident with the inclusion of its original owner's manual with a leather pouch and high-quality Michelin Cross Climate tires (LT225/75R16) that are in remarkable shape, dated 2023. There are no mechanical warning lights illuminated on the dashboard, and the A/C blows cold, ensuring a comfortable driving experience. The digital information display works great, as shown in the accompanying pictures.
This Jeep is not just about luxury; it’s also about functionality. It comes equipped with cruise control with steering wheel-mounted buttons, a full-sized spare tire in the trunk, a retractable trunk cover, and a cargo net. The Jeep’s extensive revisions and improvements from the 1996 model year are inherited by this 1997 model, making it one of the most desirable years to buy. These enhancements include a refined interior, advanced safety features, and improved performance, all contributing to its status as a premium vehicle.
The Jeep Grand Cherokee ZJ series, produced from 1993 to 1998, has earned a reputation as a reliable and capable 4x4.
