Selling a 1996 Jeep Cherokee with 172K on the odometer. It’s been a great vehicle for us, but it’s time for it to go to a new home. We are the second owner of the Cherokee, first owner was a naval aviator who had it from 1996 until the end of 2011—the Cherokee spent its time in California, Maryland, Virginia, and Florida. We bought it two-and-a-halfnyears ago, but now our children are in college and we’re doing some downsizing of our vehicles. This Jeep has been well taken care of and really has done no extreme off-roading.

Here are the particulars of the Jeep.

1996 Cherokee four doors – body is in great shape, there is no rust. I will note that the driver’s door has some dent damage, although the door opens and closes with no problem. I have included a picture of the door so you can see the dents.

The previous owner did some cutting on wheel wells to accommodate larger tires. He did a great job and it looks well-done. See the pictures.

Color – Red, this Cherokee was kept inside most of its life, so the paint is in pretty good shape. There is some peeling along the front fender, but for an older vehicle the paint is in good shape. It cleans up really well.

4.0 liter six cylinders engine, in absolutely great condition. It pulls strong, no smoke at all, this motor had oil changes every 3,500 miles.

Transmission – 5 speed, pretty rare in Cherokees. We put a new clutch in about 10K mile ago and being an older transmission, we put in Redline MT-90 transmission fluid.

Gearing – This Cherokee is geared low, max speed in 1^st is about 10mph and the Jeep in 2H maxes out at 65 mph. It’s geared great for the out-of-doors. No problem engaging the four wheel drive in 4H or 4L.

Suspension – Four inch high country lift, well-done and we put it on the rack recently to make sure everything was tight underneath.

Wheels – Goodyear Wranglers on American Racing centerline rims. Tires are LT 265/75R16s. They have @12K miles on them; they’re in really good shape. We have a full size spare on the rear swing arm.

Interior – Light gray in pretty good shape, no stains or tears on the upholstery. The driver’s seat is showing wear and some cracks on the side, but it is serviceable.

Maintenance – Both owners religiously followed the maintenance. In the last 5K miles we replaced the starter, battery, and installed a better Flow Kooler water pump. On the dashboard we installed a water temperature gauge.

Extras:

· Spare tire swing arm with a fully mounted spare

· Driving lights on separate switch in the front and twin back up lights on another switch – it’s great to have these lights when you out in the wilderness at night.

· Class three tow hitch with ball.

· Side rocker panels to assist step up if needed – these are legitimate well built steel side steps bolted on, not cheap cosmetic ones that break.

· Roof rack

· CD radio with six foot antennae

· Virginia safety inspection good through March 2015.

· There are no leaks with this vehicle, the transmission seals are tight.

Don’t hesitate to send me an e-mail with questions. It’s a great vehicle, a lot of fun, and you’ll get many positive looks and comments.

Here are some questions I answered a previous time I put the Jeep up for auction (I had a buyer who never completed the sale)

Answers to Questions

Q:	Hi I have had these Jeeps in the past and like them. Just a couple of questions. 1. Does this problem with thee drivers door let much air blow in? 2. How does the heater work, since I live in IL? 3. Do you think this Jeep would make it back to IL if I drove it back? 4. Thanks for any and all info. Matt and Mary	Jan-23-14
A:	1 - Not much air comes through the driver's door, I feel some on a cold winter day, but not much. The other three doors are tight. 2 - Heater works great, so does the air conditioning. When it s 20 degrees here, the Cherokee is warm in the cabin within 5 to 7 minutes. 3 - Well, I have driven to Virginia Beach about 400 miles round trip with no problems. IL you can make, but this beast likes to go 60-65 mph on the Interstate, so it will be a 12 hour trip for you. Thanks for the questions.
Q:	Very interested and hoping to make purchase of Jeep in next week to 10 days. Can you provide more info on "severe" damage accident in 2012. Also, if you give me a sense of what you are hoping to get for the Jeep, I can quickly determine if we are in the same ballpark. I am in Texas, but travel to DC frequently for work - so may want to arrange a test drive.	Jan-20-14
A:	Thanks for the interest. Interesting they characterized my son's accident as severe when the only thing that prevented him from driving away was a flat tire. Accident resulted in a flat tire that was repaired, windshield that was cracked and replaced, we had the door hinge re-welded to strengthen it, and a new left side mirror that we replaced. Some of the crumpling on the door resulted from this accident, although the door already had some dents from the previous owner, so we simply added to it. My son and I debated about replacing the door, but it works fine and frankly we think in our own way it gives it some character. We paid out of pocket from the accident--the windshield, mirror, welding, and flat (and tow) came to $800--most of it was spent to replace the windshield. For your planning, we live near Quantico Marine Corps Base, a test drive can certainly be arranged.

GMC wants to target Jeep with compact crossover

Mon, Dec 14 2015

GMC execs might consider adding a Jeep competitor to the range, but rather than new rumors of a Wrangler-fighter, this time the Professional Grade brand could go after the Renegade. Division boss Duncan Aldred would like to broaden the brand's lineup with a subcompact crossover. "I keep telling everyone, 'How can General Motors' truck brand not be in the fastest-growing segment in the industry, an SUV segment," he said to Automotive News but wouldn't confirm whether the model was under development. General Motors already offers small crossovers like the Chevrolet Trax and Buick Encore, but the CUV segment in general continues to drive auto sales in the US. Adding a similarly sized GMC to the mix might increase the automaker's volume by appealing to different customers. "A GMC buyer is very different from a Buick buyer. This is like comparing the Fiat 500X to the Jeep Renegade. They are very similar but appeal to different people," Dave Sullivan, Product Analysis Manager at AutoPacific, told Autoblog. Aldred started the speculation about a Wrangler-fighting model in an interview in late 2014, and the company reportedly even raised the idea of an offroad-focused vehicle to dealers to see how they reacted. The development process was only in the very early planning stages, but the brand considered using Hummer for a little of the new product's inspiration. Aldred later suggested to journalists the possibility of adding a compact or midsize SUV to the GMC range in the next 10 years to appeal to more buyers. He didn't comment directly on the possibility of the Wrangler-challenger at the time beyond saying: "I can't confirm that ... everything's on the table." Related Video:

Chrysler reports $166M net income for Q1, down $307M vs. 2012

Mon, 29 Apr 2013

Preliminary first-quarter results from 2013 have been announced by Chrysler, and the company is reporting a net income of $166 million on revenue of $15.4 billion. Compared to this period last year, net income is down $307 million and revenue has dropped $1 billion.
Chrysler says that its quarter was negatively affected by the costs associated with launching its 2013 Ram Heavy Duty, 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee and preparation for the return of the all-new 2014 Jeep Cherokee pictured above. The launches should provide a strong second half of 2013, says the automaker. "We remain on track to achieve our business targets, even as the first-quarter results were affected by an aggressive product launch schedule," said Chrysler Group LLC Chairman and CEO Sergio Marchionne.
On a positive note, the automaker says worldwide vehicle sales are up 8 percent from one year ago, a number pushed by a 12 percent bump in U.S. retail sales. In addition, domestic market share has risen slightly, up to 11.4 percent from 11.2 percent last year. Read more in the official statement below.
