You are bidding on a really nice 1998 jeep Cherokee sport 4 wheel drive with the indestructible 4.0 liter , 242 cu.in. Motor.  Here's the good news.  This jeep is rust free and has been owned in my immediate family since it was new in 1998.  First my dad and mom bought it new.  They sold it to my brother at 70,000 miles and it moved to Dallas Texas.  My dad bought it back from him in 2010 with about 100,000 on it and then I bought it from him and she has lived the last few years in New Smyrna, Florida.  I just recently moved back home to buffalo New York and I don't have room in garage to keep it indoors any more- it was always garage kept.  The 4 wheel drive works perfectly as it should.  The vehicle was never used for towing and 4x4 only used on rare occasions. Interior is in very nice overall condition8 out of 10 I would say.  The driver seat does show some wear in the seat but no rips or tears anywhere.  


The bad- 
the gas shocks that hold up rear hatch need replacing as they don't hold it up anymore
The A/C blows cold but does have a pinhole leak somewhere as I have to re charge every 4-6 months. .  

Everything else works perfectly and she runs and drives strong.  Great tires, new brakes a year ago, and that's it- can't say anything else that would be an issue.  Oil changed every three thousand miles since new- it's just a really nice jeep- I know these things are getting rare and harder to come by in this condition so no one is going to steal it I promise.  

Would entertain your "buy it now" offer to end auction and I reserve the right to cancel at anytime as it is for sale locally.  

Thanks- call me any time with questions at 716-225-2551

This is a five day auction.  Cash, cashiers check, in person or by mail. Vehicle and title do not get released until money clears and is in bank.  Also, 1000.00 deposit immediately after winning auction via PayPal or overnight mail.  Balance within 7 days- no exceptions-  thanks

FCA to appeal reduced judgment in Georgia Jeep case

Thu, Aug 13 2015

FCA is appealing the $40 million verdict against it in a case in Georgia where a four-year-old boy died in a fire in a Jeep Grand Cherokee, according to The Detroit News. The jury originally awarded the child's family $150 million, but the judge decided to significantly to reduce the amount based on other precedents. The automaker has been considering further legal options since the decision was announced in July. The boy's death happened in 2012 when he was riding in a Grand Cherokee. The vehicle was rear-ended, and the fuel tank burst, causing a fire. This is the same issue that led to a recall of millions of the SUVs and a recent agreement with the US government from FCA to pay to get them fixed. In the original ruling, the jury said that the automaker was 99 percent responsible for the fatality and didn't adequately warn owners. It asked the company to pay $120 million for wrongful death and $30 million for his pain and suffering. FCA countered that the Jeeps met the safety standards of the time they were made. FCA requested that the jury's award be reduced in May calling the amount "grossly excessive." If the family didn't agree to a lower amount, the company also threatened to seek a new trial. Among the arguments was that $30 million was too much for the child's one minute of suffering. The parents did accept the judge's adjusted figure, though.

$40M award for boy's death in Jeep fire upheld by Georgia high court

Fri, Mar 16 2018

The Georgia Supreme Court on Thursday unanimously upheld a $40 million award to the family of a 4-year-old boy killed in 2012 when the 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee in which he was riding was rear-ended and burst into flames. A lower court in 2015 reduced a jury verdict from nearly $150 million to $40 million. Fiat Chrysler spokesman Michael Palese said the company was "disappointed in this decision. We are considering our legal options." The Jeep's fuel tank was placed near the back of the vehicle, which plaintiffs said made it vulnerable to rear-end collisions. The Supreme Court ruling said "evidence showed that Chrysler had long known that mounting a gas tank behind the rear axle was dangerous. Evidence also showed that Chrysler's placement of the gas tank behind the rear axle was contrary to industry trends, which favored placing tanks in front of the rear axle." Fiat Chrysler lawyers said during the trial that the fire did not cause Walden's death and blamed the driver of the pickup truck that hit the vehicle. The company said Thursday it "continues to extend sympathies to the family of Remi Walden for their loss." On appeal, the company contended it was prejudicial to raise Fiat Chrysler Chief Executive Sergio Marchionne's compensation, which totaled more than $68 million, according to a company executive who testified at trial. The automaker had denied there was a safety issue and has said the vehicles were no more dangerous than comparable SUVs built at the time. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) linked more than 50 deaths to the Jeep fuel-tank issue. Under government pressure, Fiat Chrysler recalled 1.56 million 2002-07 Jeep Liberty and 1993-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs in June 2013 to address fire risks and agreed to install trailer hitches to protect the gas tanks. The recall and a "customer satisfaction campaign" that covered the Jeep in the fatal Georgia crash occurred after Marchionne held private talks with senior U.S. Transportation Department officials in 2013. The Georgia Supreme Court opinion said the award was proper in part because Marchionne was "alleged to have specifically interjected himself in a federal safety investigation to the detriment" of the Walden family. In 2015, NHTSA announced Fiat Chrysler would pay a then-record $105 million civil penalty over lapses in safety recalls involving millions of vehicles, including older Jeep SUVs for fire risks.
