1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee V8 Tsi 5.2 Liter on 2040-cars
Rochester, New York, United States
|
I am selling my silver 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. It is the model with the 5.2 liter V8 TSI (two-stage injection) engine (link to technical specs at the bottom of the page). I have all the paperwork for all major repairs and oil changes/maintenance from when I bought the car in 2003 until now, as well as the title which is clean.
The car will be sold AS-IS, with no warranty. Any buyer is free to bring a mechanic to look at the car. The car runs, however, the power steering is non-operational at the moment. This because the power steering reservoir and high-pressure hose need to be replaced (the power steering pump works just fine). Therefor, the car would need to be towed (flatbed because of the AWD). This is a great car that needs minor repairs to be operational. History: Has never been in an accident, flooded, on fire, etc. Miles: 133,179 (average of 7,800 per year) Exterior Condition: No rust, scratches, or dents to the body. The rear bottom molding has a small crack (was there when I purchased the vehicle). Other than that the body of the car is pristine. The rear hatch no longer remains up on its own (pneumatic rods need to be replaced) The undercarriage shows normal rust that goes along with an older car driven in the northeast (winters and salt). Interior Condition: Black leather throughout that shows normal wear for the year (cracking on driver side arm rest, slight wear on front seat leather). The ceiling matting sags in some areas. No stains throughout. Features: Two-stage injection 5.2 liter V8 high performance engine, Quadra Trac (Jeep's all-wheel drive package), hood and window bug deflectors, power front seats, CD & cassette player, sunroof, AC, power windows, power locks, service displays screen. Disclosures: 1.) The high-pressure power steering fluid hose needs to be replaced. The part is on hand and the procedure is minor. 2.) The power steering fluid reservoir needs to be replaced (~$70 part). The power steering pump still works and only the reservoir must be replaced (was punctured on one side during replacement of the high pressure hose) 3.) The passenger side front window is off the track (motor still works, the glass has just slipped off the track - window will go down but not back up). 4.) The speakers are original and no longer work (wiring and radio/cd player/cassette player all work - just needs new speakers) 5.) No spare tire - The spare was used when one of the other tires went flat. The rim was retained and is in the spare time compartment. I consider the vehicle in 'Good' to 'Very Good' condition, in which case Kelley Blue Book value is around $3,100.

Chinese Jeep production confirmed with Fiat, Guangzhou agreement
Wed, 21 Aug 2013Fiat has just finalized a deal originally set up in January between it and China's Guangzhou Automotive Group to bring Jeep production to China. It remains unclear which models will be built, although we're wagering that it'll be the 2014 Cherokee. What we do know, now, is where production will take place.
According to Automotive News, Guangzhou originally wanted production to take place in its home assembly plant in its namesake city. Fiat has battled to send production to a joint venture facility established between Guangzhou and Fiat in the town of Changsha. The joint facility won out, and now the factory, originally built in 2010 with a 140,000-unit capacity, will see Jeeps rolling out of it.
Currently, the GAC-Fiat factory produces the Fiat Viaggio, a jointly developed product that is closely related to America's Dodge Dart. And while it remains unclear as to which model will join the Viaggio on the assembly line, that model is understood to ride on Fiat's Compact platform. The only Jeep to share those underpinnings is the new Cherokee, so there's not much connecting of dots needed to see why this scenario would make sense.
China orders Jeep to investigate Wrangler fire risk
Mon, 06 Jan 2014It's been some time since we've heard anything about fires related to the Jeep Wrangler (foreign or domestic), but it sounds like the go-anywhere SUV could be in hot water once again in China. Bloomberg is reporting that the Chinese government is ordering Jeep to investigate the matter and, in the meantime, also recommending Wrangler owners to not drive their vehicles in "extreme conditions" due to a "relatively high risk" of catching on fire.
There is no indication as to how many vehicles or which model years are affected, but the previous fire problems in both the US and China - which led to investigations but no recalls - were traced back to automatic transmission fluid leaks. The article, however, does not say what the potential problem is this time around as Jeep has not released a comment on the matter. The official notice, in Chinese, can be found here.
Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014
Thu, 27 Feb 2014Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.
