1999 Jeep Cherokee Sport 2 Door 218,640 Miles

This is a no reserve auction.  The highest bidder drives her away. For your consideration I present this loaded Jeep Cherokee in a very rare color with the one year only and one color only matching wheels (Only offered this way for 1999).  The two-door is very seldom seen.  And this Jeep Cherokee is equipped with the optional Select-Trac 4 wheel drive system, a full-time system that allows you to stay in four wheel on the open highway as well as to select part-time four wheel in both high and low range for full capability.

Don’t let the mileage fool you this Jeep has had every system sorted.  She is ready to roll and can be driven anywhere.  I only offer cars on Ebay that I have owned and driven myself and I have a 100% positive feedback record.  The Jeep has just about every option you could order on a two door Cherokee Sport back in 1999.  Power windows and locks, cruise control, lighted vanity mirrors, even a full size spare tire is included.  All the systems and electrical are working as they should.  I have added a modern disc radio with blue-tooth and hands free phone capability for better entertainment and the original cassette radio is also included.  I also put in a trail type seat that I hoped would be more comfortable than the original.  It isn’t, and the original seat will come with the vehicle if you wish to switch it back.  The car has never been off road during my ownership.  I added a top quality tow bar receptacle to carry a bike rack in.  The Jeep has never been used for towing.

I purchased this vehicle 4 1/2 years ago for use by my daughter while attending college in Northern Maine.  Much of the mileage was accumulated taking the long trip back and forth to there from western Connecticut.  I kept all systems maintained meticulously so that Madge (my daughter named her) would be a safe and reliable ride throughout the Jeep’s life with us.  The engine runs smooth and delivers all the power a 4 liter Jeep six should.  The transmission shifts through all gears as it should and the 4 wheel drive engages smoothly and operates well in all its modes.  There are no leaks or seepage from any of the seals and gaskets and the Jeep uses no oil between oil changes (done every 3,000 miles).  The air conditioning blows ice cold and was recently serviced.  A list of maintenance done is presented below.  4 new tires were put on at 215,217 miles.

Things needing attention: Madge has lived a colorful life in New England and some of it shows.  The underside of the vehicle has rust through in the passenger side floor and rust in the driver side floor as pictured.  The sub-frame is not rusted and is in good condition and the underbody is otherwise sound.  The floors will need to be fixed at some point but because the sub-frame goes right under them there is no danger of putting your feet through.  The Jeep is solid and drive-able as is. The body is in good condition as pictured but this is a 15 year old used Jeep so there are nicks and scratches here and there.  The passenger side drip rail molding was lost and replaced with an aftermarket type.  It is not original and not the right color but it is presentable.  I have not been able to find the original part but it is out there somewhere.  The Jeep encountered a bear several years ago and the front grill, bumper and moldings had to be replaced.  No structure damage occurred however. 

Maintenance List:

New hatch struts and latch mechanism

New Alternator

New Distributer Cap, Plug Wires, Rotor, Spark Plugs

New Rear Leaf Springs, Spring Shackles and Shock absorbers

New Power Steering Pump and New Belts

New Exhaust Manifold, New Exhaust Gasket and Connector Pipes

This is only a partial list of maintenance items done.  The Jeep comes with a complete set of receipts for parts and labor done during the 4 1/2 years of my ownership.  As stated all systems are functioning and Madge is ready to drive.

This Jeep is located in Torrington, Connecticut and is to be picked up there.  The buyer must make all arrangements for shipping if the car is to be shipped.  If the winner wishes to fly in and drive the car home I can provide transportation from Bradley International Airport near Hartford, Connecticut or from other nearby airports upon request.  As mentioned the car is ready to go and I would feel confident hopping in and driving to San Francisco tomorrow.  Please feel free to ask any questions.  Happy bidding.

This does not allow you to cancel your contract, and you are still liable for damages if you breach.

5.    It is important to keep in mind that the vehicle listed is pre-owned, and it is very difficult to describe every small mark on it.

2014 Jeep Cherokee dreams of Moab, crawls on stage [w/video]

Wed, 27 Mar 2013

The all-new 2014 Jeep Cherokee inched its way onto the stage at the New York Auto Show today, proving that at least the "Trail Rated" version of the SUV is more than just a controversial unique odd fresh face in the mid-size segment. After the short, simulated Moab run by the Trailhawk model, the gray four-door was joined on the stage by a burgundy Limited model - the luxurious highway variant.
As a recap, the all-new 2014 Cherokee rides atop a modular Alfa Romeo-derived platform (we know it from the Dodge Dart) and will be offered in both front- and all-wheel drive models with a choice between a 2.4-liter four-cylinder (rated at 184 horsepower) and a new 3.2-liter Pentastar V6 (developing 271 horsepower) engine. A nine-speed automatic is standard and no less than three different all-wheel drive systems are available.
Of the four different models (Sport, Latitude, Limited, and Trailhawk), we like the rugged looks and capabilities offered by the Trailhawk the best. Overlook the red tow hooks and check out its more aggressive wheel/tire package, flared fenders, reduced breakover angle and lack of brightwork in our gallery of live images from the New York show. Skid plates and off-road capable tires round out the package. Read all the details in the official press release below.

Fiat-based baby Jeep spotted testing in US and Europe

Thu, 03 Oct 2013

Details remain scarce, but our spy photographers have managed to capture the upcoming Jeep B-segment crossover for the first time, testing in both the Alps and in the US. Shown here as a cobbled-together Fiat 500L mule, the new Jeep model is expected to arrive for the 2015 model year and act as a replacement for the current Compass and Patriot models.
According to our shooter, the new "baby Jeep" will share a platform with the Fiat 500X, and both models will be built on the same assembly line in Turin, Italy. We can't tell much from these images, but the added length apparent on this 500L mule would seem to dispel the recent speculation that the new entry-level Jeep model would be sized closer to the Ford Fiesta - since the 500L is already considerably larger than the Fiesta. Powertrain options will likely mirror other Fiat/Chrysler collaborative vehicles like the Dodge Dart, but this Jeep will also try to live up to its off-road roots with an optional all-wheel-drive system.

Jeep Renegade pricing to start at $18,595?

Fri, 14 Mar 2014

While there's no shortage of excitement surrounding the new Jeep Renegade, one of the limiting factors to the little trucklet will be its price. With the Kia Soul starting at $14,900 and the Nissan Juke kicking off at $18,990, the Renegade can't afford to stray away from that price bracket.
And judging by some potentially leaked pricing info, it won't. A quick Google search of "Jeep Renegade Price" reveals (at least for now) that the Italian-built Jeep will start at $18,595. The "as shown" price of $25,895 seems to indicate the Trailhawk model shown on Jeep's consumer page.
If the $18,595 figure is correct, it's likely for the base, two-wheel-drive Sport model, with the Latitude and Limited trims falling somewhere between there and the $25,895 as-equipped price of the Trailhawk.
