You are bidding on a sharp looking 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland 4x4 in Graphite Metallic.  This very desirable Jeep has every possible option, including the High Output V8, Quadra Drive, Tow Package, Sunroof, Navigation, Rain sensing wipers, Power adjustable pedals, side curtain airbags, and Tire Pressure Monitors. 
 
I will try to be as thorough as possible, but please ask any questions you may have.  I purchased this Jeep pre-owned from Faulkner Mazda in Harrisburg 4 years ago.  It has been invaluable in inclement weather, very well cared for, and still receives compliments on how great it looks.  I hate to see it go, but will be purchasing a new vehicle at the end of the month.

Mechanical:  The engine idles smoothly, runs well, and was serviced at the dealership on 3/12.  The starter motor was replaced 11/12 along with a new Mopar battery.  The oil has been replaced with synthetic oil every 5000 miles I've owned it.  The transmission shifts through all gears and overdrive smoothly.  Transfer case in 4WD All Time sends power between front and back wheels as needed, 4WD Low engages and works.  The heat and A/C are both functioning, however the A/C could use a recharge.  Steering feel is tight, has no wheel wobble, and is power assisted.  The steering stabilizer was replaced 12/11.  Brakes engage smoothly and ABS is functioning properly.  The front calipers and pads were replaced 3/13.  The suspension has not been modified, but it does have the factory Up Country lift.  Exhaust had been upgraded by the previous owner with a Gibson system, sounds great, and has passed Pennsylvania Emissions Controls.  The Jeep also passed Pennsylvania State inspection and is valid until 8/15.  The cooling system is functioning, but when going uphill or during long periods at highway speeds the temperature gauge climbs past 210 degrees.  Although the coolant temperature remains within the normal operating range, it should not be fluctuating.  I was quoted $590 parts and labor to replace the radiator but this has NOT been repaired.  The Jeep should probably be trailered or towed if you're planning to pick it up from a long distance away.

Exterior:  The paint still shines and has been professionally detailed every year I've owned it.  There are no faded body panels.  There are a couple rust spots developing on the driver side front fender and lower rock rails.  There is also rust coming through the paint below the rear passenger side door (see pictures).  There is a small scratch above the passenger side wheelwell and another on the rear quarter panel near the tail light, a ding above the Jeep badge on the liftgate, and two small scuffs on the rear bumper.  The front driver and passenger windows have been professionally tinted and there are no cracks or scratches on any windows.  The chrome Jeep wheels still shine but do show some signs of corrosion.  On 5/12 a 4 wheel alignment and upgraded Goodyear Duratrac 245/70 R17 were installed.  The tires have less than 10k miles on them, and were rotated at 5k.  The Jeep was hit at low speed by another vehicle on driver side front fender.  Nothing mechanical was damaged, only cosmetic.  I have the incident report, insurance write-up, and final invoice for repair by Glass & Sons Collision in Reading, PA.  The universal roof rack cross rails pictured will be included in the sale.

Interior:  The leather seats still look great, but the suede does show some wear.  The leather on the steering wheel is still tight and looking good.  There are no cracks on the dashboard, but there is a small crack in the wood grain trim on the passenger side, and the plastic trim around the shifter is curled.  The Jeep has never been smoked in and has no odors.  The headliner is still tight and shows no signs of leaks or damage.  The carpet is in great condition and the carpeted floor mats will be included in the sale along with the owners manual, 2 sets of keys, and 2 remote fobs.

Electrical:  All power windows, door locks, sunroof, adjustable pedals, and mirror motors are all functioning.  The power front driver and passenger seats are both fully power adjustable, including the lumbar support and driver memory settings.  The heated seats also work great and heat up fast.  The steering wheel mounted controls for the cruise control and audio system are all functioning.  The audio system still sounds great, with no blown speakers.  The navigation system still functions and the map DVD will be included in the sale.  The system can also play AM / FM / single CD / or an Aux device.  The 10 disc CD Changer in the truck does still work, but has been rewired to allow for the Aux jack instead.  All interior, exterior, and dashboard lights are functioning, as well as the automatic headlights.  The wipers all work including the rain-sensing feature for the front wipers.  The automatic climate control is in good working order and the blend doors function properly. The overhead console includes functioning HomeLink transmitter, trip computer, compass, temperature, and tire pressure monitor system.  The TPMS reads "Service Tire Pressure System" when the jeep is started, but once on the move the error goes away and all tire pressures read correctly.  The Tire pressure sensor re-learn magnet along with the full size spare tire and wheel will be included in the sale.

UPDATE:  I took the Jeep to another mechanic for a second opinion on the coolant temperature issue.  He used a heat gun and verfied the radiator is still in good working order and determined the water pump was bad.  This has been replaced and the Jeep now maintains the correct coolant temperature, around 195-200 degress.  I took the Jeep out on the Interstate for a 30 mile drive today and confirmed the issue is resolved!


On Sep-24-14 at 20:09:55 PDT, seller added the following information:

UPDATE:  The Jeep was at the dealership today to have all recalls addressed as well as a multi-point inspection.  This Jeep is ready for it's new owner!

Jeep gunning to build 250,000 Cherokees a year

Thu, 21 Mar 2013

Contrary to what a certain politician may have said last year about Jeep moving to China, the automaker is in fact doing the opposite, with plans to greatly increase the production capacity at its Toledo North Assembly plant in Ohio. The Detroit Free Press is reporting that there are big plans for the 2014 Jeep Cherokee and Toledo North, as a local union president has informed the newspaper that Chrysler is planning to produce around 250,000 examples of the new midsize utility per year.
To put this number into context, 250,000 units is more than what Jeep Liberty sales totaled here over the last three years combined. Even taking into consideration that the 250,000 units will be distributed beyond US borders, that's an ambitious volume figure full-stop - and that's without taking into consideration the new Cherokee's love/hate design. In its favor, though, Jeep is making remarkable inroads globally as of late, and the Cherokee's size could work well in emerging markets. To get that kind of output from Toledo's Cherokee assembly line, Chrysler will reportedly hire 1,105 new workers - that's in addition to the 200 workers already being hired to build the popular Jeep Wrangler, which is itself expected to top 220,000 units this year.

LA-bound 2014 Jeep Wrangler special edition gives us the Willys for $25,795

Mon, 18 Nov 2013

The Jeep Wrangler might be the reigning king of special editions, but with sales records being broken almost all year, this plan is obviously resonating with buyers. Joining new models like the Dragon Edition and Polar Edition, the 2014 Jeep Wrangler is adding a new Willys Wheeler Edition to pay homage to Jeep's military heritage.
Getting ready for its big debut at the LA Auto Show, the 2014 Jeep Wrangler Willys Wheeler Edition is inspired by early Willys CJ (Civilian Jeep) models with exclusive styling and upgraded off-road goodies. Starting with a Wrangler Sport, these upgrades include a Dana 44 rear axle with limited-slip differential and 3.73 gears, along with meaty BF Goodrich KM Mud Terrain tires mounted to the Willys Wheeler's black 17-inch wheels. For more of a classic Jeep look, this model adds a gloss black grille, "Willys" hood stickers and rock rails to protect the side sills. Jeep is also tossing in a D-ring, tow strap and gloves that are all kept in a special carrying bag.
When it goes on sale early next year, the Wrangler Willys Wheeler Edition will start at $25,795 for the two-door model, while the four-door will start at $29,595. There's an official press release posted below, and we'll be sure to have live images of the special-edition Wrangler live from the LA Auto Show floor later this week, so stay close.

Jeep Renegade gets Riptide and Frostbite customs at SEMA

Wed, 05 Nov 2014

The cute little Jeep Renegade isn't even on sale yet, but here at SEMA, the Mopar folks are giving us a taste of what's possible for the little CUV in the big wide world of customization. Part of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles' massive SEMA spread, the Renegade shows up in fresh Riptide and and Frostbite guises.
First up, the Riptide arrives in Vibrance Grandeur Blue with black wheels and a big ol' Jeep Performance Parts logo on the rear pillar. There are a few black accents elsewhere on the exterior, and a surfboard carrier rides up on the roof. The blue color scheme also finds its way inside the Renegade, on the instrument cluster and side panels, with contrasting white accents.
By contrast, the Frostbite Renegade reverses the Riptide's color scheme, with white being the main paint of choice, with blue accents abound. And inside, Katzkin seats wear blue upholstery. The Frostbite is a pretty functional creation, as well, with a Mopar ski/snowboard roof rack and a Jeep Performance Parts rock rail guard.
