Clean and origional Jeep.  $7500 or best offer, all offers considered. feel free to call me at 248.890.2504. 

The Jeep came with a RV as a package deal from an California estate. A retired couple from california bought and kept the Jeep and the RV in Arizona.  I do not need the Jeep. It is a amazing time capsule - despite some of the minor cosmetic flaws.  If it was a wrangler i would not be selling it.  The RV has 60k miles on it and they they towed the Jeep behind the RV.  I can estimate that 60k or so of the miles on the Jeep are actually tow behind miles so the drive train only has about 25-30k miles on it. 

New parts...Sparkplugs, distributor cap, rotor, electronic pic up in distributor, spark plug wires, shocks front and rear, brake pads and brake shoes, fuel filter, air filter, oil and filter, belts, coolant flush, upper/lower rad hose, thermastat, pcv, and all chassis greased with full service.   When i left the truck last month the a/c was charged and working. hopefully it will be still working when i get back in town.  It starts right up, runs smooth and drives amazing. no slack in steering, no shakes or shimmys or vibrations at any speed or when braking. It drives tighter than my newer truck with 80k miles on it. The underside is in amazing condition. I wish i had taken photos of it. It has no rust anywhere, not on brake lines or fuel lines or at the body seams or anything. 

I fly back in town on September 17th. I will add some pictures of the interior. It is in great shape and shows little wear for almost 30 years old. I simply forgot to take them before i had to go out of town. 

I prefer cash when you pick up the Jeep.  

I doubt anyone is willing to do this but for the buy it now price, i will drive it to you.  That would require bank to bank transfer of half the money before i leave - and the other half when i get there.  i dont really want to sell it internationally - but i will if you can wire your money to someone here in the states you know that can act as your agent, and this person can just pay me cash for it. . 

Thanks, please ask any questions.

Jeep Cherokee won't get diesel until sales of oil-burning Grand Cherokee improve

Tue, 01 Jul 2014

Okay Jeep fans, you want more diesel options? Time to step up and prove it. The only way Jeep will offer a diesel powerplant in the Cherokee, according to brand head Mike Manley, is if sales of the Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel nearly double.
Currently, about eight percent of the Grand Cherokees sold feature the 3.0-liter, EcoDiesel V6. That's simply not enough to warrant the bringing an oil-burning Cherokee to the US market, despite the vehicle's presence in Europe, where it's sold with a 2.8-liter diesel V6.
"Cherokee is slightly different because of its weight and size. When I think about bringing Cherokee diesel here, I would like to see Grand Cherokee diesel get much higher than eight percent," Manley told Automotive News. "It would have to be in mid-double digits."

Blake Anderson drives an over-the-top patriotic Jeep

Thu, Jan 15 2015

Comedian Blake Anderson is seeing growing success as one of the stars and co-creators of the Comedy Central show Workaholics. Not surprisingly, when you get your own TV show, there's a deep desire to celebrate with a big purchase, a car perhaps. Anderson did just that, but as opposed to plunking his money down on a Porsche or Mercedes-Benz, he took a much more patriotic route. Anderson described his ride as "an American Jeep" in an interview with Conan O'Brien, and he didn't mean that it was from the AMC years of the off-road brand's ownership. Instead, this one is as patriotic as they come thanks to a beautifully regal bald eagle covering the hood with the nation's flag as the background running up at least to the windshield. Hear Anderson's entire story of buying this red, white and blue off-roader in the video above.

2014 Jeep Patriot and Compass ditch CVT for six-speed auto

Mon, 07 Jan 2013

It was reported in Automotive News a few months ago, but a new report on Allpar.com adds some details to news that the 2014 Jeep Compass and Patriot will get a six-speed automatic to replace the CVTs they currently use. According to a tip provided to Allpar, the 2014 models will begin production in March and be on sale sometime in the summer. The Jatco-sourced CVT in use until now - Jatco is owned by Nissan and Mitsubishi - has been often criticized, and many won't be sad to see it go.
The incoming six-speed automatic is said to be an all-wheel-drive cog-swapper that's the work of Hyundai and Magna and has been paired with the DynaMax AWD system used in the Hyundai ix35 and Kia Sportage. It won't be the only Chrysler product using a transmission with ties to Hyundai: the six-speed automatic in the Dodge Dart comes from Powertech, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hyundai. With the Patriot and Compass said to be driving down the trail for the last time this year, it will be a short run for the new tranny and the rumored addition of a backup camera and power rear liftgate on the Compass.
