Welcome Bidders, 


This 1997 blue Jeep Wrangler is a vehicle which I am putting up for auction after an ending contract agreement with an advertising company. The truck has been used for photo-ops and has been featured in advertisements and magazines as it is an extremely well made replica of an Eastern European off-road police vehicle. It has served us well, but as the two-year agreement is over, it is time to sell. The white stripes and lettering on the truck are decals and easily removable. As per the vehicle history from what I understand a few years back the car was hit on the left passenger side and was not fixed professionally. Since the car was used as a replica model for photo-ops, it was non consequential to us. We were given a quote of 500 dollars for it to be fixed by a professional. See the picture of the left side of the vehicle (with black stripe). The vehicle has salvage title history but was fixed,inspected, and a clear title was issues several years ago. Cosmetically, it is not a perfect car. It may need some TLC, but everything is in working order. The engine runs smoothly (no check engine light on, no emission issues). The transmission and clutch are operating as they should and the 4x4 mechanism works perfectly. Last Fall, we outfitted this vehicle with a brand-new fast back soft top and brand new door skins. The tires are in good shape and have 80% of life left in them. Since this vehicle was constantly driven between photo sessions in Pennsylvania and Manhattan, NY I can personally attest to how much fun it is to drive it with the top down, on the open road, as well as its great and unique use of  off-road driving. It also drives very well in the snow and is practically all-terrain. It is a reliable daily driver, with all service done in a timely manner. It is equipped with a pioneer radio with a cd player and a panel-in aux input, as well as a sound bar with pioneer speakers and a CB radio. It has a thin layer of outdoor carpeting which makes it alright to get it wet in the rain, as well as making the vehicle much more quiet.  Please keep in mind that it is a seventeen year old,off-road vehicle so dents and scratches are a give-in(see pictures), and while you should not expect a showroom vehicle, it is a gem in its own right. 

The bad: 
Wipers work on high speed only
Left side body work not done professionally 
Some spots of rust on doors (no major issues, no frame rust) 
Rear seat belts are missing 

The good:
Engine in very good condition with good compression on all four cylinders 
Manual five-speed transmission that shifts perfectly 
No leaks of any kind
4x4 works great
Inspected in a timely manner (oil changes,brakes,fluids,valve cover gasket done recently)
Solid daily driver with no issues
New top last fall  (600$)
New door skins  (200$)
Amazing drive 


Please see pictures, good luck bidding, and please contact me if you need any more information.

Jeep Cherokee faces on-sale delay

Sat, 23 Mar 2013

A report in The Wall Street Journal looks at some of the obstacles to the 2014 Jeep Cherokee that go beyond its mootable yet "very contemporary" looks, almost all of them based on Fiat's financial position. Starting with that sheetmetal, in defense of it SRT president Ralph Gilles and Jeep design head Mark Allen said they wanted to "make sure the design still looks modern five years from now."
The WSJ piece doesn't cite longevity as a factor, instead saying that its features originated in a design for an Alfa Romeo, the transformation into a Jeep design meant allowing Chrysler get it to market more quickly and save "hundreds of millions of dollars" in engineering.
The need for Fiat to save money while it weathers the European situation has cut budgets for development, engineering and the pace of retooling the Toledo, Ohio plant to build the Cherokee. In a familiar case of snowballing at work, among the effects will be pushing back the Cherokee's volume sales date and delaying updates to some of Chrysler's other products.

2014 Jeep Cherokee gets official in a hurry

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

Automakers work very, very hard to keep their new vehicles under wraps until they can present them in exactly the way they want it - typically choreographed under the bright lights of an auto show, or perhaps with photos or video in an idyllic location. Spy shooters and leaks, in other words, keep executives and public-relations types up at night.
This is likely to be one of the most polarizing designs to come out in 2014.
Take today, for instance, when the team over at Jalopnik got a big scoop - the first undisguised shots of the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, a model whose name wasn't even officially confirmed yet. The clandestine images taken inside of a factory were blurry and didn't exactly show off the crossover's radical new contours in the same sort of flattering light that Jeep probably would've wished for its product reveal. So the Auburn Hills automaker has wisely reacted by spilling at least some of the beans on the new model, giving us these four photos and confirming the Liberty replacement's name, Cherokee.

Researchers who busted VW cheating say FCA's diesels dirty, too

Tue, Jun 13 2017

The Wall Street Journal today reported on an upcoming report from West Virginia University's Center for Alternative Fuels Engines and Emissions, which is the same lab that investigated Volkswagen emissions cheating. The report, which will be released in a matter of weeks, alleges that 2014 and 2015 model year Jeep and Ram vehicles with diesel engines emit excess pollution. But it does not specify whether the company used defeat devices. Since the report discusses Jeep Grand Cherokees, and that engine is also available in the Ram 1500, it's safe to assume that one of the implicated engines is the EcoDiesel V6, a unit actually produced by VM Motori. It's unclear whether the report covers any of the Cummins engines used in heavier-duty Ram pickups. This report comes on the heels of a federal investigation into FCA's diesel vehicles. That investigation focused on the EcoDiesel engine used in 2014-2016 vehicles. The feds were seeking a fine of up to $4.6 billion. The EPA and the State of California also previously accused FCA of using a defeat device on the same vehicles back in January. FCA, for its part, alleges that the WVU study might have been commissioned by people interested in suing the company, and disputes the testing methodology, according to the WSJ. We've reached out to WVU to confirm which engines are implicated in its study and will update this post when we have more to share. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.
