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!

Chrysler banks $507 million in Q2, trims 2013 earnings forecast

Tue, 30 Jul 2013

Chrysler has some good news and some bad news. First, profits were up 16 percent over the second quarter of 2012, bringing the Auburn Hills, Michigan-based manufacturer $507 million on the back of strong demand for trucks and SUVs (a recurring theme this quarter, particularly in the US). Q2 revenue was up as well, from $16.8 billion in 2012 to $18 billion in 2013. The bad news is that the Pentastar's overall earnings forecast for net income in 2013 has been trimmed from $2.2 billion to between $1.7 and $2.2 billion, according to Automotive News.
In addition to the adjusted net income forecast, Chrysler tweaked its operating profit from $3.8 billion to between $3.3 and $3.8 billion. This has gone largely unexplained by Chrysler, perhaps hoping the news of a three-percent increase in its transaction prices for Q2 will allow it to sweep this adjustment under the rug.
The star of the show for Chrysler has been its US sales, which saw a 10-percent jump, both bettering the industry average of eight percent and improving over the same stretch of 2012. As with the increase in transaction prices, Chrysler has the new Ram pickup and Jeep Grand Cherokee to thank. Perhaps most worrying from this report, though, is that every brand in the automaker's stable saw an increase in sales... except for the Chrysler brand itself.

Chrysler recalling over 200k vehicles across its brands

Wed, 10 Apr 2013

With more than 200,000 units across six separate recalls and almost all of its brands, it appears that Chrysler has officially jumped headfirst into the recall pool this month. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued three official recalls for the automaker, and The Detroit News is reporting that the automaker itself has announced three more.
The biggest of the recalls applies to about 120,000 Dodge Charger, Dodge Challenger and Chrysler 300 models for 2011 and 2012 due to faulty wiring harnesses for the seat-mounted side airbags, which could lead to these airbags not deploying in the event of a crash. A little more than 60,000 two-wheel-drive versions of the 2007-2008 Dodge Nitro and 2008 Jeep Liberty SUVs are being recalled due to a heat shield that could cause the driveshaft to break, which if that isn't bad on its own, could then hit underneath where the airbag sensor is mounted, causing the airbags to deploy. Wrapping up NHTSA's recall notices, about 20,000 Jeep Patriot and Jeep Compass models for 2012 are also being recalled due to a problem with the fuel tank transfer tube that could lead to the vehicle stalling. The LX car recall campaign is going into effect this month, while the other two will start next month - all three notices are posted below.
In addition to the official NHTSA recalls, The Detroit News is also reporting that Chrysler is recalling more than 16,000 Ram trucks and a small number of Dodge Dart sedans. Around 6,500 2013 Ram 1500 trucks will be recalled due to an improper adjustment of the parking brake cable from the factory, while 7,000 Cummins-powered 2013 Ram Heavy Duty trucks are being recalled due to an engine cover that does not have as much heat resistance as it is supposed to. Finally, a total of 46 Dodge Dart sedans are being recalled due to a problem with the brake calipers and/or parking brake.
