Up for sale is my Father's 1997 Jeep Cherokee Sport
Dad purchased this vehicle new from our local Jeep dealer upon his retirement in 1997; we are the original owner's. We have every bill and receipt since buying new. Dad was extremely fussy about his vehicles, and it shows. ORIGINAL 39,715 MILES!!! Always babied and maintained. We even have all of the inspection receipts from the last seven years documenting the low mileage. In the last few years, the Jeep has only been driven an average of about 500 miles per year. Partial list of new items that have been installed within the last 1000 miles or so: New Yokohama Geolander A/T (235/75/15) tires. New front brake pads New front rotors New front brake lines New rear wheel cylinders New rear brake lines New serpentine belt New upper radiator hose New exhaust New headlights New rear hatch struts New front wheel axle u-joints Exterior: Very good condition, paint shines like new, only a few very minor chips in paint and one small crease on passenger rear door that is virtually undetectable. There was a small amount of bubbling on rocker panels just below rear doors, but has been touched up. Black fender flares have been touched up- they will eventually flake off again! Undercarriage is typical for 18 year old car. Not a show car! Interior: Excellent condition, dad had seat covers front and rear on since the day he bought it; they were just removed as they were a bit faded. Husky floor liners also in since new. No rips or tears on any seats. Some light staining on carpeting. One very small tear (1/4") on headliner. Original am/fm factory radio. Sony cassette player (in box) included, with correct adapters. Dad had the dealer install power locks, but they don't always seem to work; manual locks work just fine. Spare tire has never been out of car, neither has jack,... Mechanical: Never off road, never abused. Always maintained. Battery was replaced approx. 2-12 years ago,. Starts and stops fine, A/C does not blow cold anymore, all components are there, very likely a small leak. Compressor makes no strange noises or squealing. Car stops great; very firm brake pedal feel with no pulling or fading. Transmission shifts firm. Engine uses no oil- no smoking or noises. 4x4 indicator light on dash does not illuminate , (new switch req'd around $15-$20, however all 4x4 components work flawlessly, both high and low range.

Anything could go wrong at any time, but it is highly unlikely. I know this car inside and out- please ask any and all questions before bidding; you will be expected to pay what you have bid; you are not bidding on a negotiation, or a chance to low ball in person.

Dirt Every Day tries to find the best 4x4 for under $4k
Mon, 25 Aug 2014If you want to build a cheap truck that can still do dirty deeds off the beaten path, it's best to start with solid axles and a solid V8 engine. That sums up the lessons learned after watching the 2014 Cheap Truck Challenge from the Dirt Every Day video crew, who took to the deserts and surrounding areas near Reno, NV, in an attempt to find the best 4x4 for under $4,000. Fortunately for us, the whole sordid journey was captured on video.
This isn't the first time the boys from DED filmed a Cheap Truck Challenge, and this year's festivities pitted together a 1993 Chevy S10 pickup, a 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee and a 1975 International truck in a series of challenges ranging from donuts to drag races, with plenty of hill-climbing and rock-crawling action in between. We don't want to spoil all the fun, but suffice it to say one competitor was found to be lacking while the other two performed (mostly) well. See for yourself in the video above.
Toyota, Lexus dominate KBB's Best Resale Value Awards
Tue, 19 Nov 2013Toyota and Lexus stormed the 2014 Kelley Blue Book Best Resale Value Awards, winning a combined 18 categories including best brand and best luxury brand. This marks the third year in a row that both automakers have won the Brand and Luxury Brand resale value awards. In all, Toyota won 11 categories and Lexus won seven.
Honda made a good showing, as well, winning two segments (Accord Plug-In Hybrid and Civic Si) and putting one car on the top-10 Best Resale Value list (CR-V). Chevrolet did even better, winning two segments (with the V6 Camaro and the Corvette) and placing three cars on the top-10-overall list (again, the Camaro and Corvette, plus the Silverado 1500).
The other winners came from Jeep, Dodge, Infiniti, Subaru and Audi. To give you a clearer picture of the Toyota and Lexus domination, their 18 mentions represents more than half of the 34 awards (including the top-10-overall list).
2016 Jeep Wrangler to ditch solid axles to save weight?
Tue, 29 Oct 2013Hey, Jeep fans. If you think the idea of a funky-looking, car-based Cherokee revival is offensive, have a listen to what might be in store for the next-gen Jeep Wrangler. Automotive News is reporting that as Jeep develops the 2016 Wrangler, weight reduction is a crucial target, and the Wrangler's rugged solid axles could be sacrificed in the name of better fuel economy.
We've already heard the next Wrangler will go on a serious diet using aluminum body panels and an air suspension system, so the idea of a four-wheel independent suspension setup for this OG SUV isn't all that surprising. Besides, it's not like an independent suspension would limit the Wrangler's off-road abilities - just check out the Hummer H1. In fact, it might be the aftermarket parts companies - not Wrangler enthusiasts - who would be most disappointed by such a drastic suspension change, as the article states that the Wrangler's solid axles and coil-link suspension make it the most popular SUV for customization.
There are probably still a couple years before we'll start hearing any concrete details about the 2016 Wrangler, at which time it will be interesting to see how stricter fuel economy and crash safety regulations have been balanced with traditional Wrangler cues like its removable doors and roof and folding windshield. Let us know in the comments below if a Wrangler sans solid axles is any less of a Wrangler.
