1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee V8 Tsi 5.2 Liter on 2040-cars
Rochester, New York, United States
|
I am selling my silver 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. It is the model with the 5.2 liter V8 TSI (two-stage injection) engine (link to technical specs at the bottom of the page). I have all the paperwork for all major repairs and oil changes/maintenance from when I bought the car in 2003 until now, as well as the title which is clean.
The car will be sold AS-IS, with no warranty. Any buyer is free to bring a mechanic to look at the car. The car runs, however, the power steering is non-operational at the moment. This because the power steering reservoir and high-pressure hose need to be replaced (the power steering pump works just fine). Therefor, the car would need to be towed (flatbed because of the AWD). This is a great car that needs minor repairs to be operational. History: Has never been in an accident, flooded, on fire, etc. Miles: 133,179 (average of 7,800 per year) Exterior Condition: No rust, scratches, or dents to the body. The rear bottom molding has a small crack (was there when I purchased the vehicle). Other than that the body of the car is pristine. The rear hatch no longer remains up on its own (pneumatic rods need to be replaced) The undercarriage shows normal rust that goes along with an older car driven in the northeast (winters and salt). Interior Condition: Black leather throughout that shows normal wear for the year (cracking on driver side arm rest, slight wear on front seat leather). The ceiling matting sags in some areas. No stains throughout. Features: Two-stage injection 5.2 liter V8 high performance engine, Quadra Trac (Jeep's all-wheel drive package), hood and window bug deflectors, power front seats, CD & cassette player, sunroof, AC, power windows, power locks, service displays screen. Disclosures: 1.) The high-pressure power steering fluid hose needs to be replaced. The part is on hand and the procedure is minor. 2.) The power steering fluid reservoir needs to be replaced (~$70 part). The power steering pump still works and only the reservoir must be replaced (was punctured on one side during replacement of the high pressure hose) 3.) The passenger side front window is off the track (motor still works, the glass has just slipped off the track - window will go down but not back up). 4.) The speakers are original and no longer work (wiring and radio/cd player/cassette player all work - just needs new speakers) 5.) No spare tire - The spare was used when one of the other tires went flat. The rim was retained and is in the spare time compartment. I consider the vehicle in 'Good' to 'Very Good' condition, in which case Kelley Blue Book value is around $3,100.

Jeep lays out 5-year plan, including rebirth of Grand Wagoneer and new C-segment offering
Tue, 06 May 2014Fiat Chrysler CEO Sergio Machionne presented a five-year plan for the company brands this morning, with Jeep first up on a long day of presentation. Jeep's head honcho Michael Manley wasted no time in laying out what the foreseeable future will look like for what he calls the "lead global brand" of the company.
Big goals for the next half-decade will include expanding the lineup from five nameplates built in one country, to six nameplates build in six countries. That expansion of models will include both a three-row competitor, and, of course, a small vehicle to slot below Cherokee. The company is also seeking to add a whopping 1,300 dealers over the next few years, to sell all this new metal, and has an aggressive goal of doubling Jeep sales by the time 2018 rolls around.
As expected, that first salvo from the off-road brand will be the debut of the much ballyhooed Renegade small crossover in the third quarter of this year. Jeep has already designated that Renegade will get refreshed for the 2017 model year, as well.
Jeep Cherokee sales rival Wrangler after two months
Sun, 29 Dec 2013In our First Drive article on the 2014 Jeep Cherokee we said, "our informal and thoroughly unscientific opinion is they're going to sell tons of them. Why? Because it is very good." So far, it appears the public concurs. Of course, it's very early - the new compact utility has logged just one month of confirmed sales, but Larry Vellequette at Automotive News says dealers have told him that the second month of sales will be even better, a message that mirrors what we've heard from company execs.
In its first, severely truncated month on sale, the Cherokee sold 579 units. With all of November to play with, though, dealers moved 10,169 of them - compared to 11,753 Wranglers and 14,798 Grand Cherokees. That helped propel Jeep to a 30-percent year-on-year improvement for the month, Chrysler Group to a 16-percent improvement and the group's 44th consecutive month of sales growth, exceeding analyst expectations in posting its best November numbers since 2007.
If it can just keep replicating the its first month of sales, the finalist in North American Truck of the Year voting will smoke the trade done by the outgoing Liberty, which didn't break 7,900 units in a month in the last four years of its life (and normally didn't get close to even that). In March this year, Chrysler said it wants to build 250,000 Cherokees in its Toledo assembly plant for global sales. It's early yet, but with second-month sales quoted as being as "strong as death," the bookies might be resetting the odds.
100,000 Jeep Cherokee models subject to further 9-speed recalibration
Thu, 29 May 2014It seems that the software problems with the nine-speed automatic gearbox in the Jeep Cherokee continue to mount. The programming already caused multiple development delays and even postponed the Cherokee's market launch by roughly two months. Now, Jeep has issued another recalibration to hopefully assuage unhappy drivers.
According to Automotive News, this reflash for the allegedly jerky transmission covers over 100,000 Cherokees built before May 5, but it's not technically a recall. If owners are having problems and complain to the dealer, they get the new software. Otherwise, they continue with the current version. New vehicles on dealer lots also receive the latest revision to the programming. It takes only around five minutes to install, but technicians need to take the Cherokee on a test drive to adapt the gearbox to the changes.
The Cherokee's transmission software has been problematic practically since the beginning. The Jeep plant in Toledo, OH, briefly idled its second-shift workers last year to take care of the issue. Since the launch issues for the crossover, demand has been strong. Jeep added another 1,000 temporary workers to the Toledo factory to keep up, and sales were on par with the Wrangler in just its first two months.
