1999 Jeep Cherokee Sport 2 Door 218,640 Miles

This is a no reserve auction.  The highest bidder drives her away. For your consideration I present this loaded Jeep Cherokee in a very rare color with the one year only and one color only matching wheels (Only offered this way for 1999).  The two-door is very seldom seen.  And this Jeep Cherokee is equipped with the optional Select-Trac 4 wheel drive system, a full-time system that allows you to stay in four wheel on the open highway as well as to select part-time four wheel in both high and low range for full capability.

Don’t let the mileage fool you this Jeep has had every system sorted.  She is ready to roll and can be driven anywhere.  I only offer cars on Ebay that I have owned and driven myself and I have a 100% positive feedback record.  The Jeep has just about every option you could order on a two door Cherokee Sport back in 1999.  Power windows and locks, cruise control, lighted vanity mirrors, even a full size spare tire is included.  All the systems and electrical are working as they should.  I have added a modern disc radio with blue-tooth and hands free phone capability for better entertainment and the original cassette radio is also included.  I also put in a trail type seat that I hoped would be more comfortable than the original.  It isn’t, and the original seat will come with the vehicle if you wish to switch it back.  The car has never been off road during my ownership.  I added a top quality tow bar receptacle to carry a bike rack in.  The Jeep has never been used for towing.

I purchased this vehicle 4 1/2 years ago for use by my daughter while attending college in Northern Maine.  Much of the mileage was accumulated taking the long trip back and forth to there from western Connecticut.  I kept all systems maintained meticulously so that Madge (my daughter named her) would be a safe and reliable ride throughout the Jeep’s life with us.  The engine runs smooth and delivers all the power a 4 liter Jeep six should.  The transmission shifts through all gears as it should and the 4 wheel drive engages smoothly and operates well in all its modes.  There are no leaks or seepage from any of the seals and gaskets and the Jeep uses no oil between oil changes (done every 3,000 miles).  The air conditioning blows ice cold and was recently serviced.  A list of maintenance done is presented below.  4 new tires were put on at 215,217 miles.

Things needing attention: Madge has lived a colorful life in New England and some of it shows.  The underside of the vehicle has rust through in the passenger side floor and rust in the driver side floor as pictured.  The sub-frame is not rusted and is in good condition and the underbody is otherwise sound.  The floors will need to be fixed at some point but because the sub-frame goes right under them there is no danger of putting your feet through.  The Jeep is solid and drive-able as is. The body is in good condition as pictured but this is a 15 year old used Jeep so there are nicks and scratches here and there.  The passenger side drip rail molding was lost and replaced with an aftermarket type.  It is not original and not the right color but it is presentable.  I have not been able to find the original part but it is out there somewhere.  The Jeep encountered a bear several years ago and the front grill, bumper and moldings had to be replaced.  No structure damage occurred however. 

Maintenance List:

New hatch struts and latch mechanism

New Alternator

New Distributer Cap, Plug Wires, Rotor, Spark Plugs

New Rear Leaf Springs, Spring Shackles and Shock absorbers

New Power Steering Pump and New Belts

New Exhaust Manifold, New Exhaust Gasket and Connector Pipes

This is only a partial list of maintenance items done.  The Jeep comes with a complete set of receipts for parts and labor done during the 4 1/2 years of my ownership.  As stated all systems are functioning and Madge is ready to drive.

This Jeep is located in Torrington, Connecticut and is to be picked up there.  The buyer must make all arrangements for shipping if the car is to be shipped.  If the winner wishes to fly in and drive the car home I can provide transportation from Bradley International Airport near Hartford, Connecticut or from other nearby airports upon request.  As mentioned the car is ready to go and I would feel confident hopping in and driving to San Francisco tomorrow.  Please feel free to ask any questions.  Happy bidding.

This does not allow you to cancel your contract, and you are still liable for damages if you breach.

Jeep team takes a field trip to Wagonmaster; researching next Grand Wagoneer?

Fri, 01 Feb 2013


They have the very best intentions of rolling out a seven-passenger vehicle.
Wagonmaster has made a name for itself restoring and selling factory-perfect Jeep Grand Wagoneer models, bridging the gap between when the last production machine rolled off the line in 1991 and present day. The company's efforts haven't gone unnoticed. The entire Jeep product planning team took a little field trip to the company's facility in Kerrville, Texas back in December, and they weren't just there to take in the sights. According to owner Leon Miller's son, Chip Miller, the Jeep team was there to do research for the successor to the Grand Wagoneer throne.

Finding surfing spots in the UK is tough work, even in a Jeep

Sun, 06 Jul 2014

You truly have to love surfing to practice the sport in the United Kingdom. The area isn't exactly teeming with warm beaches full of sunbathers, and absolutely no easy spots to find big waves. To be a UK surfer, you need to be a fearless adventurer, not to mention quite lucky. And driving a Jeep might help, too.
Surfers Oli Adams and Micah Lester are traveling around the British Isles in a Jeep Wrangler Overland trying to find the best surf spots out there. These guys don't fit the laid-back surfer stereotype, but that's because finding waves in the UK is hard work. They say that the waves at some of these spots only exist for about three hours every year when the current and winds are just right.
To find these surf spots, the Jeep's offroad capabilities are paramount. In some areas, as you'll see in the video, there isn't even a beach, just jagged rocks. It would be like the movie Endless Summer, that is, if it could start snowing at any moment. These guys are clearly dedicated to their sport.

Jeep Wrangler's shift to aluminum could see production leave Toledo

Mon, 06 Oct 2014

The Jeep Wrangler may be a timeless design, but sooner or later, time will run out and Chrysler will have to replace it with a newer model more friendly towards the earth it's designed to traverse. That will, it seems, mean a shift to aluminum construction (whether just for the body or for the entire structure) - but what will that mean for the Wrangler's long-time home of Toledo, OH?
According to the latest pronouncements from Fiat Chrysler chief Sergio Marchionne, the shift to an aluminum Wrangler would likely mean moving production out of Toledo. "If the solution is aluminum," Marchionne told Automotive News, "then I think unfortunately Toledo is the wrong place, the wrong setup to try and build a Wrangler, because it requires a complete reconfiguring of the assets that would be cost-prohibitive."
Marchionne also indicated that, were Wrangler production to move elsewhere, it would find another line to take its place in Ohio. "One of the thing that we are dealing with now is what else we do with Toledo that fulfills our commitment to the city and to Ohio. I don't have a doubt that there will be zero impact on head count and employment levels and anything else." Jeep has built the Wrangler in Toledo since World War II, with the exception of six years starting in 1986 when it was built in Brampton, Ontario. The complex dates back to 1910 and currently produces the Wrangler and Cherokee. Past products have included the Wagoneer and Commanche as well as the Dodge Dakota and Nitro.
