History:

I am the original owner of this Jeep, which was bought off the showroom floor in Canada. The only difference between this model and the US model, is the daytime running lights (the US version are off, these are on - they can be programmed off).

I've kept this vehicle in good condition, only myself and my wife used it. It has almost exclusively been under cover, so the internal upholstery is in very good condition.

Now I don't get to use it (I have two other vehicles), so it’s up for sale.

Condition:

The interior is in excellent condition except for some leather cracking on the left hand side skirt of the driver’s seat. The sunroof has a small stain, since the sunroof was cracked open when it went through he car wash. The roof does not leak.

Carpets are original and are in very good condition. I used rubber mats for many years, which are thrown in. I put a steering wheel cover on it since the original leather seemed to lose some grip, and was a bit twisted. But still in good condition.

Externally, after 13 years, naturally there were some mall scratches, so i decided to have it repainted (thinking i would keep it). Same color.

There has been some bumper damage on the rear drivers bumper. (I have exact touch up paint).

Tires are all in good condition, two new tires recently fitted. New battery July 14.

Features:

This Jeep was fully loaded. It came off the showroom floor. I had the stock radio removed (which includes a 6x CD changer), and had a Clarion multipurpose deck installed. This includes CD player, USB player (mp3), satnav navigation, backup camera, Sirrius ready, Pandora, iPod interface. All of this is controlled through the steering wheel controls.

I also have the old stock head that is included.

Questions and Answers:

1 The description says 123,000 miles and the odometer says 198,000. Which is correct???

Answer: The Jeep has 198,000km which is 123,000 miles.
Even the records of maintenance are reported in miles (taken off the odometer), but in fact they are km.

2. Hi there. I am interested in your Jeep and live in the galleria area, so very close to you. Would it be possible to see the vehicle in person?

The vehicle is available for view and test drive. I live close to Kirby Drive and Highway 59, Houston.

Send me a message if you want to view/drive.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have a couple of questions:

1. the Limited models had the body colored grille and it was the Laredo model that had the chrome, why was yours replaced with the incorrect chrome one made for the Laredo?

Answer: Correct, after the Jeep was resprayed, I decided to update the front grill to a chrome type. The original one was "cut out" with a box knife and the new plastic one was fitted. Invoice available.

2. Makes me wonder if it were in an accident?

Answer: No, the grill was not replaced due to an accident.

3. Also, has the rear been hit or repainted?

Answer: Yes, a long time ago a young nurse bumped into the back of me while I was stationary. She hit the tow bar. No damage to the car etc But yes, later (about 15 months ago, I had the car resprayed as i described. I did not go all out; it would have been pointless to spend 7-10k on a paint job, thereby exceeding the price of the car. I think the paint job cost me $3-4,000 so you can understand, the paint job cost more than the car!

4. The emblem that states QUADRA DRIVE is on the wrong side, it is to be under the JEEP emblem on the rear hatch not under the V8?

Answer: well spotted!

5. So all of this makes me wonder if it has been wrecked and a sloppy or cheap job of redoing it.....Let me know

Answer: No, it was never wrecked

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Can you tell me more about the new deck that was fitted:

Answer: The deck is a Clarion NZ503. The NZ503 is an all-in-one solution offering touch panel car navigation, Bluetooth hands-free telephone, Bluetooth audio streaming in stereo, interactive GUI with flick operation and DVD/CD enjoyment, plus music/movie playback from your iPod, iPhone as well as other USB or auxillary connected devices.

Cost paid $695.00

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Clarification:

The front lights are not original.

These lights were fitted because the existing lights were faded, and I wanted to have an updated look to the Jeep.

Watch this 650-hp Hennessey Jeep Grand Cherokee go from 0-60 in 3.9 seconds

Tue, 14 May 2013

Hennessey Performance Engineering has created an HPE650 package for the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT fitted with the 6.4-liter Hemi engine. When it leaves the showroom floor it has 470 horsepower and gets from 0-60 miles per hour in 4.8 seconds. When it leaves Hennessey's garage floor after the upgrade it has 650 horsepower - 530 hp at the wheels, according to Hennessey - and gets to 60 mph in 3.9 seconds on its way to running the quarter-mile in 12.6 seconds.
There's more than just a Roots-type supercharger bolt-on, with ported cylinder heads and high-flow headers among the many changes made to the engine. You can watch this pre-2014 facelift silver model prove its spec sheet on the drag strip in the video below.

Jeep lays out 5-year plan, including rebirth of Grand Wagoneer and new C-segment offering

Tue, 06 May 2014

Fiat 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 Grand Cherokee SRT gets power increase, minor tweaks for 2015

Tue, 02 Sep 2014

As a brand within Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, SRT may have an uncertain future, but it's pumping out some seriously mean machines anyway. The supercharged Hellcat V8 may be gobbling up most of the headlines with its 707 horsepower, but even the Grand Cherokee SRT is getting some small updates for the 2015 model year.
Most importantly for many enthusiasts, the Grand Cherokee SRT is getting a slight power bump. Don't expect the 700+ hp from the Hellcat, but this SUV sees a modest 5-hp and 5-pound-feet of torque improvement to bring output to 475 hp and 470 lb-ft for its 6.4-liter V8 with an eight-speed automatic. The minor change doesn't change the sprint to 60 miles per hour, clocking in at the same 4.8 seconds, or the tow rating at 7,200 pounds. Still, more grunt is never a bad idea.
Another new addition is the Active Noise Canceling system as a standard feature for this powerful SUV. It adds four microphones around the vehicle and uses the stereo system to nullify extraneous sound. However, Jeep claims that the meaty exhaust note from the V8 still gets through into the cabin for driver enjoyment.
