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!

An inside look at Mopar's SEMA fleet

Fri, 31 Oct 2014

Mopar is heading to the SEMA show in Las Vegas with a fleet of customized vehicles that appeal to enthusiasts of all stripes. There's a Dodge Viper ACR concept that follows in the lineage of the supercar's great road racing past, and a custom Ram ProMaster that might just be the ultimate outdoor party machine.
We got an inside look at Mopar's cars that will be on display at the show, which also include a Dodge Challenger T/A concept, two crazy Jeeps and a Ram 2500 Outdoorsman that could change the way you camp. While these are some of our favorites, Mopar is bringing plenty to SEMA, so let us know your top choices in the comments section.

Chrysler recalling hundreds of thousands of Jeep Grand Cherokee and Commander SUVs

Wed, 23 Jul 2014

The public might associated ignition switch recalls with General Motors - and with good cause - but that's not the only automaker calling its vehicles back in to fix that sort of issue.
Last month we reported that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration was investigating an array of Chrysler Group vehicles for electrical-related safety issues. The administration and Chrysler subsequently issued a recall for 700,000 Dodge Journey crossovers, Dodge Grand Caravan minivans and Chrysler Town & Country minivans. But while the Jeeps that were also under investigation were not covered in that recall, they are being addressed in a separate one now.
Although Chrysler reports that it is only aware of a single accident stemming from this issue, it is "committing now to conduct a recall out of an abundance of caution." The recall affects the 2006-2007 Jeep Commander and 2005-2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee, of which it reports there are 792,300 on the road: 649,900 in the United States, 28,800 in Canada, 12,800 in Mexico and a further 100,800 outside of North America.

Millionth Jeep Wrangler JK to roll off line this morning

Fri, 17 May 2013

According to a report on the Chrysler Communications Facebook page and one fairly grainy image of the production line, at around 11:00AM Eastern this morning, the one-millionth Jeep Wrangler JK will roll out of the company's Toledo assembly plant.
The third-generation or "JK" Jeep Wrangler has been around since the 2007 model year, and has obviously been more popular than ever. With a greater than ever number of trim levels, two-door and four-door Unlimited models and hardy off-roading Rubicon packages, the JK offers more to choose from than ever for those looking for something in a traditional Jeep. In fact, with the modern 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 powering it, the 2012 model year saw more than 140k Wrangers sold here in the US; the best-ever figure for the model.
With a model refresh due out for the Wrangler in 2015 (along with the likely addition of a diesel engine option), we expect that sales will continue to roll right along, too.
