 2011 70th Anniversary Jeep Grand Cherokee 4X4 - LOADED

Bought this Jeep Grand Cherokee brand new in June of 2011, and am the only owner/ driver this rig has ever had.  Not a smoker, and we do not have any pets.  This V8 Jeep gets parked indoors both day and night, and has been washed and detailed with extreme regularity.  It has never been in any type of fender bender, has 100% original paint, and was serviced regularly and exclusively by the local Jeep Dealership. All records are on file. 

Why are we selling this well loved Jeep?  We ordered a 2014 Jeep Cherokee SRT, which will be delivered at the end of this month.

The factory warranty, bumper-to-bumper, is good for another 16,000 miles, or 15 months, whichever comes first. (36,000 miles or 3 years.)  Powertrain Warranty is good for 10yrs and 100,000 miles! 


Some Options include: (The rest are listed on the dealer sticker, which is photographed and included in the photos here.)  If not easy to read, I can send them BIG!  Just shoot me an email.

  • Panoramic Sliding Moon Roof
  • Navigation / Bluetooth/ HDD Audio System - which is awesome.
  • Leather Interior - One year only perforated black with chestnut piping.
  • Heated, Power Driver and Passenger Seats
  • Black Lacewood dash and door panels (and now Steering Wheel.)
  • 20" Special Edition Wheels.
  • 110V Electric
  • USB Audio
  • Back-up Camera
  • Keyless entry
  • Keyless start/stop
  • Tow Package/ Full Size Spare
  • Automatic headlights
  • Cruise control/ radio controls on steering wheel
A few things bothered me about the vehicle, as I'm about as OCD a human can be.  The following upgrades/ modifications were made, and all up, there was about $3,500 spent:

  • Installed a Magna-Flow cat-back exhaust system. (Jeep was silent, like a Prius, after $1,500 installed, it now sounds like a V8 Jeep should, but not obnoxious.) Plus, the polished stainless tips look fantastic, and stick out about an inch further than the small stock units.
  • Installed Eibach rear coil springs. $500 installed. (Jeep sqatted down when accelerating, rear springs were soft.  Also, the rear end was nearly 3" higher than the front, giving it a sting-bug look.  The new springs fixed the squat problem, and lowered the rear 1.5", so it sits PERFECT. SEE LAST PHOTO TO SEE HOW THESE LOOK STOCK, HIGH IN THE REAR!
  • Installed a set of B-WOODY Sway Bar Links, which reduce body roll and improve road feel.  $300 well spent.
  • Installed a K&N Cold Air Intake. Increased throttle response and an extra 2MPG never hurt anyone.  Sounds better too. $350 installed.
  • Tinted the driver and passenger windows to match the rest of the V8 SUV.
  • Installed an Overland Steering wheel, which is awesome, and has the matching grey/ black grain on the top of the extra FAT grip. Awesome feel and look. $500 installed.
  • Installed WeatherTech all-weather floor mats throughout the vehicle and cargo area. $350 well spent, and the Jeep has never had a wet foot touch the carpets.
  • Installed SRT Jeep pedals, $100 well spent.
  • Purchased, but never installed: New leather seat base for the special edition 70th Anniversary seats. (Just in case it ever looked warn, I wanted a spare.)  Seats have worn nicely, and hardly at all, so if they do, you have a spare.
  • Removed anything that would catch and hold polish and wax. All badges, except the 70th Anniversary badge, are gone.  The ugly chrome door protectors, which were done away with completely for 2014, are history.   (See last photo to see the way it looked stock, with the extra chrome door guards.)

I have the spongy factory rear coil springs (and the Eibach replacement front springs, should you want to further improve the performance.) Have the original sway bar links.  Have the original floor mats, which are special to the 70th anniversary Cherokee. Have the original Steering Wheel. Also have the original intake.  All original gear goes with the Jeep.

This vehicle drives perfectly, as new. (After all, it has under 20K miles.) Tires have about 7-8/32nds remaining.  Has never been curbed, never rubbed a curb, and has zero curb rash on any of the wheels. We have 2 kids, who ride in my wife's car more.  Just in case, I installed seat protectors on the back of the seats to ensure no injury by munchkin feet. They are still on, but unless you need them, I'm putting them in the next Jeep.

I'm not an off-roader, and this vehicle has never experienced any off-road recreational use.  A quick look underneath will reveal a zero-injury Jeep belly.

Imperfections: There are a few small chips in the front, and the windshield has a few microscopic chips, only visible driving west at sunset, or east at sunrise.  Impossible to photograph, we tried.  The "Brilliant Black Metallic," is great at hiding imperfections.  No scratches, swirl marks, etc. Interior has no issues that I could find. Smells good, etc. 


We live 2.5 miles from our warehouse, and will continue to drive, wash, polish, and wax this vehicle until it's sold.  (Our business is car care, and this vehicle has a swirl-free, excellent finish.) Size us up if you like: AdamsPolishes.com

My wife, and everyone else in my world, think I'm looney for selling this black Cherokee to buy another black Cherokee, especially one that costs $40K more.  Like I mentioned, it's a sickness, and I love the Jeep Grand Cherokee. It's an awesome vehicle.

If you need financing, you can through our local Jeep dealership, Pollard Jeep of Boulder, Colorado.  (They will be the official 'seller' of this vehicle, and can also transport the vehicle anywhere easily.) Email me, and I will introduce you, or you can call the dealership and ask for Joe Scandaliato.  (877) 356-0988

Thanks for your interest, and come see and drive this vehicle without obligation!  See my feedback to verify integrity.  Feel free to call or email any questions:  303-SevenONE8-9FOUR8ZERO.   - Adam

Chrysler's Woodward Dream Cruise festivities include Ram concept truck debut

Tue, 13 Aug 2013

The streets will be crowded next weekend along Woodward Avenue in Royal Oak, Michigan for the 19th Annual Woodward Dream Cruise. As part of the run-up to the festivities, Chrysler has announced that all of its brands - Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Fiat, SRT and Mopar - will bring along their latest vehicles. Also included will be a collection of classic American cars and various activities for attendees at the official Chrysler location on the corner of Woodward and 13 Mile Road.
Special to this year, Ram brand director Bob Hegbloom and head of design John Dehner will unveil a Ram concept truck on Saturday. Chrysler will also bring Ryan Friedlinghaus of West Coast Customs fame along to show off a few custom Chrysler-made vehicles of his own. Fans of the brand on Facebook will get the chance to virtually customize a vehicle from the automaker's portfolio, with the winner getting their dream car built for them by Chrysler. Pretty cool stuff, no?
As in past years, Ford and General Motors will have an official presence at the event as well, and you can expect to see plenty of cars of all makes and models from all parts of the globe. The madness starts this Friday, August 16, from 4:30 PM to 10 PM, with the main event taking place on Saturday, from 9 AM to 9 PM. For more details on the show, including events and their times, check out the press release below.

Europe gets Jeep Wrangler Polar limited edition

Wed, 04 Sep 2013

Jeep will be bringing an all-new, limited-edition model to the European market called the Wrangler Polar. Based on the Wrangler Sahara and set to make its debut at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show, the Wrangler Polar sports new Hyrdro Blue paint, gloss black 18-inch wheels, a body-color hardtop, and the regular mix of Mopar styling accessories. Billet Silver Metallic and Bright White are available for those that don't dig the glossy blue, while a two-door variant will be available in addition to the four-door pictured above.
The Polar's interior features similar tweaks; Pearl White contrast stitching can be found on both the seats and steering wheel, while ceramic White bezels and other accents give a nice contrasting look to the cabin.
Underhood sits an engine that should make American Wrangler enthusiasts weep - a 2.8-liter, four-cylinder turbodiesel. With 200 horsepower and 339 pound-feet of torque channeled through a five-speed automatic transmission, the Wrangler Polar should handle itself just fine on normal roads. British buyers will also be able to select the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6. For rougher stuff, Dana axles can be found front and rear (Dana 30 up front and Dana 44 in back), while the Command-Trac four-wheel-drive system and its two-speed transfer case should be enough for when the roads disappear.

Jeep Cherokee faces on-sale delay

Sat, 23 Mar 2013

A report in The Wall Street Journal looks at some of the obstacles to the 2014 Jeep Cherokee that go beyond its mootable yet "very contemporary" looks, almost all of them based on Fiat's financial position. Starting with that sheetmetal, in defense of it SRT president Ralph Gilles and Jeep design head Mark Allen said they wanted to "make sure the design still looks modern five years from now."
The WSJ piece doesn't cite longevity as a factor, instead saying that its features originated in a design for an Alfa Romeo, the transformation into a Jeep design meant allowing Chrysler get it to market more quickly and save "hundreds of millions of dollars" in engineering.
The need for Fiat to save money while it weathers the European situation has cut budgets for development, engineering and the pace of retooling the Toledo, Ohio plant to build the Cherokee. In a familiar case of snowballing at work, among the effects will be pushing back the Cherokee's volume sales date and delaying updates to some of Chrysler's other products.
