hi and thnx for looking ~!~ cool old JEEP Cherokee with the Classic Package.

4.0 6 cylinder with  5 speed tranny, and of course, 4X4.

I fall I love again and again with these old jeep. often the motors are just great and they run fine. this car is no exception. well serviced, driven with care, nothing broke or busted up.

smooth and strong motor with no visible leaks or issues. interior is fair to good considering the age. rides super and steers straight. stops with confidence, runs strong, smooth, good power and great handling. stops, starts, steers and runs great. looks pretty good, drives comfy, clean, safe and reliable.

but... it does have some rusty rockers. please see all photos. the frame, rails, etc. are fine, but the rocker panels are shot. looks bad, but does not effect the ride or safety.


full power, correct alloy wheels, white letter tires, roof rack, Sony CD changer, full gauges, decent stereo, good heat, clean motor, tranny and suspension. no knock, clunks, thunks, or issues. rides very well and is easy to operate. around town or blasting down the highway at 70mph, or through the snow, drive and arrive with the security of AWD and strong jeep vehicle.


I have bought and sold over 100 cars on eBay, and I am happy to continue. most of these cars for sale are new car dealer trades and or on consignment. as such, I am trying to avoid and keep down the number of re-lists, or not completed sales by high bidders. please do not bid or buy if you are short on cash, have many un-asked question or can't make arrangements with me regarding prompt payment and pick up.

  I can help with shipping, transport, motor vehicle paperwork, storage... all at little to no extra cost. happy to help, but please let me know ahead of time if you have an unusual situation ~!~

  at time of pick up, you can expect car, keys, title, bill of sale, emission report, key(s), CT DMV Q-1 and booklets as available. on occasion, especially last minute or weekend schedules, the title may have to follow within the next business day or two, just to allow payments to clear.


-----please see all photos carefully, I took every good and bad shot I could.


= not a new car, not perfect, no showroom.... but overall great shape and worth a buying. eBay sale price here ~!~ pay only what you want ~~. bid and buy, drive home. car is as shown and at my home; why not drive by, say hi and drive it to your house? clean title and all documents !!

Jeep Wrangler gets the wide-track treatment

Mon, 07 Jan 2013

When we read the tip about a Gulf-state diplomat in Rabat, Morocco who had supposedly "merged two Jeep Wranglers," we figured the two off-roaders were somehow linked front-to-back. Oh no. As you can see in the image above, taken from video of that vehicle actually traveling down the road and needing more than one lane to do it, the two Jeeps were put together side-by-side.
The seriously widebody truck is said to have six wheels, one at each corner and two in the middle. That's about all anyone seems to know about it at the moment, and that's probably enough - in these situations you know better than to ask why, just watch the video below.

2014 Jeep Cherokee uncovered with bold new look

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

Jeep has been shuttling around Alfa Romeo-based test mules and camouflaged prototypes of its replacement for the current Liberty for some time now. Those heavily disguised vehicles may have offered a glimpse of the new Jeep, but a new set of production-line images from Jalopnik tell a much more complete story.
Jalopnik report indicates unequivocally that the Cherokee name will be re-upped in place of Liberty, though it doesn't spell out exactly where that thinking comes from, though a name change has been rumored for some time. Chances are good that the same source that delivered these factory images delivered the name, as well.
The Cherokee absolutely has some Alfa Romeo DNA in its makeup, the final product is far from looking like its Guilietta ancestor. The athletic, high-waisted design is relatively attractive from what we can see here, though the grille and headlight treatment are sure to cause a lot of ruckus when the Cherokee makes its official debut at the New York Auto Show in April. The very narrow, pointed headlamps are pinched in a not particularly Jeep-ish fashion, and the curved, short version of the seven-slot grille is far more rakish than anything that Jeep has produced to date.

The List: Best of proving grounds
