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

New Air Conditioning Compressor, New Air Conditioning Dryer

New Transmission Cooler Lines

New Left Front Hub and Bearing Assembly

New Complete Exhaust System

Four New Tires (Less than 5,000 miles on the tires)

New Professionally Installed Windshield

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.

5.    It is important to keep in mind that the vehicle listed is pre-owned, and it is very difficult to describe every small mark on it.

iii.     I shall not be held liable for any such cancellation.

Best car infotainment systems of 2022

Wed, Jul 20 2022

Declaring one infotainment system the best over any other is an inherently subjective matter. You can look at quantitative testing for things like input response time and various screen load times, but ask a room full of people that have tried them all what their favorite is, and you’re likely to get a lot of different responses. Some prefer systems that are exclusively touch-based with a simplistic user interface. Others may prefer a non-touch system that is navigable via a scroll wheel. You can compare it to the phone operating system wars. Just like some folks prefer Android phones over iPhones, we all have our own opinions for what makes up the best infotainment interface. All that said, our combined experience tells us that a number of infotainment systems are at least better than the rest. WeÂ’ve narrowed it down to five total systems in their own subcategories that stand out to us. Read on below to see our picks, and feel free to make your own arguments in the comments. Best overall: UConnect — Various Stellantis products If thereÂ’s one infotainment system that all of us agree is excellent, itÂ’s UConnect. Both UConnect 4 and the latest UConnect 5 software are included in this praise, too. It has numerous qualities that make it great, but above all else, UConnect is simple and straightforward to use. Ease of operation is one of the most (if not the single most) vital parts of any infotainment system interface. If youÂ’re expected to be able to tap away on a touchscreen while driving and still pay attention to the road, a complex infotainment system is going to remove your attention from the number one task at hand: driving. UConnect uses a simple interface that puts all of your key functions in a clearly-represented row on the bottom of the screen. Tap any of them, and it instantly pulls up that menu. We like the radio/media interface — itÂ’s super easy to swap stations or sources. The menu structure is easy to grasp, and of course both Apple CarPlay/Android Auto are available if you want them. UConnect 5 is a big visual improvement over UConnect 4, but thankfully it retains the same ease of use as the outgoing system. WeÂ’ll also point out that Stellantis is able to adapt UConnect to different screen shapes and sizes with great success — it works stunningly well in the vertical 12-inch screen of the Ram.

Jeep Comanche Moab Concept: Hell yeah!

Mon, Mar 28 2016

The moment I saw the Jeep Renegade I knew it was a winner, at least in terms of styling. The Renegade's "face" is exactly what small 21st-century Jeeps should look like. It has loads of Jeep's visual heritage DNA – important! – that has been brought up-to-date in the best possible way. (Now if only they could graft that face on to the new-ish Cherokee...). Where the Renegade falls short is what's under the skin. Thanks to misguided marketing, it is saddled with a rather unremarkable USA-spec 2.4L four, undersized tires, so-so ground clearance, an iffy 9-speed automatic, and a questionable (available) low range. I don't mind the independent suspension; in fact I embrace it, as IFS/IRS is the future in terms of off-road suspension design. So, for me, the Renegade is a close-but-no-cigar vehicle, at least as it currently stands. This new Comanche, however, shows how the Renegade can evolve; both as a 4-door SUV, and in terms of how spin-off models can be developed. Big beefy tires, flared out fenders, and great ground clearance are the main ingredients that make this work visually. Still wish for a 3.6L V6 under the hood, but the 2.0L diesel isn't a bad alternative. Anyway, I think a Comanche pickup makes more sense than the predicted Wrangler-based pickup. Why? I'm not big on retro-vehicles in general. Rarely do they survive long term. Besides, the Comanche would be far more civilized and livable. I could see this Comanche pickup as a daily driver much more so than a Wrangler-based pickup. Yeah, I like and value creature comforts over ultimate off-road ability. I think most pickup buyers would agree. Finally, while there is a large devoted Wrangler following who would love a Wrangler-based pickup, I bet this Renegade-based Comanche would bring more new customers into the Jeep tent – especially over a much wider age demographic.
