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.

Chrysler recalls 468,700 Jeep Grand Cherokees, Commanders over rollaway risk

Mon, 13 May 2013

Chrysler has issued a recall covering a combined 469,000 units of the 2005-2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee and the 2006-2010 Jeep Commander (inset). Of that number, 295,000 are in the US, roughly 33,000 in Canada and Mexico and the remainder in other markets. It seems an electrical fault in the transfer case can allow the affected SUVs to shift into neutral on their own, while an Associated Press report says that Chrysler had "found cracks in a circuit board that turns the four-wheel-drive system on and off." The issue was discovered when an owner started his car remotely and it rolled away.
Chrysler is expected to begin notifying owners in June 2013, who can then take their cars to dealers. The dealer will reflash the final drive controller free of charge. There's a bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below with more information.

Chrysler recalls 350k vehicles over ignition switches

Thu, 25 Sep 2014

Chrysler has announced a recall covering 349,442 vehicles due to ignition switches that can either become stuck or move without warning. All of the affected vehicles are from the 2008 model year, and were built before May 12, 2008.
The automaker has learned that ignition keys on some vehicles "may not fully return to the 'ON' position after rotation to the 'START' position during engine-startup," the company said in a statement. Additionally, "an ignition key may not fully return to the 'ON' position after rotation to the 'START' position and may inadvertently move through the 'ON' position to 'ACCESSORY' or 'OFF.'"
Chrysler says it is unaware of any related injuries, and notes that while reduced braking, engine or steering power is possible in such instances, the airbags are not affected. The later stands in contrast to General Motors' recent rash of high-profile recalls, and it's an important distinction that Chrysler (understandably) felt necessary to call out in bold print in its press release.

Jeep Cherokee finally dealer-bound

Tue, 22 Oct 2013

We had our First Drive of the 2014 Jeep Cherokee last month, but it appears that prospective buyers won't have too much longer to finally get time behind the wheel of the new small Jeep.
Automotive News is reporting that after a two-month delay, Jeep dealers will finally start receiving their first shipments of the new Cherokee, in the next 10 days. A Chrysler spokesperson confirmed to Autoblog that the Cherokee is indeed on its way to Jeep dealers.
According to AN, about 23,000 Cherokees have been built since production commenced back in June, but potential powertrain issues forced Jeep to make adjustments to the Cherokee along the way. Automotive News says that in order to make sure there are no issues with the Cherokee before it reaches customers, it is testing each vehicle after it rolls off the assembly line at a rented test track near the vehicle's Toledo North Assembly Plant.
