 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

Fiat Chrysler wins top Total Quality Award for first time

Mon, Jul 20 2015

The Strategic Vision Total Quality Awards are 20 years old in 2015, and Chrysler has never topped the awards before. Until now, that is. Fiat Chrysler takes the overall award on the corporate level with six segment leaders from Fiat, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram. The Fiat 500 won Small Multi-Function Car, the 500e won Small Alternative Powertrain, the Dodge Challenger tied at the top in the Specialty Coupe category alongside the very un-coupe Mini Cooper Countryman, the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited took the Entry SUV category, the Dodge Durango won in Mid-Size SUV, and Ram took the overall in Best Non-Luxury Brand. The accolade means FCA has gone from one segment winner in 2010 to overall victory in five years. Cars have gotten so good, says Strategic Vision, that it is harder than ever to win. In fact, says the group, 18 years ago 85 percent of all vehicle brands had more than half a problem per vehicle. This year, no brand has more than half a problem per vehicle. The organization measures "over 155 specific aspects of the customer's experience," and scores are based on input from more than 46,000 customers. Other notables in and near the winner's circle include Volkswagen and General Motors, who tied for second place on the corporate scale, one point behind FCA. The Mini Cooper Roadster scored the highest of any model, the Corvette Stingray Convertible and Coupe scored the second- and third-highest. The Chevrolet Colorado is the first domestic Standard Pickup winner in more than ten years, and the Nissan Titan carried the Full-Size Pickup category. The press release below has all the details on how winners and losers are selected, and the full list of automakers and how they finished. "The Customer's 'Total' Experience Defines Quality, Fiat Chrysler Scores Highest in Total Quality," says Strategic Vision The 2015 Total Quality Awards® SAN DIEGO, Friday, July 17, 2015 — Unknown to many, when some consumer research firms rank a car company's quality performance they often do so by simply "counting problems." In the past, this may have been acceptable, but in today's modern and efficient manufacturing world the difference between the worst brand and best brand is LESS than half-a-problem per vehicle. Thus, any "quality ranking" based on this method is severely lacking in the complete picture of the "Total" Quality experience that customers actually use to judge their product ownership.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is the all-wheel-drive Hellcat you've been waiting for

Sun, Apr 9 2017

If the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT was the venerable SUV cranked to 10, the new Trackhawk goes to 11. Actually, make that 707, because the Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is a Hellcat by another name. Under the hood is the same 707-horsepower supercharged V8 from the sinister corporate cousins Charger and Challenger. The torque rating drops just a bit to 645 pound feet, versus the 650 of the Hellcats, but we don't think many people will be too upset. Especially since Jeep claims the Trackhawk is capable of a 3.5-second 0-60 mph run and a quarter-mile time of 11.6 seconds. The former is right in line with the Challenger Hellcat. View 24 Photos The Grand Cherokee Trackhawk also offers a unique difference to the Hellcats, and its not the SUV body style. The Trackhawk is all-wheel-drive. Power goes from the supercharged V8 to an 8-speed automatic and a single-speed transfer case. There's also an electronic limited slip differential at the back. Jeep beefed up the transfer case with a wider chain that features forged sprockets. The rear drive shaft and half shafts have been strengthened to handle the extra power. Power is split 40/60 front and rear in the default automatic setting, and becomes more rear biased in more aggressive driving modes. In the sportiest "Track" mode, power is split 30/70. In the least aggressive "Snow" mode, power is split 50/50. The sportier drive modes also firm up suspension and decreases shift times. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Helping manage all the power is a high-performance suspension with adaptive Bilstein shocks. The suspension lowers the SUV a full inch compared with normal Grand Cherokees. Wheels are 20 inches in diameter and 10 inches wide wrapped in 295-millimeter wide tires, either all-seasons or optional three-seasons. An optional forged set of wheels is available, too, which Jeep says will save 12 pounds of weight. The wheels are stopped by Brembo six-piston calipers and 15.75-inch rotors up front, and four-piston calipers and 13.73-inch rotors out back. Jeep says the front brakes are the largest ever fitted to one of its vehicles. Visually, you'll be hard-pressed to tell a Grand Cherokee Trackhawk from the current SRT variant. The bumpers and fender flares are roughly the same. But a tell-tale sign is the lack of fog lights.

NHTSA upgrading Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango headliner fire probe

Wed, 15 Jan 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation into headliner fires experienced by a small number of Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango owners has been upgraded to an engineering analysis, the step before the initiation of a recall. In August last year the investigation began with 146,000 Grand Cherokees from 2012 after three complaints were received, but a report on Edmunds says it has been expanded to include 593,299 vehicles covering the 2011-2013 model years for the Jeep and the Dodge Durango, which uses the same headliner assembly, because of possibly 52 incidents of fire.
In some of those incidents drivers have reported a burning odor, smoke or open flames that were contained to the headliner or migrated to another area of the passenger compartment. The culprit has apparently been found: NHTSA blaming an electrical short in the sun visor vanity light wiring, which is routed under the headliner and held in place by three screws. Chrysler began its own probe into the issue when it was first reported and is still looking into the situation while, "fully supporting the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's investigation."
