Black 1996 Jeep Cherokee Classic Sport Utility 4-Door 4.0L with a mileage of 161,927 miles

This is a seized/forfeited vehicle and MUST be sold according to Illinois law: It MUST be sold in an auction-type setting such as eBay.  There is no Buy-It-Now option.  We will NOT accept any trades for this vehicle.  The vehicle is being sold AS IS and with NO existing warranty.  All sales are FINAL, NO returns will be accepted, and NO price adjustments will be given.  The vehicle will be sold to the highest bidder after the starting price has been satisfied.  There is no reserve on this item.

The vehicle (again) has 161,927 miles.  The vehicle has been driven by us only 2-3 miles, but appears to be in good to fair condition.  There are no known MAJOR mechanical problems (see below negative descriptions).  The vehicle has an AM/FM stereo with cassette player (stereo works; we did not try the casseette player).  The outside antenna was removed and placed (lying down) on the top of the dashboard.  The vehicle is equipped with A/C, which appears to be in working order.  The vehicle is also equipped with 4WD and a tow package on the rear.  The vehicle has a tilt steering wheel and a roof rack.  The seats are in fair condition, however need to be cleaned.  There is a small tear and hole in the driver's seat and a small hole in the front passenger seat.  The vehicle has power locks in working order (except that the passenger-side door needs to be locked/unlocked fron the inside).  The vehicle has power windows, all in working order.  The vehicle has manual side-view mirrors in working order.  All lights, lamps, signals, horn, front and back wipers are all in good working order.  The brakes and tires appear to be in good condition and the vehicle has aluminum wheels.  The vehicle has cruise control, however, we did not try it.

Notable minor damage/scratches/dents/imperfections/things that don't work or need to be replaced/repaired:  The vehicle will only start in the neutral position; we believe the vehicle will need a neutral safety switch (a minor repair).  The vehicle has a cracked windshield on the passenger-side (P/S).  There is a small rust spot on the D/S roof above the windshield.  There is more significant rust on the D/S and P/S running boards, belows both front doors.  The rear bumper shows numerous scratches and some rust spots.  The D/S and P/S rear 1/4's have small rust spots.  There is a small dent and scratches on the P/S rear door.  The P/S headlight molding is being held on with electrical tape, however, the light is in working order.  The vehicle has been in inside storage since September 2012 and periodically started.  The vehicle will, however, need a new battery and a tune up.  The vehicle starts right up upon jumping it and with no known major problems.

Zombie cars: A dozen discontinued vehicles people still buy new

Thu, Jan 6 2022

Car models come and go, but as revealed by monthly sales data, once a car is discontinued, it doesn't just disappear instantly. And in the case of some models, vanishing into obscurity can be a slow, tedious process. That's the case with the 12 cars we have here. All of them have been discontinued, but car companies keep racking up "new" sales with them. There are actually more discontinued cars that are still registering new sales than what we decided to include here. We kept this list to the oldest or otherwise most interesting vehicles still being sold as new, including a supercar. We'll run the list in alphabetical order, starting with *drumroll* ... BMW 6 Series: 55 total sales BMW quietly removed the 6 Series from the U.S. market during the 2019 model year. It had been available in three configurations, a hardtop coupe, a convertible and a sleek four-door coupe-like shape.   BMW i8: 18 total sales We've always had a soft spot for the BMW i8, despite the fact that it never quite fit into a particular category. It was sporty, but nowhere near as fast as similarly-priced competitors. It looked very high-tech and boasted a unique carbon fiber chassis design and a plug-in hybrid powertrain, but wasn't really designed for maximum efficiency or maximum performance. Still, the in-betweener was very cool to look at and drive, and 18 buyers took one home over the course of 2021.   Chevy Impala: 750 total sales The Impala represented classic American tastes at a time when American tastes were shifting away from soft-riding sedans with big interior room and trunk space and into higher-riding crossovers. A total of 750 sales were inked last year.   Chrysler 200: 15 total sales The Chrysler 200 was actually a pretty nice sedan, with good looks and decent driving dynamics let down by a lack of roominess, particularly in the back seat. Of course, as we said regarding the Chevy Impala, the number of Americans in the market for sedans is rapidly winding down, and other automakers are following Chrysler's footsteps in canceling their slow-selling four-doors. Even if Chrysler never really found its footing in the ultra-competitive midsize sedan segment, apparently dealerships have a few leftover 2017 200s floating around. And for some reason, 15 buyers decided to sign the dotted line to take one of these aging sedans home last year.

2015 Jeep Renegade brings the cute

Tue, 04 Mar 2014

The jig is up, the noose is out, we finally found it: the Renegade that Jeep has made, retrieved for a bounty.
Okay, enough of that. Meet the Renegade - Jeep's cute little compact crossover that makes its official debut here at the Geneva Motor Show. We recently brought you a massive Deep Dive into what makes the Renegade tick, and we're now getting our first live look at the tiny Jeep, live from its coming out party in Switzerland.
With the exception of associate editor Jonathon Ramsey, who doesn't know what he's talking about, we at Autoblog are kind of smitten with the little Jeep - it's a really unique package, featuring details that really make it kind of special (notice that jerry can pattern in the taillights, for example). Jeep will offer the Renegade with either a 1.4-liter turbo-four (from the Fiat 500L) or a 2.4-liter naturally aspirated four (from the Dodge Dart), with either a six-speed manual transmission or a nine-speed automatic. There will even be a Trailhawk version with four-wheel drive - properly trail-rated, to boot. The Renegade also features a nifty new My Sky removable roof panel system, giving this little cutie sort of a baby Wrangler feel.

NHTSA closes investigation into Jeep Liberty fires

Sun, 16 Mar 2014

The investigation that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened into the Jeep Liberty in October 2013 has been closed. NHTSA received two (!) complaints about fires starting in the driver's door, thought to be caused by the master power window switch. The initial estimate was that 80,000 Libertys could be roped into a possible recall, but according to a report in the Detroit News the agency examined records for 425,000 Chrysler products that used the same window switch, including the Dodge Nitro and Chrysler Town & Country minivan.
After canvassing 265 warranty claims related to the master switches, NHTSA concluded that the rate of fires compared to the "large population of vehicles" was rather low, and that there was no trend pattern behind the few issues it did find. Perhaps with that, and the closure of the trailer hitch investigation, the Liberty can finally rest in peace.
