Selling a 1996 Jeep Cherokee with 172K on the odometer. It’s been a great vehicle for us, but it’s time for it to go to a new home. We are the second owner of the Cherokee, first owner was a naval aviator who had it from 1996 until the end of 2011—the Cherokee spent its time in California, Maryland, Virginia, and Florida. We bought it two-and-a-halfnyears ago, but now our children are in college and we’re doing some downsizing of our vehicles. This Jeep has been well taken care of and really has done no extreme off-roading.

Here are the particulars of the Jeep.

1996 Cherokee four doors – body is in great shape, there is no rust. I will note that the driver’s door has some dent damage, although the door opens and closes with no problem. I have included a picture of the door so you can see the dents.

The previous owner did some cutting on wheel wells to accommodate larger tires. He did a great job and it looks well-done. See the pictures.

Color – Red, this Cherokee was kept inside most of its life, so the paint is in pretty good shape. There is some peeling along the front fender, but for an older vehicle the paint is in good shape. It cleans up really well.

4.0 liter six cylinders engine, in absolutely great condition. It pulls strong, no smoke at all, this motor had oil changes every 3,500 miles.

Transmission – 5 speed, pretty rare in Cherokees. We put a new clutch in about 10K mile ago and being an older transmission, we put in Redline MT-90 transmission fluid.

Gearing – This Cherokee is geared low, max speed in 1^st is about 10mph and the Jeep in 2H maxes out at 65 mph. It’s geared great for the out-of-doors. No problem engaging the four wheel drive in 4H or 4L.

Suspension – Four inch high country lift, well-done and we put it on the rack recently to make sure everything was tight underneath.

Wheels – Goodyear Wranglers on American Racing centerline rims. Tires are LT 265/75R16s. They have @12K miles on them; they’re in really good shape. We have a full size spare on the rear swing arm.

Interior – Light gray in pretty good shape, no stains or tears on the upholstery. The driver’s seat is showing wear and some cracks on the side, but it is serviceable.

Maintenance – Both owners religiously followed the maintenance. In the last 5K miles we replaced the starter, battery, and installed a better Flow Kooler water pump. On the dashboard we installed a water temperature gauge.

Extras:

· Spare tire swing arm with a fully mounted spare

· Driving lights on separate switch in the front and twin back up lights on another switch – it’s great to have these lights when you out in the wilderness at night.

· Class three tow hitch with ball.

· Side rocker panels to assist step up if needed – these are legitimate well built steel side steps bolted on, not cheap cosmetic ones that break.

· Roof rack

· CD radio with six foot antennae

· Virginia safety inspection good through March 2015.

· There are no leaks with this vehicle, the transmission seals are tight.

Don’t hesitate to send me an e-mail with questions. It’s a great vehicle, a lot of fun, and you’ll get many positive looks and comments.

Here are some questions I answered a previous time I put the Jeep up for auction (I had a buyer who never completed the sale)

Answers to Questions

Q:	Hi I have had these Jeeps in the past and like them. Just a couple of questions. 1. Does this problem with thee drivers door let much air blow in? 2. How does the heater work, since I live in IL? 3. Do you think this Jeep would make it back to IL if I drove it back? 4. Thanks for any and all info. Matt and Mary	Jan-23-14
A:	1 - Not much air comes through the driver's door, I feel some on a cold winter day, but not much. The other three doors are tight. 2 - Heater works great, so does the air conditioning. When it s 20 degrees here, the Cherokee is warm in the cabin within 5 to 7 minutes. 3 - Well, I have driven to Virginia Beach about 400 miles round trip with no problems. IL you can make, but this beast likes to go 60-65 mph on the Interstate, so it will be a 12 hour trip for you. Thanks for the questions.
Q:	Very interested and hoping to make purchase of Jeep in next week to 10 days. Can you provide more info on "severe" damage accident in 2012. Also, if you give me a sense of what you are hoping to get for the Jeep, I can quickly determine if we are in the same ballpark. I am in Texas, but travel to DC frequently for work - so may want to arrange a test drive.	Jan-20-14
A:	Thanks for the interest. Interesting they characterized my son's accident as severe when the only thing that prevented him from driving away was a flat tire. Accident resulted in a flat tire that was repaired, windshield that was cracked and replaced, we had the door hinge re-welded to strengthen it, and a new left side mirror that we replaced. Some of the crumpling on the door resulted from this accident, although the door already had some dents from the previous owner, so we simply added to it. My son and I debated about replacing the door, but it works fine and frankly we think in our own way it gives it some character. We paid out of pocket from the accident--the windshield, mirror, welding, and flat (and tow) came to $800--most of it was spent to replace the windshield. For your planning, we live near Quantico Marine Corps Base, a test drive can certainly be arranged.

2018 Jeep Wrangler Spied Looking More Aerodynamic | Autoblog Minute

Sat, May 7 2016

This week we got an early look at the 2018 Jeep Wrangler. So what we see in these spy shots, or at least we think we see, is a vehicle that?s going to use more aluminum in a bid to reduce weight and thus improve fuel economy.

Certain Chrysler owners eligible for buyback program

Mon, Jul 27 2015

Certain car owners whose Chrysler vehicles contain dangerous defects will soon have a way to get rid of their lemons without losing money. As part of an agreement with federal regulators, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles has agreed to buy back more than 500,000 vehicles susceptible to veering out of control without warning at above market-value prices. The deal mainly covers certain models of RAM trucks, the Dodge Dakota pickup and Dodge Durango SUV. Further, owners of more than 1.5 million Jeep Liberty and Grand Cherokees at heightened risk for lethal fires are eligible to trade in their vehicles at above market value or, alternately, get a gift certificate if they prefer to have repairs made. Chrysler has "a heavy responsibility to make sure the products they make are safe for the traveling public," said Mark Rosekind, administrator of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. "... Here, we are sending an unambiguous signal to industry that if you skirt the laws or violate the law, or don't live up to the responsibility that consumers expect, we are going to penalize you." The buy-back and trade-in options for motorists come as part of an unprecedented penalty NHTSA slapped against Chrysler for violating federal motor-vehicle safety laws. Chrysler will pay a $105 million fine, the highest ever levied by the regulatory agency. In addition to the buy-backs, Chrysler also agreed to an independent monitor for three years. Investigators had outlined problems in the company's conduct in 23 recalls that affected more than 11 million defect vehicles. As part of a consent-order agreement, Chrysler acknowledged it did not notify vehicle owners of recalls in an effective manner and did not notify NHTSA of safety problems. Though those recalls affected millions of drivers, the buy-back and trade-in options are only for a small portion of the vehicles involved. Because Chrysler struggled to fix the problem and no repair was apparent, Rosekind said the buy-backs are reserved "for customers who didn't have a remedy." Buy-backs are for trucks and SUVs affected by three recalls that occurred in 2013 (recalls 13V-038, 13V-527 and 13V-529), that addressed a rear-axle pinion nut that could come loose and cause a loss of vehicle control. Those recalls covered 579,228 vehicles, including 2009-2012 Ram 1500, 2500, 3500, 4500 and 5500 trucks, 2009-2012 Dodge Dakotas, 2009 Chrysler Aspen and the 2009 Dodge Durango.
