2001 Jeep Cherokee Sport 4-Door 4.0L, 98k miles, 2 owner

2001 Jeep Cherokee Sport 4x4. Auction reserve is $1500. Clear title in my name. I am second owner and purchased the car in January 2014 for my daughter to drive. At that time it had about 75,000 miles. Current mileage about 98,900. Daughter is graduating soon so selling this Jeep to get her an upgrade. She has used this car as a daily driver here in Atlanta for almost 2 years and it is a solid driver but in need of some basic maintenance as described below. This is a cash only sale.

Body, heels & tires: See pictures - underneath there are some small rust spots in a couple of places on the floorboards. There is no frame rust other than surface rust on unpainted areas. No frame rust or anything structural. Pictures also show body dings and dents in various places – particularly passenger side front fender. Someone attempted to steal the car and there is damage to the outside door lock cylinders but the outside lock on the driver side works. (Power locks work.) No broken glass. Front wipers work, ear wiper works. Headlights and turn signals fine. Passenger outside door handle cracked and needs replacing but works. Tires are needing replacement. Still have a little tread left but they are cheap tires and about worn out and they make noise going down the road. Factory rims have some curb scrapes but otherwise fine. Full size spare and rim included.

Mechanical: Engine oil changed every 5,000-7,000 miles since I have owned it. Doesn’t smoke or use oil. Transmission and 4wd operate fine. No slippage. Many cars this old have substantial leaks at engine and transmission – this one doesn’t (see pics). Transmission oil changed 6 months ago to synthetic and never uses oil. Transfer case oil changed 6 months ago too. Radiator replaced in May 2014 and water pump replaced in Sept 2014 (have receipts for both) but since then there is a coolant leak developed somewhere causing me to have to add water about once a week—this needs to be fixed asap. Valve cover gasket replaced Sept 2014 (have receipt). Ignition coil and spark plugs replaces 15,000 miles ago (have receipt). Exhaust system works fine but poorly repaired…factory hangars came loose and makeshift wires are all that keep it from rattling badly. Catalytic convertor is fine and muffler replaced last summer. Aside from the bad tires the car was taken in to the mechanic recently because my daughter reported front end noise. The mechanic wrote out a list of what was needed as follows (I am quoting) sway bar and link bushings are deteriorated, light play in ball joints, ontrol arm bushings are deteriorated, lay in track bar, lay in tie rod ends, lay in drag link and link end. No work was done, ince the mechanic told me the car was safe to drive—I just didn’t want to spend the $. All four shock absorbers no doubt need replacing. The car drives fine going down the road and doesn’t pull or wander but if you hit a bump or go over railroad tracks you can tell it needs the maintenance described above to be done. Brakes are fine, on’t make noise or pull, ut I have never done any work on them so I would plan to do a routine brake job in the next few months.

Interior and accessories: The rear lift gate struts don’t hold up the tailgate all the way. Some oil got spilled in the rear cargo floor so that carpet needs to go. Otherwise the carpets in the front floorboard and rear seat area are fine but worn and tired. The front & rear seat upholstery is decent, ut again—tired. No big nasty stains, tc - just worn. The power windows work fine, o does the cig lighter, D player, M/FM and heater. Air conditioner is all there but does not blow cold—it blew cold when I first purchased the car but I have never attempted to service it after it stopped cooling.

Feel free to email any questions at all. Thanks for looking.
