1998 Jeep Cherokee
~150k on chassis, ~70k on engine
Price: $4000
Cliffs: No problems, no CEL, not rusty, awesome Jeep for onroad or off. Tons of recent maintenance. Ready to drive anywhere.
The previous owner of this Jeep maintained it very well and offroaded it some. I just recently did a huge round of maintenance to get the vehicle ready to be driven for a long time without any worries, but now I’m moving in a different direction. I never drove this on any roads that a regular econobox FWD car couldn’t get through. I’ve gotten it muddy in puddles before, but never offroaded or strained any parts. It’s in TOP CONDITION. The rear locking differential is mild for daily driving and makes this Jeep amazing in the snow!

This is the closest to offroading that I got. Backroads/dirt roads in northern Michigan.
I can’t stress this enough, this vehicle is in immaculate condition. I’ve got a 2 page maintenance log of everything that I’ve done to it and wouldn’t hesitate to drive this anywhere. I recently took it on a 1,700 mile roadtrip without so much as a hiccough. I’m sure anyone who has seen it or been around it can vouch for it!
Looking for $4000 or best offer. More pictures to come soon.
