I have owned the car since 11/25/2010 and I can promise you wont find a cleaner Jeep that has been maintained better. I am the third owner of this Jeep, the first two owners were best friends. The person I bought it from was a man in his 60’s and his wife had driven it since they bought in 2000.

The original owner was just as meticulous about his maintenance I as am. Oil changes have always been done at 3,000 miles and all major services have been done on schedule.

Some quick info on this Jeep. The 5.9 Limited was a Grand Cherokee produced only for the 1998 model year, having more luxury and performance than that of the regular Limited, fewer than fifteen thousand were produced.
• Functioning heat-extracting hood louvers
• Revised grill with mesh grille inserts
• Five-spoke Ultrastar wheels
• An improved premium 180 watt, 10 speaker Infinity stereo system
• A rear speaker bar for additional Infinity speakers
• Calf-grain, soft leather seats and trim
• Leather door inserts
• Leather shift handle, e-brake and transfer case handle
• A full-leather spare tire cover with multiple pockets
• A center leather armrest in the rear seat
• A lower-profile roof rack
• Molded rocker panels
• 140 MPH speedometer
• A stronger 46RE transmission than the 5.2
• Standard trac-lock rear differential
• An electric fan
• A high-output 150A alternator

The exterior condition is 7.5/10. I am very picky about my cars and I would consider the condition to be much better than average for its miles and age.
• No rust
• No dents

The interior condition is 9.5/10. The back seats have only been sat in a handful of times, showing absolutely no wear.
• Leather is in perfect condition
• No cracks or scratches in dash
• Carpet is in perfect condition

Has brand new tires, and the wheels were just completely refinished. All parts have been installed in the last 2500 miles.

I have only had the Jeep off-road once on the way to a camping spot. I am selling because a new job has doubled my commute so I purchased a compact car.

I have well over 10k invested; it is truly one of the nicest Jeeps around. All modification were done with quality and longevity it mind and should last the owner easily for another 100K miles.


When I bought this Jeep it was in 100% original condition. Here is the list of some modifications I have performed.

• Oil Changes every 3k
• Oil pan gasket w/ rear main seal

• Cooling system (hoses, water neck, thermostat, coolant)
• Passenger front window regulator

Engine:
• Full exhaust (headers, new cat, muffler piping and tip)
• Upgraded ignition
• K&N Intake
• BBK Throttle body
• Custom tune (SCT, different octane tunes)

• All new steering components
• Kevins Off-road steering box brace

Other:
• Window tint (lifetime warranty)
• Vanco Brake System (Ford Explorer front brakes, upgraded rotor size, huge improvement in braking)

Thanks guys, it really is a great SUV I just don't have use for it anymore. I'm just hoping it goes to someone who appreciates it as much as me.
