1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo
This Jeep has been nothing but reliable for me, has taken 2 trips to the dunes and 2 to go two-tracking. Nothing serious, it is my daily driver and I have treated it as such. Just getting bored with it.
Problems(big and small):
New Parts(installed within the last 2 years):
$2700
No trades, cash only. Will consider partial trades for parts for my 99 2.2L Impreza(nice floor mats, front strut bar, hella horns, hella 500's, silver RS hood or scoop, 205/55R16 All Season tires, etc)
Located in Michigan in the Metro-Detroit area. will meet within a reasonable distance for a serious buyer(3-5 hours).

- 193,000 miles

- DEI Remote Start System(it's a bit temperamental, but it does work)
- JCR Offroad full belly skid(installed, but could use a coat of paint).
- CB cable run from front to rear, Firestick and mount on drivers side. Someone stole the CB though, so obviously that's not included.
Problems(big and small):
- Hatch glass doesn't open(hatch does)
- Trans hangs a bit when it shifts from 1st to 2nd. Always has done this, hasn't been erradic and there are no other issues. Tranny Tom looked into it, and the snap ring for the 1-2 shift is broken. It always shifts, it just hangs a bit. Once again, it doesn't have any other issues and hasn't gotten worse in the nearly two years that I've owned it. The PO didn't even tell me about it and it really is not a big deal.
- Catalytic converter is rattling. Has been for a while, but should be replaced.
- Wear on drivers side seat(on the edge, not very major, see pics)
- Other obvious wear and tear on an 11 year old vehicle. It is in pretty nice shape though.
New Parts(installed within the last 2 years):
- 2-Core Radiator
- A/C compressor(obviously recharged, A/C is very cold)
