Welcome Bidders, This 1997 blue Jeep Wrangler is a vehicle which I am putting up for auction after an ending contract agreement with an advertising company. The truck has been used for photo-ops and has been featured in advertisements and magazines as it is an extremely well made replica of an Eastern European off-road police vehicle. It has served us well, but as the two-year agreement is over, it is time to sell. The white stripes and lettering on the truck are decals and easily removable. As per the vehicle history from what I understand a few years back the car was hit on the left passenger side and was not fixed professionally. Since the car was used as a replica model for photo-ops, it was non consequential to us. We were given a quote of 500 dollars for it to be fixed by a professional. See the picture of the left side of the vehicle (with black stripe). The vehicle has salvage title history but was fixed,inspected, and a clear title was issues several years ago. Cosmetically, it is not a perfect car. It may need some TLC, but everything is in working order. The engine runs smoothly (no check engine light on, no emission issues). The transmission and clutch are operating as they should and the 4x4 mechanism works perfectly. Last Fall, we outfitted this vehicle with a brand-new fast back soft top and brand new door skins. The tires are in good shape and have 80% of life left in them. Since this vehicle was constantly driven between photo sessions in Pennsylvania and Manhattan, NY I can personally attest to how much fun it is to drive it with the top down, on the open road, as well as its great and unique use of off-road driving. It also drives very well in the snow and is practically all-terrain. It is a reliable daily driver, with all service done in a timely manner. It is equipped with a pioneer radio with a cd player and a panel-in aux input, as well as a sound bar with pioneer speakers and a CB radio. It has a thin layer of outdoor carpeting which makes it alright to get it wet in the rain, as well as making the vehicle much more quiet. Please keep in mind that it is a seventeen year old,off-road vehicle so dents and scratches are a give-in(see pictures), and while you should not expect a showroom vehicle, it is a gem in its own right. The bad: Wipers work on high speed onlyLeft side body work not done professionally Some spots of rust on doors (no major issues, no frame rust) Rear seat belts are missing The good:Engine in very good condition with good compression on all four cylinders Manual five-speed transmission that shifts perfectly No leaks of any kind4x4 works greatInspected in a timely manner (oil changes,brakes,fluids,valve cover gasket done recently)Solid daily driver with no issuesNew top last fall (600$)New door skins (200$)Amazing drive Please see pictures, good luck bidding, and please contact me if you need any more information.
