Hello and thanks for viewing our 1996 Jeep Cherokee XJ 4x4 Sport with the 4.0 Inline 6 cylinder engine. This is not your typical 23 year old Jeep. This unit is in amazing condition cosmetically and mechanically. It’s got a perfect exterior , perfect interior and it runs and drives like a brand new truck. There is no Rust or Rot on the body. Just some basic oxidization of the drive shaft and exhaust , no major rust or rot and nothing that affects the structural integrity of the vehicle. There is absolutely no black spray paint or messy undercoating sprayed on the bottom in a attempt to hide or cover anything, what you see under there is what you get, the jeep is rock solid. This Jeep was extremely well maintained and all fluids and scheduled maintenance's were preformed on time. No expense was spared on the upkeep of this rig. The engine fires right over with a quick half turn of the key and the engine idles smooth and sound free. The transmission shifts 100% right on the mark through all its gears with zero banging or slipping. The truck does not get hot even after running parked for over an hour. There are no leaks of any sort and the engine doesn't burn any oil. All the interior gadgets work 100% as they should and are 100% stock. There is no cracked glass. The paint shines like new there is absolutely zero rust or major damage on the body. No Major scratches or dents , nothing you can really see with the naked eye. Mechanically this truck is also a real winner, these 4.0's have been documented to go over 1 million miles and with the 97k miles this truck is barely broken in. In my 18 years hands on in the auto industry, mileage IS NOT the most important thing on a used car anyway. The Single most important thing about any pre-owned vehicle is the previous owner and how well they have taken care of the vehicle. Iv'e seen vehicles with barely 50k miles on them that haven't had a oil change since they ran out of factory warranty and were beat to all heck. Then ive also seen vehicle's with well over 200k that ran absolutely perfect because they were amazingly well taken care of. Some people now a day's don't even change their oil at all. So with this truck, you have the best of both worlds, Low Miles and it was municipality owned and serviced regularly and stored indoors since 1995. Car and driver magazine rated the 4.0 inline 6 as one of the TOP 3 engines of all time "that refuse to die". . The original factory undercoating is still intact, plain and simple, there is nothing to hide here! All four tires have plenty of tread life left and are not dry rotted. They look almost new to me. The brakes work great and don't grind or squeak. Also this truck was never used to plow snow so the front end is still in great shape. The rear suspension sits just as high as day 1 .This truck was very lightly used all the way around. The engine bay is really clean and i do not powerwash any of my vehicles engines , I think it does more harm then it's worth , so the clean engine you see is exactly how I got it. All fluids have been checked and or changed. The interior is so clean and perfect one would never imagine how old this truck is , it looks brand down . Also another great thing about this truck is that it's 100% stock, and It's ready for you to customize to your own liking's or enjoy it the way it is. Zero Major accidents or damage, No salvage history and a clean and clear Title. To some it all up, For its age, this truck is pretty much mechanically and cosmetically perfect. These trucks are getting harder and harder to find with each day that passes. Throw in the low mileage and no rust and we're talking almost impossible. There are no odors in the truck because its a non smoker and doesn't seem to have had any pets in it.. This truly is an amazing rig. It flies straight down the road and it doesn't drift when you let go of the wheel. Even though this is one of the cleanest and nicest jeeps I've had in awhile, it is still 23!years old and does have a tiny amount of use and wear, don't expect a brand new truck and we won't have any problems... I said it before and I'll say it again, this truck is absolutely amazing and it's next owner will definitely not be disappointed. If your going to buy it now or make an offer, please have the funds pre secured, and leave the Non Refundable depsoit.. The truck is used and any mechanic could suggest this or that regarding wearable maintenance items. I am not saying anything needs to be replaced or repaired, just saying because its used , anyone could suggest this or that. I have been buying and selling for over 10 years on eBay and have been able to maintain solid feedback the whole time. I do my best to honestly describe each vehicle, and my descriptions are my opinion based on 17 years in the used auto industry. Over the years I have found that a few simple rules and policies can save my self from wasting time with fake buyers who bid for entertainment purposes only. The truck is available to be seen pretty much 7 days a week upon appointment and again for out of state buyers I can take as many additional pictures as requested and I can also provide a video of the vehicle starting and running. I do not have any policies that any other legitimate auction site has. Again if you buy it now or I decide to take an offer please be prepared to leave the deposit and follow thru with the deal. No low balling please do a little research and a rust free clean 4.0 XJ Cherokee 4x4 truck in this shape is worth this kind of money and its a Sport Edition. There is no such thing as buying and then coming to "look" at it. If you want to look please do that before purchasing. Again I will go out of my way to meet for an appointment or send pictures and videos. I can also assist with shipping worldwide if needed. I am a very easy guy to work with this is how I feed my family so I take the process and my feedback very seriously. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to call me at 732-503-7056. The last truck I had similar to this didnt last 24 hours on eBay and was no where near as nice, so dont miss out on this one. If you really like it , i suggest "Buying it Now" if it is sold at full price i will include my "DRIVE HOME WARRANTY" (ask for details). If it is still for sale after a few days i may decide to accept an offer but It is also for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the listing early at any time. Thanks again and god bless
