1997 JEEP WRANGLER 4X4, 4SPEED MANUAL SHIFT, HARD TO FIND HARDTOP, 4CYL, AIR, GREAT ON GAS! AND WE ALL KNOW WHAT GAS IS DOING. JEEP IS BEING SOLD IN "AS-IS" CONDITION, PERIOD. YOU BID YOU WIN YOU BOUGHT IT. NOW BEFOR I STATE THE FACTS, I AM SELLING THIS FOR A FRIEND WHO DOES NOT KNOW MUCH ABOUT EBAY OR COMPUTERS, SO I DONT WANT ANY NEGITIVE FEEDBACK IF YOUR NOT HAPPY, I SUGGEST YOU CALL ME OR EMAIL ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE BEFOR PLACING A BID. THE JEEP IS ALSO FORSALE LOCALLY AND I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO CANCEL THE AUCTION IF NEED BE. NOW WITH THAT BEING SAID, I HAVE STARTED AND DRIVEN THE JEEP AND IT SEEMS TO ME TO BE A PRETTY COOL NICE JEEP AND WELL WORTH THE DIME. I AM NO MECHANIC, BUT A MECHANIC HAS GIVEN IT A BASIC INSPECTION AND THUS THE ITEM HAS BEEN SET OUT FORSALE...I HAVE BEEN ON EBAY FOR A LONG TIME, AND WILL TELL YOU EVERYTHING I SPOTED THAT MAY NEED ATTENTION TOO, OR MAY NOT..SO LOOK AT THE PICTURES AND YOU BE THE JUDGE, AND FEEL FREE TO ORDER YOUR OWN INSPECTION, OR COME AND TEST DRIVE IT.OVERALL SEEMS LIKE A NICE JEEP READY FOR A NEW HOME. PS...DONT FORGET SOFT TOPS ARE CHEEP, BUY ONE WITH A HARD TOP AND YOUR READY FOR RAIN, SNOW, WINTER ETC..I KNOW I HAD A JEEP CJ7 WHEN I WAS YOUNGER..HARDTOP IS PRICE-LESS!! POSITIVES: A: HARDTOP...I SAW ON EBAY THAT THEY ALONE ARE WORTH ABOUT 1200.00 TO 1500.00- USED CONDITION..I DONT HAVE A CLUE WHAT A NEW ONE IS..BUT THIS ONE IS REALLY NICE! IT HAS BUILT IN REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER AND WIPER. THE SIDE WINDOWS ARE TINTED TOO. I DID NOT SEE ANY CRACKS OR REPAIRS, ETC..REALY NICE CLEAN TOP! B: NEW SPARE TIRE, NICE SET OF ALLOY WHEELS, ALL WINDOWS INCLUDING THE FRONT NICE CONDITION, DIDNT SEE ANY CHIPS. C: SUPER GOOD ON GAS, BEING A 4CYL, BUILT IN SPEAKERS ON ROLL BAR, PIONEER CD, FM ETC...WORKS D: FACTORY AIR, HOWEVER THE FAN WORKS GREAT, AND THE HEAT, BUT WHEN I PUT IT TO COLD AIR, IT BLEW JUST MINOR COLD AIR OUT, SO PLEASE BEAWARE IT MIGHT NEED A CHARGE, OR IT MIGHT NEED SOMETHING ELSE TO GET IT TO WORK..THE COMPRESOR LOOKED GOOD, BUT I CANT PROMISE YOU WHAT IT NEEDS..SO KEEP THAT IN MIND. NEW BELT ON MOTOR, AND LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER NEW PART OR TWO. E: SEATS LOOK GOOD, EXCEPT FOR THE DIRVERS SIDE ON BOTTOM HAD SOME BAD TEARS...SHOULD BE A CHEEP FIX, OR BUY SOME SEAT COVERS. F: REAR DEFOGGER, REAR WIPER, ALL SWITCHS AND LIGHTS WORKED, ETC. DOORS ALL LOCK AS THEY SHOULD, AND TAIL GATE OPENS NICE TOO. G: TIRES SEEM TO HAVE GOOD TREAD LEFT..THE FRONTS ARE BETTER THAN THE REAR, WITH SOME SIGNS OF AGE. THE SPARE SEEMS NEW. H: JEEP SHIFTED NICE AND DROVE NICE AND WENT INTO ALL GEARS FINE. BRAKES SEEM GOOD TOO. I: NO MAJOR RUST SPOTS ON BODY, NO SIGNS OF REPAIRS...YOU DO HAVE NORMAL CHIPPING AND OR FADING ETC, DO TO THE AGE AND USAGED FOR A 1997, BUT OVERALL PRETTY NICE..SEE PICS..EVEN UNDERNIETH LOOKS PRETTY NICE TOO..EVERYONE KNOWS JEEPS RUST AND AROUND THE FRONT WINDOW SO I TOOK SOME PICS OF THOSE AREAS. LOOKS GOOD. J: MOTOR AND RADIATOR LOOKS CLEAN, SEE PICS..ALL GAUGES WORKING, NO NEGITIVE LIGHTS ON, ETC. UNDERSIDE LOOKS SOLID, AND CAB MOUNTS TOO! PRETY NICE I THINK CONSIDERING ITS A JEEP AND THE AGE..MUCH LIFE LEFT ON THIS ONE, IN MY OPINION. K: NICE BUILT IN SPEAKER BAR, AND SOLID RUNNING BOARDS, AND GOOD WHEEL WELL TRIM! JUST PUT SOME ARMOR-ALL ON IT.. L: DUAL AIR BAGS! NICE HARDTOP..FRAM AND BODY SEEM SOLID, THE HARDTOP OPENS UP TOO, AND THE REAR HATCH SWINGS OUT..NICE NEGITIVES: 1: THE COVER THAT HOLDS THE FUEL TANK ON HAS SOME RUST HOLES ON IT IN A FEW PLACES. NOW I SEE NO RUST ON THE TANK ITSELF SO DONT WORRY ABOUT THAT..THIS JEEP HAS A OUTER COVER THAT PROTECTS IT, AND THAT IS WHAT IS MESSED UP..PERSONALLY I THINK IT WILL BE A EASY FIX, IF ANYONE SHOULD QUESTION IT. 2: THE AIR CONDITIONING IS NOT BLOWING COLD AIR LIKE IT SHOULD.. 3: THERE IS A 3 INCH CRACK ON THE INSIDE OF THE DRIVERS DOOR..LIKE THE METAL JUST PULLED AWAY A FEW INCHS..DIDNT SEEM TO EFFECT ANYTHING. NO BIGGY. AND IT LOOKS LIKE THE DRIVERS SIDE MIRROR HAS SOME BLACK RUBBER REPAIR ON IT. 4: THERE IS A KNOB MISSING ON THE DASH SWITCH THAT CONTROLS THE FAN ..STILL WORKS THOUGH. 5: DRIVER SEAT TORN AND RIPPED, SEE PICS..A FEW DIRTY SPOTS AND NORMAL WEAR ON CARPET, BUT OVERALL I RATE THE INSIDE A GOOD 7+ CONSIDERING THE AGE. 6: NOW THE HOOD, THE HOOD HAS A FADED SPOT ON RIGHT SIDE, AND SEVERAL SMALL SCRATCHS, SEE PICS..AND THERE IS A FEW VERY SMALL SCRATCHS THAT HAVE BEEN TOUCHED UP ON DRIVER DOOR AROUND LOCK HOLE AND ON THE OUTER BRACKETS THAT HOLDS THE REAR TIRE ON...SEE BACK RIGHT, NOT BAD THOUGH...I GOT AN ESITMATE ON RE-PAINTING THE HOOD AND THE SELLER WILL DO IT FOR 275.00 IF THE WINNING BUYER WANTS TO HAVE IT DONE PRIOR TO PICK UP...NEED 7 DAY TURN AROUND TIME..OR JUST RUN HER THE WAY SHE IS, ITS UP TO YOU... 7: SHIFTER RUBBER BOOT, SMALL CRACK IN RUBBER, AND RUBBER IS JUST LOSE, MISSING CIG LIGHTER (4 DOLLARS) IF YOU SMOKE.LOL I GIVE THE CARPET A RATING OF 7 OUT OF 10 A FEW MARKS HERE AND THERE..BUT OVER ALL PRETTY GOOD.
