NO RESERVE............NO RESERVEI’m selling the Jeep I bought a couple years back (a car I bought specifically for my son as a learning vehicle). When my son got his drivers’ license I wanted to put him in a tank. Something safe but also something I would have to worry about getting damaged. This 1996 Jeep Country fit the bill perfectly. As you see in the photos it came already “Pre-dented” in the front and rear, so a few more scrapes and scratches would hardly be noticeable. I have put significant money into it trying to make it safe and reliable. I will list all the good points AND bad below. My son is now gone to college and it is starting to sit around in the driveway. I would like to give it a new home and get it out of my way. It would make an excellent first car (as I have used it) for anyone. It RUNS and drives well. Starts every time however there are a couple nagging issues. 1) Exhaust leak. You can hear it when the car is started, but after it warms up, it goes away. Not affecting performance. 2) Awful (yet intermittent) vibration at highway speed after you hit a significant bump. I have replaced just about every component in the front end and the shocks all around but didn’t seem to fix the problem. (As a result I only allow my son to drive it locally and below highway speeds). The GOOD: Everything works – I think. I can’t check the AC now, but it was working. Replaced: Shocks, Tie Rod, Tie Rod Ends, Adjustment Sleeves and Dampner. Power Steering Service Brake Service Front – Pads and Rotor Battery 4 Wheel drive works Power windows and locks Radio (w CD) Newer tires The Bad: Dents front and rear (in pictures) Fabric on the Head liners is loose (holding with pins) Crack in front windshield (been there for years) Back hatch broken shocks (opens and closes – but won’t stand open on it’s own) Auto Passenger Door lock works (but sticks sometimes – have to reach over to unlock it) I’m offering this at No Reserve – but reserve the right to end it early because I will also attempt to sale it locally. You will need to arrange you own pick up. I would not drive it on the open road because I still don’t know the cause of the intermittent vibration. If you are local then driving it will not be a problem. It will go all day long on surface streets and below highway speed. You are more than welcome to see it and test drive it.
