The previous and only owner took great care of this Jeep. This 1 OWNER Jeep is a very rare find given the 2 door option and the very low original miles. This Jeep was owned by a family in Northern Va and used it to travel to their lake house once a month and for the summers. While not in use it was garaged kept and it shows. This Cherokee will come with a VA state inspection to assure that it is in great condition. This car drives as well as it looks and has absolutely zero issues. If you are in the market for a 97-01 Cherokee, this is one of the finer ones on the market and maybe one of a handful with 50K miles and 1 owner. This is a 97 model vehicle so please expect a small bit of wear. Exterior ConditionThe exterior of this vehicle is in great condition for the years and has been well cared for. The paint looks great for the year and shows only little wear, far less than average for the year. The wheels are in great condition look great, the tires are in good condition with 40% thread life, if you would like the tires replaced we can have 4 tires installed and balanced for $400. I tried to include as many pictures as possible so you can see the true condition of the car. You will be very very impressed with with the condition of exterior. Interior ConditionThe interior of this vehicle is in great condition for the year and mileage. The carpets are in great condition and show only little wear. The seats look great and show no wear. Much of the interior actually looks a couple years old. There are ZERO cigarette burns or any odors that would indicate it was a smokers vehicle. The photos below will show EVERY part of the interior so you can see for yourself how clean it is. This car is in great condition in every way, the motor runs great and is very strong. All driving components work just as they should, the tranny is nice and tight and shifts very smooth, the brakes work great, the steering is very firm and tight, and the complete drive-train has no issues. The AC blows ICE cold. As great condition as this car is, IT IS a pre owned car therefore you will find some minor wear from it being driven, both interior and exterior.
