1998 Jeep Wrangler Sport Utility 2-Door 4.0L

1998 Jeep Wrangler Sport Utility 2-Door Description

The cars you see on our eBay auctions are what we would call “raw trade-ins” from the new car dealers and directly from the consumer. These are cars that have not been cleaned, have not been run through shops, and have not been repaired in preparation for a sale. Buying a car in this Wholesale Capacity allows you to buy the car for less money and me to do less work. There will be assumed costs on minor defects and routine-maintenance items that come with being used. If you are receptive to buying a car in this fashion, the savings are yours. Because we sell our cars all over the world and in every state, inspections are not guaranteed in any state as each state differs in their requirements so it is virtually impossible for us to guarantee inspection. Options such as power windows, cruise control, air conditioning etc. are not guaranteed however we will do our best to mention any items that are not working.

What about any questions I may have?

If you have any questions about one of our vehicles or our terms & conditions please email or call us. Please make sure the email address you have on file with eBay is current. If it is not current when we reply it will bounce back and you will not get a response of course. We answer ALL emails in a very timely manner. If you do not hear from us it is not because we did not answer you, it is an email issue. In that case just call us at (215)805-3100

Can I see or inspect the vehicle in person?

Prospective bidders are always welcome to come, view, or arrange on site inspections of the vehicle they are interested in BEFORE the close of the auction. We try to be descriptive about the vehicle as possible but issues may be missed, all vehicles are sold as-is please perform your due diligence, check your vehicle before you purchase, if you are unable to inspect in person eBay strongly recommends a third party inspection. Once you have placed a bid we will consider that you have already inspected the vehicle to your satisfaction. Once the auction has ended the vehicle is now considered sold, and we do not permit any post sales inspections at that point. Once vehicle is paid for we assume buyer has inspected the vehicle, and buyer assumes all responsibility for all defects known and unknown. We are not responsible for your vehicle to pass inspections in your home state as it varies from state to state, this also includes Pennsylvania residents as we are not an inspection station. Vehicles may have higher miles than what is shown as some will be driven for test drives, demos, transported for pick up or may be owned by the current owner and is their daily vehicle.

Can you explain your as-is / warranty policy?

All vehicles are being sold as-is, where is with no warranty, expressed or implied. The seller shall not be responsible for correctness of description, authenticity, genuineness, or defects herein, and makes no warranty in connection therewith. Any and all descriptions or representations are for identification purposes only and are not to be construed as a warranty of any type. Your bid is binding under applicable statute. The buyer assumes all responsibility for all defects known and unknown. The seller assumes no responsibility for any repairs, defects or damages pre-existing or otherwise regardless of any oral or written statements about the vehicle. The buyer has no right of rescission and is not entitled to any compensation for known or unknown, or disclosed, or undisclosed damage or repairs. . All information and comments contained within the vehicle listings are deemed reliable, but are not guaranteed. We try very hard to make sure they are as accurate as possible, but as always descriptions are always subject to interpretation, and are for informative purposes. If an option or feature is not listed in the ad or you do not see it in the pictures, then the vehicle most likely does not have that option or feature. Pictures are a part of the descriptions as well. We do not want you to be unhappy with your purchase but at the same time you have to understand what "AS-IS" means. It means sold without warranty - no exceptions. Buyer will pay all costs for any repairs. Most cars are sold at wholesale prices, many way below book prices. Therefore there is minimum profit at best and as such we can not afford to warranty the vehicle as if you had purchased it off a retail lot at full list price. We recommend that all buyers purchase the optional extended warranty (available on most, but not all cars). This will help defray the cost of mechanical repairs in the future. Remember many of these cars are near a decade old or many have in excess of 100,000 miles so they may be new to you but that doesn’t change the fact that they are used cars and repairs can be needed at any time regardless of how short a time period you have owned the car. While we try to service any known defects it is still possible for used vehicles to need service or repairs the first days or weeks of ownership. We are not responsible for your vehicle to pass inspections in your home state as it varies from state to state. We recommend buyer have a third party inspection if buyer is unable to inspect vehicle in person. Here is a list of some major defects that may occur in used motor vehicles. Frame & Body; Frame-cracks, corrective welds, or rusted through, Dog tracks—bent or twisted frame. Engine; Oil leakage, excluding normal seepage, Cracked block or head, Belts missing or inoperable, Knocks or misses related to camshaft lifters and, push rods, Abnormal exhaust discharge. Transmission & Drive Shaft; Improper fluid level or leakage, excluding normal seepage, Cracked or damaged case which is visible, Abnormal noise or vibration caused by faulty, transmission or drive shaft, Improper shifting or functioning in any gear, Manual clutch slips or chatters.

Tires= Tread depth less than 2/32 inch, Sizes mismatched, Visible damage. Wheels= Visible cracks, damage or repairs, Mounting bolts loose or missing. Exhaust System= Leakage. All cars are used machines and used machines need general repairs on a regular basis many times without prior warning. This is especially true for name brand highline & exotic vehicles that have more elaborate features and systems. Also repairs are more common on say a 10 year old model car as opposed to a 2 or 3 year old model car since they cost significantly less than a newer car. Obviously the older the car the more possible this is of happening. So this is why we highly recommend again that you purchase this warranty for your own peace of mind and general satisfaction. What you have just read is basically common sense, but there are some people who don’t understand what as is means so this is why we have spelled it out in plain English.
