2000 Jeep Cherokee Sport - Clear Title - Needs TLC - PA Inspection to 12/17

2000 Jeep Cherokee Sport Description

Hi Thanks for looking at my 2000 Jeep Cherokee Sport.

This car is very special to me. But my back is against the wall and I have to sell it. My dream of restoring it to its former glory has died.

So that is why you see it here on eBay (and craigslist) ...up for sale, in need of repair and TLC. It’s sad.

This car was my daily driver and served my family and I well since February 2010. It had 86,000 miles on it when I bought it and it was prefect. Its not perfect any more but its still a nice truck. it does need a little work but it would be wise to invest in this truck. Any money put into it will be recouped if/when its ever sold.

Ill start with the bad:

The jeep was involved in a minor front end collision ..The car was repaired professionally..the only part that wasnt replaced was the radiator support. It wasnt badly damaged so the repair shop tried to straighten it.

About a month ago, while I was at work..someone brushed up against the passenger side in a parking lot and I never found the person. The passenger side has a few minor dents along both doors and the rear quarter. There is also minor rust along the bottom of the doors and most likely both quarter panels. 1 quarter panel is exposed and the rust was cut out because I started to repair it.

In the photos you will notice Plastic molding around the bumpers is missing and 1 trim piece I have all of the parts.

There are too many new and newish parts to list here ...water pump, ac compressor (new not rebuilt) radiator (coolant is clean ZERO rust) plugs, wires, front shocks, brakes, drums, rotors, wheel cylinders, evap lines, crank sensor...and a lot more i have receipts for most of it ...

The interior is very clean and all there except the radio is aftermarket.. Carpets were replaced about two years ago and still look really nice. The seat hardware was powdercoated black around the same time as the new carpet ...but it has developed superficial oxidation since then. Im not sure why.

I change the oil every 2000 - 2500 miles without fail since 2010. I am obsessive about it. The motor doesnt burn a drop of oil. And the trans shifts right. The transfer case is quiet and the 4WD works great. the jeep has NEVER been off road and it has NEVER been used for towing. this car isnt beat up like a lot of jeeps ive seen.. when i bought this car i looked it over thoroughly and there was absolutely zero evidence of a trailer hitch having been installed at any point. it had stock wheels and tires, not an off road vehicle.

The frame is solid. There is some very light superficial rust around the rear of the truck but nothing even close to flaking or holes. I failed to take photos of the frame….If you want photos of the frame please let me know and I’ll send them to you. Or if youre local you can come for a visit. The floor panels look good with a few spots of superficial rust. very solid underneath

The MAIN reason I stopped driving it, is last week I noticed that I used a small amount of coolant over the previous 2 weeks. I looked into it and found out that the head gasket MAY need to be replaced. The oil looks good..its not milky..so it doesnt look like coolant is mixing with the oil yet... But there are no leaks in the coolant system. It has to be going somewhere. So I shut it down. And after some real soul searching, I bought another car and decided to sell the jeep.

Thanks for reading...i hope i covered everything. Please contact me with any questions or if you want to see additional photos.

Also, receipts are available for most of the work done while in my possession.
