Vehicle Description
This 1998 Jeep Cherokee Limited 4x4 is a highly stock and loaded
example of the icon that launched the modern SUV movement. So you
get the look of a classic, but with plenty of comfort and
convenience to be everyday practical.
The XJ Cherokee was a true revolution that combined the right size
and capabilities like no other vehicle before. So it's great to
find such a correct-style example. Not only is the paint believed
to be highly original, but it has the kind of completeness and
gloss that shows good care. In fact, the history on this one shows
it has only had two previous owners, and it comes from desirable
places like Oregon and Arizona. Part of why this would also see the
right respect is because the Cherokee helped elevate the SUV's
status. And because this was more than a utilitarian machine, there
were premium trim levels, including this Limited. So it has an
upper-class look with the grille, bumpers, body cladding, and
fender flares all coordinated in the distinct Chili Pepper Red.
Pinstripes, tinted glass, and premium 15-inch alloys all add to
this Limited's stature. But we also love these for their proper
utility. Good ground clearance, a luggage rack, and a proper
trailer hitch remind you that this upscale SUV is still a true
Jeep.
The loaded interior is clean, complete, and quite inviting. There
are two rows of leather seating with plenty of room for everyone's
gear. But the front always takes priority with high-back bucket
seats, a center console in-between, and a tilt steering column to
give you a good view of the full gauges The driver's seat even
power adjusts. And this has the best features like power windows,
cup holders, electric rear defogger, cruise control, and
cold-blowing air conditioning. The radio has even been upgraded to
an AM/FM/CD/XM unit with USB and Bluetooth. And because this is
from the last few years of this legendary generation, you have
safety features that not all the other XJs got, like dual airbags
and ABS. There are a few details you may want to address like the
front upholstery, just because not everything can last over a
quarter-century. But overall, you will be impressed with the way
the stock environment turns back the clock...and does it with
style.
Under the hood is a correct 4.0-liter motor. This inline-six was
derived from the tough-as-nails AMC line of motors, and so you get
durability and economy. Factory fuel injection only enhances this
reputation. The 4x4 system is one of the best around that has a
full-time setting or you can also put the transfer case in low
range when doing real off-road work.
It's another advantage of a later XJ, and it really gives it the
right balance of a go-anywhere Jeep that also has an everyday kind
of easy feeling. That's why you also have power steering, power
brakes, front discs, and a four-speed automatic transmission that
features highway-friendly overdrive.
The sale comes complete with the original window sticker and the
owner's manual packet. The way these XJs send our nostalgia into
overdrive is also the reason why it's so hard to find a
well-preserved and well-priced example like this. Call today!!!
