1998 Jeep Cherokee Limited 4x4

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!!!
