OTHER
•Please expect wear associated with age, miles, and vehicle history. Jeep is 22 years old. I have done my best to describe the actual condition, but my opinion may be different than others.
•With all used vehicles, you can expect dings, dents, paint chips, faded paint, clear coat peeling, previous paint work, rust, fluid leaks, scratches, stains in carpets, worn spots on seats and/or other wear & defects that are associated with age and mileage that are not visible in the pictures. The content in this listing is subjective and should be used as a guide to determine a vehicles condition prior to purchase. Maintenance lights, check engine lights, ABS lights, air bag lights, and related issues are the responsibility of the new owner.
•This Jeep is sold AS IS NO WARRANTY.
•Mileage will go up after being listed for sale.
•BUYER MUST TAKE DELIVERY WITHIN 10 DAYS OF CLEARED PAYMENT.
•ALL SALES ARE FINAL!

THE BAD
•Drivers seat needs repair on left side. Wear and tear from getting in and out.
•Engine has a small oil pan leak at rear. I have never had to add oil in between oil changes so this is minor.
•RUST - Jeep has had some rust pop up over the years (Again Jeep is 22 years old). A little on the inside bottom of the doors and hinges, mostly the drivers front and also in the drip edge on roof. The worst was in the battery tray and drivers rocker panel. It has been a couple of years since repairing the battery tray and drivers rocker panel. They will probably require further attention in the next year or two.
•Jeep has a rebuilt title due to a impact with a small tree when I was forced off the road in 2008. Centered a small tree with the stock front bumper in the median before I could get stopped causing only $1800.00 in damage. My insurance company decided to total it out because it had more than 100K miles and not because of the damage itself. Nothing from the front of the fenders back was harmed except for the hood. Damage was mostly superficial. Replaced the entire front end along with the hood minus paint. This is also when the tubular front bumper was installed. I have pictures of the damage that was done and will send upon request.
Thank you for looking!
