Default 98 Jeep Cherokee LTD. Feedback/help please

Hey Guys,

Unfortunately I have to sell my Jeep and was planning to list it on ebay. Can you please provide me with feedback and opinions and let me know if you agree the price is fair.

1998 Cherokee Limited with 123k miles. Runs great.
auto
Beige leather
New Pro Comp Rims (1500 miles)
New Pro Comp A/T tires (1500 miles)
2" Budget Boost lift (1500 miles)
Complete brake system. Pads, rotors, brake lines, cylinder, springs, etc...
4 monroe sensatrac shocks (2500 miles)
new u joints
new steering stabilizer
new trac bar
just had valve cover, oil housing unit and oil change, tranny flush, filter
New Exhaust: new walker hi-flow car, flowmaster 50 muffler, 2.5" piping
new o2 sensors
Just had a complete Tune up
No check engine light or any warning lights. All fluids are good.

I am the 3rd owner. 2 previous owners were relatives. the jeep has always been well maintained. I have all the service records since i owned it. All work listed above was done by jeep dealer or Goodyear. Carolina Truggers did the lift, rims, tires.

I am planning to list it for $4,500 and will ship anywhere in the USA. Please let me know what you guys think and if price is fair. There is no rust except for a spot on a rocker and the rear bumper was backed into a pole (liftgate still opens). Jeep is very clean inside and out.












Thanks for your help.

Why don't you just post it on craigslist or autotrader so you don't have to **** with shipping?

i recently sold my Titan on craigslist. had 100s of calls and most were no shows or a waste. I never sold on ebay but it seems less of a headache (i could be wrong)

That rust is pretty scary for someone to buy sight unseen... what are you thinking for a minimum?

It's only limited to that spot on the rocker. I have a lot of pics underneath and their is no rust anywhere else. I also scanned all the service records and will list that on eBay auction (hopefully makes bidders happy)

I would accept $4000 as rockbottom

I think you should have done this as a for sale ad if you already knew what you wanted.

I see no real point to this thread.

I do appreciate your post and will go ahead and create a new thread in the for sale section and hopefully someone makes an offer.

i was just hoping to get some enthusiasts feedback that know these jeeps to share some insight. I didnt want to list it for sale at this price if the bumper and rust spot spooked people (i like to sleep at night). Or if others had some ideas on what to post... However i did spend quite a bit of time last night looking on craigslist and autotrader and i think the price is spot on for a quick sale considering all the other factors...

I dunno. Just looks an awful lot like a FS ad, just with a different title, no firm price, and a question mark.

But I'm not saying this to start an argument.

Thanks. I honestly dot think I'll do any body work at this time.

With baby # 2 coming I don't really have the time to take it on. Plus With my wife being laid off a few weeks ago i decided to just sell some toys....
