Here's the deal, kids:
This is a Jeep Cherokee. This is not a luxury SUV, or a maintenance-free disposable import. It has solid front axles, wind noise, and character.
It's a Jeep. It rides like a Jeep. It drives like a Jeep. All of these are GOOD things.
It is not new, it is not pristine, it is used. This will be apparent in the pictures.


If you do not own a toolbox, have never changed your own oil, and are scared of firearms: THIS VEHICLE IS NOT FOR YOU.
If you have been posting on facebook all about how excited you are for pumpkin latte season: THIS VEHICLE IS NOT FOR YOU.
If you get offended easy and often, whine to your co-workers, and bitch a lot: THIS VEHICLE IS NOT FOR YOU.
If you feel you are owed anything in the world & have a bullshit job where you fail to produce: THIS VEHICLE IS NOT FOR YOU.
If you own a bieber album, white oakleys, affliction t-shirts, or those candy-assed stitched-pocket jeans: THIS VEHICLE IS NOT FOR YOU.
If you consider the 2nd Amendment an anachronistic relic and have never owned a firearm: THIS VEHICLE IS NOT FOR YOU.

If, however, you have BALLS OF STEEL and consider adverse weather an excuse to do stupid shit: THIS IS YOUR JEEP.
Do you laugh at danger, and tempt fate?
Have you ever uttered the words, "Hold my beer and watch this ..."?
While bored at work do you pick targets at random and think, "I could hit that from here with the .22 ..."?
Have any of your friends quit hanging out because you were too much fun?
Do you have the number of a friend with cash memorized for bail?
When you pass an abandoned flatbed farm truck along a fenceline do you consider taking on another project?
Is your ol' lady really sick of the random piles of parts, greasy footprints, and empty beer bottles in the garage?
-could you not care less?
Do you have Jalopnik saved on your laptop AND smartphone?
Do you own a service manual for every vehicle you ever owned?
Do you still miss your first ride?
Can you carry on a two hour conversation discussing tools, scars, and hi-lift jacks?
Remember when tool companies had the balls to put half-naked beauty queens on their calendars?
Do you consider the Prius an abominable affront to the Gods of displacement, torque, and All Mighty Internal Combustion?


If you answered in the affirmative to the preceding: THIS IS YOUR JEEP.

1. That's a lot of big talk over a straight-6 rig with an automatic!

And power mirrors!

2. If you have had a recent meth sale

and want to flush $1750 of the packet money down the toilet for a really bad vehicle with 220K miles this is the jeep for you.

If you have a single wide and need a large rusting lawn ornament to let your neighbors know you're "one of us", this is the Jeep for you.

3. Oh, my. This reminds me of an old Jeep Wagoneer I had many years ago, although

it wasn't quite as pretty as this Jeep. We drove the hell out of that thing one summer and had the best time doing it. It was so beat up that another dent, ding or scratch didn't make a difference, but it would get you there and get you back (most of the time). It was a great camping vehicle.

4. They could have made the listing a lot shorter by just writing ...

... "You need to be stupid and reckless to buy this vehicle." Why do people think those are positive attributes?

[Bucky]

5. Someone was having fun writing that

Makes me want to drive it too.

[zonkers]

6. I have the same car!

!!!

7. The Jury voted 2-4 to LEAVE IT

The alerter thought it was your ad.

[ehrnst]

9. Really? This ad? (nt)

[hobbit709]

11. some people are reading comprehension challenged.

Along with no sense of humor and sarchasm challenged.

[pintobean]

12. I think the OP should post more pics.

There may be body damage on the passenger side.

8. My car's thirteen years older, has much more character than that, and only cost $800.

Clearly I own a toolbox, and no, it's not for sale.

[Barack_America]

10. Considering the owner is selling it, I can only presume...

He or she loves pumpkin lattes, hates guns and whines a lot. This clearly was not the car for them.

[In_The_Wind]

13. I could handle it.

[OriginalGeek]

14. Why can't I have pumpkin latte AND a Jeep?

Actually, I've never had a latte of any kind but I like pumpkin beer.


And I'll never own another Chrysler product as long as I live. Except maybe a 71 Cuda.
