1989 Jeep Cherokee

You are bidding on a pristine restored 1989 Cherokee XJ.

This vehicle has 85 thousand original miles and I am the original owner. I bought it to use in the winter but liked it so much that I put it away for the winter in a heated garage and used my old Buick. This vehicle has only been driven in the summer time. No off road. no mudding. no beaches. Vehicle runs smooth and strong with excellent idle.
