Used 1998 Jeep Wrangler for Sale

This is my first and current vehicle. It is almost perfect for the state I live in (MI). In the summer, you can take the top off and go to the beach for a ton of fun. In the winter, its small size and four-wheel drive make it a blast to drive. I do have some concerns about the safety of it, but overall, it is quite impressive for its size and price. There is some rattling at 140-thousand miles as well as a sticky clutch (automatic). A few rust spots have just popped up this year, which is impressive for Michigan. OEM parts are expensive, but there is a plentiful secondhand market and many aftermarket parts producers. When you hit the gas, this thing goes fast! It has an inline six in a tiny body, which makes for a ton of torque. The gas mileage leaves a lot to be desired, but in the winter it is worth it for the traction. The engine will last forever, but the same can't be said about the body and transmission. Despite safety concerns, it has saved me from so many accidents that would have happened in any other car due to its size and maneuverability. It has come back from the ashes of a total wreck many times by being able to dash away a foot at a moment's notice.

I have a 1998 Jeep Wrangler TJ with over 130,000 miles. I like to do anything outdoors, and this is such a great capable vehicle. I have driven on and off road, and she has never let me down. My Jeep has a hardtop that when on has kept everything dry inside. The Jeep is built like a tank. I have not had any motor or transmission issues taking off road. I have driven on sand on the NC coast. I have been down trails in VA and through the mud pulling out friends near my home. The motor has plenty of power and has only needed to be maintained for general routine service. The interior has been a dream to maintain. The dash being exposed to the sun has no cracks, The seats and carpet still look good, even with the occasional rain shower without the top on. The paint is still shiny and new. The clear coat has something to do with that. There is no fading. I have a 6'X12' trailer that I pull with my Jeep, and with it loaded with three motorcycles, it can easily maintain speeds of 65MPH on the highway. I can't say enough good things about the Jeep. If I have any advice for someone looking to get a Jeep of any .year, you should do what I did. Add a suspension lift and some bigger tires. It has not only made the Jeep ride better, but it also looks better, and everyone will give you a thumbs up when you drive by. There isn't a day that goes by that someone doesn't ask me about it or if I wanted to sell it.

I do not like having to replace the soft top so often or how difficult it is to take off and on. I love this vehicle. However, it is extremely durable and has served me very well for the past ten years.
