I have for sale an 05 Jeep Cherokee that I bought here on BS a while back. We drove it for 2-3 months and the number 8 cylinder lost compression. No fault of the guy I bought it from... Just has a known issue with these engines. So it needs repair work or a new engine.
I'm not in a spot to work on it or wanting to spend any more $$ on it to replace the motor so I'm selling it AS IS just to get it gone. Keep in mind I'm not a mechanic (Nor do I play one on tv) but I believe one of the rocker arms popped off as it is a common thing with this particular engine. I cannot promise thats all it is or even that it is the correct issue. What is known for sure is that it has no compression on the #8 cylinder.
It was running when I parked it at my house. Very rough obviously but running. Its been sitting up for a couple months now. Again selling it AS IS with undetermined engine repair needed, no warranties.
UPDATE 9/13
It has developed a rain leakage from the sun roof. It’s a drain tube that goes down the right pillar. It’s a common problem and there are YouTube vids on how to fix it. I’ve no desire to fix it. Just want to get it out of the yard.
Details are:
2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited
4.7 V8 Engine
2WD
150k miles
Good condition inside and out
KBB value was around $4200-$4400
Im asking $1200 - Would consider trades like an ATV or side x side. Located in Central/Greenwell Springs
Serious Inquiries Only Tire kickers don't bother.
