This Jeep XJ Cherokee got away, but there are more like it here.

This 1998 Jeep Cherokee was used as a security vehicle by a hospital in Laurel, Maryland from new until the selling dealer’s purchase in May 2019, and it now shows less than 29k miles. This Cherokee is an SE model finished in Stone White over a Mist Gray cloth interior and powered by a 4.0-liter straight-six. Factory options include a four-speed automatic transmission, a two-speed transfer case, and a Trac-Lok differential as well as power mirrors, a roof rack, a rear defroster, and a rear wiper. Service in the past few months included replacing hoses, fluid changes, new brake pads and rotors, and an air-conditioning service. This XJ is now offered in Winter Park, Florida with its window sticker, recent service records, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Maryland title.

The body is finished in Stone White (W1) and features black plastic fender flares, bumper covers, and other trim. The seller notes paintwork on the roof and on the front doors to remove graphics from the hospital.

The 4.0-liter Power Tech straight-six was rated at 190 horsepower when new. Power is sent to the rear or all four wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission, a two-speed transfer case, and a Dana 35 rear axle with 3.55:1 gears. Maintenance since the seller’s acquisition is said to have included replacing hoses, belts, fluids, and ignition wiring as well as servicing the air conditioning.
