Best Jeep I have ever owned

I love this thing, I hate to let it go. It has such a great way of climbing and getting unstuck from things. It got me to point a to point b.

Most reliable care I’ve owned

Vehicle was definitely worth the purchase. Only ever had one problem with the vehicle which was a bad alternator, which has been replaced with a new one.

An amazing car

The 1997 Jeep Wrangler is my first car that I ever had. I even like it better then my moms 2017 Dodge Ram 1500 it is great for off-roading for towing for having fun and just everyday things.

One of the funnest jeeps I have ever owned.

This jeep was excellent for the city as well as for off roading. There was no where this jeep could not go. Awesome choice for summer fun.

Been a great car for our teen.

This Jeep is in such great condition for its age and mileage. You won't find another Jeep at this price in as good condition. We wish we coiuld keep it but we have too many cars.

Topless cruiser

Perfect car for tooling around off road and having a great time around town. Take your top off and let it ride. Never had a mechanical issue or difficulty. It was as expected.

The most fun and reliable vehicle I?ve owned

The most fun. Entertaining vehicle I?ve ever owned. Will go anywhere. It always starts. I?ve never been stuck off or on road. Not the fastest but it wasn?t built for speed. It gets pretty good gas mileage for a 97. Very comfortable and a all around good daily driver and beat around vehicle. Great gearing in the transmission and makes it fun to drive. Not the best for Highway use or winter use but that?s why it?s a secondary vehicle.

1997 Jeep Wrangler Sport Classic

This Jeep is a great get-around town (or out) little truck, and is ready for someone else to enjoy it as much as I have! You will not find a more well cared for Jeep at this age and price. He's the prefect any day car, excellent in snowy conditions both highway and back road capable, and the prefect summer coupe.No matter your age, background or reason for buying him, he will make your life happier in your time on the road. Be the first one to buy it before he gets away!
