2016 JEEP COMPASS

Walkaround Description

Here's a 2016 Jeep Compass front-wheel drive that starts right up, shifts smooth through the automatic gears, and stops on a dime with solid brakes that don't pull or grind. Underneath, it just got a fresh front driver-side wheel bearing, CV axle, outer tie rod, and lower ball joint installed, plus it received a fresh string alignment. Out on the road, it easily cruises right up to 60 mph, the cruise control sets and works, and the suspension rides quietly without clunks or pops. On top of that, the air conditioning blows nice and cold, the heater blows hot, the front heated seats power up, the radio plays loud and clear, and three of the power windows work as they should. Cosmetically, it shows normal Midwest wear and tear for a 10-year-old vehicle with 190k miles. The black exterior has scattered light scratches, rock scuffs, and minor clear coat dullness along the lower doors. Inside, you'll spot typical wear on the front seat cloth and bolster edges, along with some dirt in the carpets and door panels that could use a weekend detail. The tires are also sitting on the lower side, running around 30% to 40% tread life remaining. The driver's window regulator is shot, so the glass is currently propped shut with a stick (though the motor still spins). The rear hatch hydraulic lift struts are blown out and won't hold the gate up on their own, so you'll have to prop it open or replace them. Cosmetically, there is noticeable paint bubbling and rust starting along the front edge of the hood, a small dent/bend on the hood edge, and rust starting on the driver-side rear wheel well. While the front suspension parts were replaced, it still pulls slightly left if you let go of the wheel, so it will need a professional shop alignment down the road.
