Johnson City, Tennessee, United States

I bought this wag about two years ago for my 16 year old to learn how to drive in.  We just sold my 18 year olds wag and now the 16 year old wants something newer to drive as well.  This one has taken a lot of work to make it road worthy.  The motor was rebuilt by a local machine shop and has about 1,000 miles on it.  The battery, carburetor, alternator, thermostat, radiator, hoses, belts, fan clutch, tires, distributor (HEI), water pump, shocks, steering gear, fuel pump, starter, and some stuff I am sure I am forgetting are all new within the last two years. I like to play with old jeeps so it made sense to make one mechanically sound and let him learn in a heavy, safe car that could take a hit.  I did the same for my 18 year old with a different wag and it has worked well. 

What does not work - the a/c, cruise control.  The power locks lock well but struggle to unlock. The back window does not work from the key switch but works very well from the dash switch.  The rest of the windows work, front ones well and the rear ones slow.  The body has scratches and dents and rust spots.  I tried to show it all in the pictures but I think the pictures still make it look better than it looks in person.  I guess these old wags are photogenic.  The interior is in really good shape as the pictures show.  The carpet in the back corners is dry rotting though. 

the wag has a high capacity gas tank that holds about 28 to 30 gallons installed by the previous owner.  4WD works and this car did very well in the snow last year.  When driven regularly it starts easily and runs well at operating temperature but I can not seem to get the choke set correctly so it does not run well until it is wormed up.

If you have any questions please ask.  If you have zero feedback please contact me before you bid.  I would like a $500 deposit via paypal within 24 hours of the auction close.  Balance is due when the jeep is picked up.  You have two weeks to pick it up unless we agree ahead of time on something else.  I will accept cash or paypal only.  If, when you come to get the jeep you feel that it has been misrepresented I will refund you $400 of your deposit back.  The jeep is being sold as is where is and shipping is the responsibility of the buyer.  I will be happy to work with your shipper if you choose not to come and get it yourself.

Chrysler banks $507 million in Q2, trims 2013 earnings forecast

Tue, 30 Jul 2013

Chrysler has some good news and some bad news. First, profits were up 16 percent over the second quarter of 2012, bringing the Auburn Hills, Michigan-based manufacturer $507 million on the back of strong demand for trucks and SUVs (a recurring theme this quarter, particularly in the US). Q2 revenue was up as well, from $16.8 billion in 2012 to $18 billion in 2013. The bad news is that the Pentastar's overall earnings forecast for net income in 2013 has been trimmed from $2.2 billion to between $1.7 and $2.2 billion, according to Automotive News.
In addition to the adjusted net income forecast, Chrysler tweaked its operating profit from $3.8 billion to between $3.3 and $3.8 billion. This has gone largely unexplained by Chrysler, perhaps hoping the news of a three-percent increase in its transaction prices for Q2 will allow it to sweep this adjustment under the rug.
The star of the show for Chrysler has been its US sales, which saw a 10-percent jump, both bettering the industry average of eight percent and improving over the same stretch of 2012. As with the increase in transaction prices, Chrysler has the new Ram pickup and Jeep Grand Cherokee to thank. Perhaps most worrying from this report, though, is that every brand in the automaker's stable saw an increase in sales... except for the Chrysler brand itself.

Chrysler nets $1.6B income in Q4, Fiat profit up 5%

Wed, 29 Jan 2014

Chrysler announced its 2013 financial results today and unveiled its new name and decidedly bank-like logo. Amid the announcement, Chrysler posted big gains in income, while Fiat didn't perform to analysts' expectations.
For 2013, Chrysler had revenue of $72.1 billion, up 10 percent from 2012. Net income reached $2.8 billion, a 65-percent increase. It was the company's third straight year of annual profits.
In terms of unit sales, Chrysler sold 2.4 million cars worldwide in 2013, up 9 percent. According to Automotive News, 1.8 million of those vehicles were sold in the US, a 14-percent increase. The sales growth boosted Chrysler's US market share to 11.4 percent, up 0.2 percent.

2015 Jeep Renegade brings the cute

Tue, 04 Mar 2014

The jig is up, the noose is out, we finally found it: the Renegade that Jeep has made, retrieved for a bounty.
Okay, enough of that. Meet the Renegade - Jeep's cute little compact crossover that makes its official debut here at the Geneva Motor Show. We recently brought you a massive Deep Dive into what makes the Renegade tick, and we're now getting our first live look at the tiny Jeep, live from its coming out party in Switzerland.
With the exception of associate editor Jonathon Ramsey, who doesn't know what he's talking about, we at Autoblog are kind of smitten with the little Jeep - it's a really unique package, featuring details that really make it kind of special (notice that jerry can pattern in the taillights, for example). Jeep will offer the Renegade with either a 1.4-liter turbo-four (from the Fiat 500L) or a 2.4-liter naturally aspirated four (from the Dodge Dart), with either a six-speed manual transmission or a nine-speed automatic. There will even be a Trailhawk version with four-wheel drive - properly trail-rated, to boot. The Renegade also features a nifty new My Sky removable roof panel system, giving this little cutie sort of a baby Wrangler feel.
