**2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon **automatic **like-new **9k Miles on 2040-cars

Year:2013 Mileage:9000
Location:

Up for sale is a 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon.  This Jeep has the colored hardtop and fender flares (I've replaced the flares with black but the red ones will go with it) and is red with black interior.  The seats are cloth and this Jeep is loaded with power windows, locks, and the stereo has cd/mp3/dvd/hdd/sirius and navigation.  I have added safari straps (for cargo or to keep pets in the back), a shorty antenna, tail light covers, a max towing package, and the black fender flares.  Everything else on the Jeep is stock.  Contrary to what the model overview at the top says this Jeep actually has 285 horsepower (huge difference from the 2011 and later models).  This Jeep has barely been driven (less than 9,000 miles) and still smells new.  I get looks and compliments all the time. 

I am only selling my Jeep because I am purchasing a truck (didn't think I'd miss having one).  I am not looking to make a huge profit off of this sale but I do need to get what I owe on it (hence the high starting price).  I am asking less than what the Blue Book or NADA value is at.

Please text or call with any questions 806-382 5700.

This Jeep is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction if it sells locally.  Buyer is responsible for shipping but I will drop it off or help in any way that I can.

NHTSA closes probes on Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey

Wed, 09 Jan 2013

The Detroit News reports the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially closed its investigations into 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2004-2005 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey models. The separate probes found no issues that pose safety concerns. NHTSA began investigating certain Grand Cherokee SUVs over complaints that power steering hoses could detach during operation, thereby increasing the risk of a vehicle fire. Of the 24 reports of failure, none alleged smoke or fire in the engine bay, and Chrysler has since modified the power steering cooler assembly to reduce the likelihood of the failure.
Meanwhile, certain Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey vehicles garnered a government probe after receiving complaints that the models were equipped with faulty scissor jacks. The agency had received six reports of the jacks failing or causing injuries, including one incident that resulted in a fatality. But NHTSA says the jack failure rate is similar to those found in other vehicles. In those six cases, the government agency found the jacks were being used for something other than changing a tire, and investigators could not determine whether the emergency brake was set or the rear tires were properly chocked.

Chrysler investing $20M in Toledo plant to support 9-speed auto production

Sun, 28 Apr 2013

In 2011, Chrysler announced a $72-million investment in its Toledo Machining Plant to modernize production of the eight- and nine-speed torque-converters for automatic transmissions made there. That upgrade work won't be finished until Q3 of this year, but Chrysler has already announced a further $19.6-million investment to increase production capacity for the nine-speeders.
The extra units will be necessary because the nine-speed transmission they'll be mated to is going into three popular models: it will debut on the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, then go into the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Dart. The company predicted that this year alone it would sell 200,000 units equipped with the nine-speed tranny, and it is spending some $374 million in addition to the investment in Toledo to upgrade production capacity for it.
The work attached to this new investment won't begin until Q3 of 2014, and it will be finished by the end of that year. There's a press release below with all the details.

Maker Insists Feds Overstate Risk Of Fires With Grand Cherokee, Liberty Models
It's not often that recall stories make it above the fold, in that old newspaper parlance, but when one shows up as the lead story on the network evening news programs, you know it's something big.
And so it is with Chrysler snubbing its nose at a request by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to recall 2.7 million Jeeps the feds insist are at risk of potentially catastrophic fuel tank fires in a rear-end collision.
