Why I am Selling
I bought this car in New York after my fiancee wrecked her CRD Grand Cherokee last summer.  We put a lot of miles on it in the first few months, but I had her Jeep rebuilt and back on the road by September.  We garaged this car through winter, and now we don't seem to drive it that much.  We are having a hard time justifying the car payment, so it's time to sell it.  It needs to belong to someone who is going to drive and enjoy it.

Exterior
I would rate the exterior an 8/10.  It has minor scuffs and scratches that come with cars of this age and mileage.  There are two significant scratches of note (see pictures): the first is on the hood at the front edge just right of the striping and is approximately 2"x5", and the second is on the driver's rear view mirror and is approximately 4" long.  I have not tried to work these out.  The car also has some errant wax on the lower trim.  I intended to have it detailed, only to find my detailer has gone out of business.  It could use a good wax and buff to make it really shine.

Interior
I would rate the interior a 9/10.  The leather has some creases forming on the outside bolsters on the driver's seat (common for a car of this age and mileage), but I cannot find a rip or tear in any seat or section of the carpet.  It has been kept clean the entire time it has been with us.  We're in our 30s, we don't smoke, and we don't have kids.

Modifications
There are two aftermarket parts added by the previous owner: a K&N cold air intake and a Mopar T-handle shifter.  All US SRT-8 and R/T Challengers come with a mini air compressor and a fix-a-flat blend for any flat tires because normal spare tires wouldn't clear the massive brakes.  I went and got a hub adapter, 18" spare tire, a jack, and the lug wrenches needed to give this car a legitimate spare tire.  I still have the mini compressor and I believe I have the Styrofoam insert for the spare tire well, and will gladly include these.  I just didn't want the risk of getting stranded with no spare tire.
 
Maintenance
We have only used the Mobil 1 0w40 recommended on the oil cap.  We have changed the oil when it tells us to.  Given the average intervals, it should be due for an oil change any day.  I will be sure to change the oil before it sells so any buyer doesn't have to worry about a change oil message on their way home.  We also replaced the rear tires with Yokohama Parada Spec-Xs a few months ago.  The front tires have about 20% of their tread left and do stick well.  I would guess they have about 4-5,000 miles left.  Replacements to match the rears can be found at Discount Tire.

Accident History
We have not had any incidents in the year that we have owned it.  A title history check shows there is a minor accident or act of vandalism occurring before we owned it, despite still having a clear title.  I cannot speak definitively as it happened in New York to the previous owner, but I cannot find a bad line on the car.  Additionally, there was a large spot of stained clear near the fuel filler when I bought the car.  It completely buffed out, leading me to believe this was an act of vandalism.  Again, I cannot speak definitively, but I encourage you to inspect the car if you can and verify its condition.

Shipping
I love driving across the US.  If you don't and want it delivered for less, we can work out a deal.  I can also pick you up at the airport (ABQ) or work with any auto transport service you hire to move the car.  I am extremely flexible and will do everything I can to help.

Payment
As mentioned before, we have a loan on the car.  HOWEVER, I have arranged alternate financing to get the title released in the event it sells.  I will need 7-10 days to process my funding and get the title released and in hand.  I do not require anything beyond the deposit before the transaction to get the title in-hand and ready to transfer.  Any payments of the balance must come in the form of cash or a certified check.  I have a bank that is available Monday-Saturday, and we can schedule a time to meet there and complete the transaction.

Inspections, Questions, etc.
If you would like to have the car inspected or you have any questions, please let me know.  I am quick to respond to emails, and I will likely load the eBay app on my phone so I can respond even faster during this auction.  Please do not hesitate to ask a question or make an offer.  The worst I can say is no.  Thanks for looking at this ad!

Disclaimers

I have this vehicle for sale on multiple sites.  It is for sale locally, and I reserve the right to cancel the transaction up to 7 days prior.  If any cancellation occurs, full notice will be given and any monies exchanged will be returned.  This is a used vehicle and comes for sale as-is.  There are no warranties expressed or implied with the car.

Takata air bag recall list

Tue, Dec 9 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration confirmed yesterday that 33.8 million vehicles with Takata airbags are going to be recalled. It's the largest recall in automotive history. The already record-breaking rate of automotive recalls this year shows no signs of slowing down, especially since millions of cars with defective airbags made by global supplier Takata are under ongoing scrutiny. The federal government is warning owners that inflator mechanisms in the air bags can rupture, causing metal fragments to fly out when the bags are deployed. The faulty air bags have already been blamed for multiple deaths. How do you know if your vehicle is safe? The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration released an updated list of vehicles under recall. Sometimes however, the government's website will crash and the list may not be complete. Check your VIN at the NHTSA website to make sure. The list of cars affected by the recall has not been released, but seem to span multiple models over the years for many of the automakers.

These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky

Fri, 24 Aug 2012

It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).
Check out our gallery of discontinued cars above, then scroll down for more information.

This incredibly '90s Dodge Ram video shows roots of the luxury pickup truck

Sat, Oct 3 2020

To paraphrase the Talking Heads, you may find yourself behind the wheel of a Ram 1500 Limited with a 12-inch touchscreen and sumptuous leather, and you may ask yourself, "How did we get here?" Well, some of that credit goes to that loaded Ram's predecessor, the second-generation Dodge Ram. As you'll see in this fascinating promotional video for the truck uploaded by YouTube Channel TheClassicSports, it seems to highlight all the things that make up the modern pickup truck, albeit in a slightly more modest form. Right off the bat, the video starts talking about how the new Ram isn't your traditional pickup. It has features like anti-lock brakes, a spacious, comfortable cabin and standard driver-side airbag. Later, it notes the extensive sound insulation, as well as the cupholders and a giant center console to set up your mobile office, with space for a cell phone and laptop.  But it's not just a comfortable truck. It's a powerful, practical and intimidating one. This Ram is frequently credited as the truck that changed pickup design, moving from simple rectangular boxes to ones with style, particularly semi-truck style. In the video, the host notes that regardless of what people think, "They all call it 'big'." And of course, there's the all-important utility aspect. Highlights include various interior storage bins, slots in the bed to create divided sections, and the critical towing and payload capacities; best-in-class of course. Don't forget the wide array of engines, too, from the base V6 to the unique at the time gas V10 engine. This isn't to say that competitors from Chevy and Ford weren't changing to this more stylish, more well-appointed truck philosophy, either. The mid-'90s Silverado was quite modern, too, with its sleek, if still boxy shape. And the late-'90s F-150 ushered in a sleek, curvy design that has yet to return to the full-size market. But the second-generation Ram really encompasses everything about how the truck market was about to change for the next few decades. Related Video:
