Thanks for interest in my 1986 Grand Wagoneer.  This is a solid Jeep- ready to go. Currently inspected in NJ- good until  2014. The Grand Wagoneer runs & shifts well, 4x4 works- has no serious mechanical problems.  Frame is solid- no damage at the fuel tank as is common- has a more recent fuel tank holder (see picture).  What you will be purchasing is a good solid Jeep- get you were you need to go and through snow with ease. Not a perfect show piece but solid and reliable.  Jeep still looks good- has the nice options- wind-deflectors on windows and the rear wind spoiler. Has the usual misc. problems typical with these Jeeps.  Is rusted under the floors in back seat area- could be repaired or just drive as it is. Body has only a small amount of visible rust- really nice looking over-all for a 26 year old Jeep (Can be registered as a classic at this point).  Not all power locks work every time, rear window stick going up but works. Cruise not working.  Nuetral switch quirky- sometimes have to start in nuetral- and simple repair to replace the switch though. Has a leak in the AC hose- I will include the needed hose for the repair.  Interior lights not quite right. I am sure you will find some other minor issues but over-all this is a very usable Jeep at a great price.  Yes I could fix all the little problems but then the price of Jeep would be higher- so you get a great price and you put a little elbow grease into it and it gets even better. All power windows working. This is one I have been driving for about 6 months.  If you check my e-bay store you will see I specialize in Wagoneers and know them well. There are a lot of junky Jeeps out there.  This is not one of them.  You will be able to get in and drive- no big surprises.  I have already rebuilt the carb (I have 30 years experience working for Jeep dealers). Starts up cold and goes. New plugs, some exhaust work done, new rear axle bearing, valve cover gasket, and some other recent upgrades. Jeep had a sunroof which leaked and did not work- so I removed it and installed the correct headliner and replaced the roof panel.  Not  really not noticeable unless you are above the Jeep- (see picture). I aso have many Wagoneer parts  in my e-bay store and can help with your future needs. I will also give buyer a $200 credit toward items in my ebay store if closing auction price is above $2800.  I can also service your Jeep for you if you need future repairs as I have a auto repair business and still service the Grand Wagoneers.  I have done work here locally for  east coast customers of Wagonmaster of Texas- I do know these vehicles well.   I own, drive, and love Grand Wagoneers so we can swap stories!!  Check out the pictures.   Has some agresive tires- great for snow- still have some life (do make a little noise going down road with the heavy tread).   Inside is decent-seats not ripped up- had a new carpet installed in cargo area. Nice plus is it has a modern CD player which works. If you do not want to spend a lot of money and want a dependable Grand Wagoneer that still will get some attrention- this is it.

  You are welcome to test drive before bidding. You can call me at 609 610 7238 to set that up. Vehicle is located in Hamilton (Near Trenton) NJ- 08610. One mile from exit 62 off I295- easy to find.

2014 Jeep Compass/Patriot sing their swan songs with a six-speed automatic

Tue, 15 Jan 2013

Unless the governor, Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne, gives them a reprieve, the 2014 Jeep Compass and Patriot are expected to meet their makers sometime next year. Should they perish, it's a shame that it would happen just as they've shed the continuously variable transmission that was their major bugbear, and just as the Compass has gotten its best looks yet.
Both will roll with a proper six-speed automatic transmission, courtesy of PowerTech. Noise-resistant gears and tuning by Chrysler boffins should alleviate the unappealing sounds that were given off by the older CVT. Unless, that is, you choose to have either model equipped with Freedom Drive II; the serious off-road package, available on both baby Jeeps, will still come with the CVT. The base transmission on the entry-level Sport trim remains the five-speed manual.
Otherwise, it's minor changes for the Compass, set off by the new 18-inch wheel option, trim pieces around the car and a back-up camera. The Patriot gets seat-mounted airbags, but is carryover otherwise. With their expected demises perhaps a year away, not much has changed otherwise. Engine choices comprise the 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 158 horsepower and 141 pound-feet of torque or the 2.4-liter four-cylinder with 172 hp and 165 lb-ft.

SEMA crowns Mustang, FR-S as this year's hottest cars in the building

Wed, 31 Oct 2012

After wrapping up the first day of the 2012 SEMA Show, organizers handed out awards for some of the trendiest vehicles on display. Since the whole point of SEMA is to show off new products available in the aftermarket world for use in cars, trucks and SUVs, each year, the show distinguishes the most popular vehicle in various segments. Not surprisingly, this year's Hottest Car and Hottest Sport Compact are the Ford Mustang and Scion FR-S, respectively, while the Ford F-Series brought home the Hottest Truck and the Jeep Wrangler was named the Hottest 4x4-SUV.
More than 2,000 companies are at this year's show, and the display booths represents a "vote" for each car to determing the trendiest vehicles in each of the four categories. It isn't clear if these awards also take cars brought by OEMs into account, but the Mustang and FR-S were definitely well represented by both OEM and aftermarket show versions.
As usual, the OEMs showed up in force at the this year's SEMA Show exhibiting a variety of cars ranging from production-intent cars like the beastly Ford Mustang Cobra Jet to much flashier rides like Scion's Carbon Stealth FR-S.

Jeep Cherokee won't get diesel until sales of oil-burning Grand Cherokee improve

Tue, 01 Jul 2014

Okay Jeep fans, you want more diesel options? Time to step up and prove it. The only way Jeep will offer a diesel powerplant in the Cherokee, according to brand head Mike Manley, is if sales of the Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel nearly double.
Currently, about eight percent of the Grand Cherokees sold feature the 3.0-liter, EcoDiesel V6. That's simply not enough to warrant the bringing an oil-burning Cherokee to the US market, despite the vehicle's presence in Europe, where it's sold with a 2.8-liter diesel V6.
"Cherokee is slightly different because of its weight and size. When I think about bringing Cherokee diesel here, I would like to see Grand Cherokee diesel get much higher than eight percent," Manley told Automotive News. "It would have to be in mid-double digits."
