This wagon was original purchased by a doctor that drove it daily and was parked in his garage nightly. The second owner was his friend which owned a local shop. He used it to pull his boat other wise it was parked in his storage with the boat in his shop. This Wagon has been taken care of its whole life. It is my daily driver and I park it in the garage every night. It even sits in the garage over my new truck. I hate to sell it but its time to part ways. 

Within two years, less than 10,000 miles:
Rebuilt trans, 3" Lift, New tires, oil pump, water pump, thermostat, radiator and power steering pump.

About a year ago:
The rear window stopped working. The switch in the tailgate stopped working, It was replaced with Military grade switch designed for this application.

Within 2 months:
New rebuilt OEM carb replacement, new CA cat, air filter, coil, cap, rotor, wires and plugs.

Even with the care that was taken with this vehicle it does have some flaws. The wood paneling has a couple small nicks on the driver door and on the rear passenger door. They are only visible when looking for them. The paint is in good shape but does have flaws. The hood had some pearl essence spilled on it as well as the rear bumper, see pics. The interior over all is in great shape. The dash is not cracked and looks good. The leather is in great shape but does show some wear on the driver seat and the driver rear seat, no rips or tears. The headliner is in great shape but does have a 6" snag in the rear. The trans was rebuilt including a new torque converter. The transfer case was pulled and taken apart at the same time. The chain does have very minor play but was recommended to not change anything. When its put into reverse it does smack a little because of the transfer case but does not affect driveability and the 4wd does work. The engine oil pan gasket does have a minor leak. I use synthetic oil and only change it every 3k miles. I never need to add oil between changes. CA buyers make note it will not currently pass an emissions test. Out of state sale preferred for this reason. it is barely not passing due to the unadjustable carb is running slightly rich for california standards. This is a 26 year old vehicle that was well cared for but it has been a daily driver for most of its life, its not perfect. 

Title in hand and ready to be signed off.
$500 due within 48 hours of the winning bid (non refundable) and the remaining balance to be paid in full upon pick up. 
Shipping is buyers responsibility. I will be willing to work with the buyer as much as possible for pick up.
If you have questions please email me and I will respond same day..

FCA's Pentastar V6 gets more power, efficiency for 2016

Wed, Sep 2 2015

Already a vital member of FCA's powertrain lineup, the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 is receiving major efficiency improvements for 2016. Thanks to a massive amount of new tech attached to the mill, fuel economy is up six percent, and torque below 3,000 rpm jumps nearly 15 percent. The updates arrive first in the 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee, but they should proliferate to other models eventually. At least in the Grand Cherokee, the tweaks push power up five horsepower to 295 ponies. FCA's engineers went through the Pentastar from top to bottom to eke out as much efficiency as possible. For example, there's now a two-speed variable-valve lift system that can run in low- or high-lift modes. This upgrade is responsible for 2.7-percent better economy, the company claims. A new intake manifold with longer runners and updated variable-valve times also helps boost the torque output. Further improvements come from pushing the compression ratio to 11.3:1, from 10.2:1 before. Perhaps most impressive is that despite all of the innovations, the latest Pentastar actually weighs four pounds less than the current version. Beyond the Pentastar improvements, all of the FCA US gasoline engines, except for the Viper's 8.4-liter V10, will be E15-compatible for 2016. The company says that it wants to be ready for the higher ethanol content fuel's greater use in the near future.

Massachusetts man charged $48,000 for a tow [w/video]

Wed, Oct 28 2015

Tow truck operators are right up there with landlords and IRS auditors on the list of professionals you don't want to deal with. A man in Massachusetts has all the more reason to avoid a tow after he was hit with a $48,000 bill, Fox 25 reports. Joel Ramer and his girlfriend were off-roading in Walpole, MA last week when they wandered were they shouldn't have. They landed in a mud pit on private property. Ramer said it took Assured Collision towing company 12 hours to free his vehicle from the muck. But when he got the bill for the tow, he thought the accounting department must have been off by a decimal. "When I went to pick up the vehicle from Assured Collision, he'd informed me there was some damage done to the vehicle, but didn't get into details. He also informed me the bill was $48,000," Ramer told Fox. "I thought they made a mistake." The phrase 'some damage' was putting it lightly. Ramer says Assured Collision totaled his Jeep. "Frame is broken, leaf spring is broken, drive shaft is broken," Ramer said. The itemized bill showed Ramer exactly what he was paying for. Assured Collision charged him $16,000 for an on-scene supervisor. That's $1,250 an hour. The Statewide Towing Association told Fox 25 that the actual industry standard is $175-$325 an hour. The company also claimed that power lines put them at risk, calling it a "hazmat situation." That allowed them to tack on another $5,000 fee for dangerous condition liability insurance. Finally, there was an extra $10,000 fee for an off-road recovery incident response unit. Insurance won't help with the cost of the tow, so Ramer's broke Jeep is in Assured Collision's hands. On top of the enormous bill and busted Jeep, Ramer was arrested and cited for trespassing on land owned by a utility company and disturbing the peace.

Chrysler defies NHTSA, says it won't recall 2.7M Jeep Grand Cherokee, Liberty models

Wed, 05 Jun 2013

Facing a possible recall totaling around 2.7 million of its most popular SUVs, Chrysler remains insistent that the 1993-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 2002-2007 Jeep Liberty are safe vehicles. This comes on the heels of a recall request from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for these two models due to fuel tanks mounted behind the rear axle, which could possibly be ruptured during severe rear-end collisions, leading to an increased risk of fire. In response to the allegations, Chrysler says that it does not agree with NHTSA nor does it plan on recalling either vehicle.
Chrysler said both SUVs "met and exceeded" the requirements for fuel-system integrity, and cooperated fully with NHTSA since the investigation was opened in 2010. While 15 deaths and 46 injuries have been reported from fires caused by rear-end collisions on these models, Chrysler is claiming that the vast majority of incidents cited by NHTSA were "high-energy crashes," including one where a stopped Grand Cherokee was rear-ended by a tractor trailer going 65 miles per hour.
The automaker wraps up by saying "NHTSA seems to be holding Chrysler Group to a new standard for fuel tank integrity that does not exist now and did not exist when the Jeep vehicles were manufactured." Scroll down for Chrysler's official response to NHTSA, but we're pretty sure this isn't the last we've heard on this issue.
