I bought this wag in 2009 for my oldest boy to learn how to drive in.  I went through it mechanically replacing battery, carburetor, alternator, thermostat, radiator, hoses, belts, fan clutch, tires, distributor (HEI) and headliner.  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.  My deal was you drive the old wag for at least a year and if you have no tickets or accidents we can talk about getting something else.  My son liked the wag so much that he drove it for three years and when he decided he did want to trade up he took my Cherokee Chief (the boy has good taste). In the four years that we have owned it we have put 4,000 miles on it and it has been very dependable.

What does not work - the a/c, cruise control, intermittent wiper.  The back window does not work from the dash switch and barely works from the key switch (you have to help it along with your hand).  The rest of the windows work, front ones well and the rear ones slow.  The paint is in bad shape, stained and blochy, the pictures make the paint look better than it is.  The pictures do a good job of showing the rust and the condition of the interior. 

The jeep has been sitting more often than not since my son has been driving the Chief.  I have six other cars to play with so I am letting this one go.  I drove it today and noticed the rear brakes making a little bit of a scraping sound when the brakes are applied so it will probably need rear brake shoes.  Other than that it is mechanically sound and runs very well.  4WD works and it is the best car for snow I have ever had.

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 week to pick it up unless we agree ahead of time on something else.  I will accept cash or paypal only.  If paying the entire balance via paypal please add 2% to help cover the paypal fee.  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 adding 200 jobs at Ohio Jeep Wrangler plant

Fri, 15 Mar 2013

Chrysler is betting that the Jeep Wrangler will continue its strong sales surge as it continues to push the legendary brand out across the globe. The Auburn Hills automaker is reportedly adding 200 workers at the Toledo, Ohio plant that builds the Wrangler. What's more, those new hires will be at their posts quickly - they'll be on the job by April 1. Of those 200 workers, 130 employees will be there to relieve those who need breaks.
Why do they need so many relief workers? The Toledo Jeep Complex is currently working at a torrid pace with two ten-hour shifts. A third shift has been ruled out for the moment because of a production botttleneck - the plant's paint shop is already maxed out. According to Reuters, Wrangler production in 2012 cleared 200,000 units, and US sales were up by 16 percent.
Another part of the Toledo plant is presently down as Chrysler retools the line to build Jeep's divisively styled Liberty replacement, the Cherokee (seen in our gallery below). Production for the new model is scheduled to begin toward the end of May.

Chrysler delays 2014 Jeep Cherokee media launch

Tue, 30 Jul 2013

Chrysler is making the unusual move of delaying the first media drives of the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, which were slated to start next week in Seattle. And while something like this is a rare occurrence, and one that most of the Autoblog staff can't recall happening this publicly or so close to the event itself, it won't effect the actual on-sale date of the new Cherokee, which is set to hit showrooms in September.
"Over the last couple of weeks during final quality and durability testing, we have discovered the opportunity to further improve powertrain calibration," Chrysler told Automotive News. This marks the second notable delay in the Cherokee's short life, after production was delayed for roughly a month earlier this summer.
Still, we'd rather Chrysler make sure the Cherokee is ready for primetime before flying media in from around the country. It shows a willingness to get things right the first time, rather than offering media drives and then tweaking the car after the fact.

Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014

Thu, 27 Feb 2014

Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.
