**1982 Jeep Scrambler 85,000 Original Miles, Fresh restoration**
Up for auction is a 1982 Jeep Scrambler with Renegade Package. This beautiful Jeep is a one owner, with 85,000 original miles. It has spent its entire life in the hot dry climate of the beautiful Southwest. This Jeep comes out of the stable of Classic 4x4 Co. of Las Cruces, New Mexico, who specializes in these highly collectable Jeeps. This is a fresh restoration that was just completed. This long and tedious process began with the entire body being stripped all the way down to bare metal. There lie a completely rust free body, that can only be found in this part of the country. It was then primed with several coats of 2K primer, then sanded and blocked to perfection. It was then sprayed with several coats of DuPont base coat back to the original color. Then on top, came several coats of DuPont Chroma Clear, which has been done to perfection with a mirror finish, with lots of depth. Next came the original factory decal kit, which completely gives it that factory look. The drive train starts with the original factory engine, that has been completely rebuilt. The transmission is the factory 4 speed and goes through all the gears with greatest of ease. The suspension has been equipped with a very modest 1.5 inch Rough Country lift. All five wheels are original and have been sand blasted and painted back to eggshell white. It has five brand new 31x10.50x15 Mud Terrain tires. The interior is the Renegade Package, which includes carpet, factory tachometer, clock, power steering and power brakes. I am sure I left several things out but there have been thousands of dollars spent on this Jeep making what it is today. This Jeep needs nothing but a new owner. This is not a hacked up Jeep with a new paint job, instead, this is a Jeep that has been professionally done with nothing overlooked. With that being said, please bid with confidence as this is truly a one of a kind Jeep that is highly collectible and will only go up in value. My terms and conditions are as follows: there will be a $1000 deposit due with 24 hours of auction end and the remaining balance due within 3 days, bank to bank wire transfer only. These terms and conditions are non negotiable, so please understand them before bidding. I have a perfect feedback history and expect the same of the buyer. I will answer any and all questions in a timely manner and will also make myself available to the shipping company of your choice, at buyer's expense. This vehicle is being sold as is with no warranty or guarantee of any kind. Thank you for looking and Happy Bidding!!!

Consumer Reports digs Mazda3, disses Jeep Cherokee
Tue, 11 Feb 2014Consumer Reports has just rendered its verdict on two of the more important cars to launch this year - the Mazda3 and the Jeep Cherokee. Considering the value a "Recommended" rating carries with the public and the viciously competitive markets these two cars compete in, Consumer Reports' view could have some impact on their initial success.
For Mazda, that's a good thing. CR spoke quite highly of the Zoom-Zoom brand's compact sedan and hatch, testing both models, and citing the excellent fuel economy and snickety-snack manual shifter as high points. Downsides to the 3 included a ride that is agile but "nervous," a bit too much noise and a cramped back seat. Still, the 3 was good enough to earn its place in the ranks of the "Recommended."
The Jeep didn't fare quite so well, with CR calling the polarizing CUV "half-baked." Although both engines were tested, the magazine called the 2.4-liter four-pot underpowered and its nine-speed automatic unrefined and unresponsive. That's particularly damning, considering the 9AT's role in future Chrysler products, including the extremely important 200. Overall, the Cherokee missed out on the coveted "Recommended" rating.
2018 Jeep Wrangler spy shots give us best look yet
Wed, May 18 2016A couple weeks ago, we got a fairly comprehensive set of 2018 Jeep Wrangler spy shots. For fans of the JK-series Jeeps, it was all good news: the basic Wrangler Unlimited formula and shape is present and accounted for, meaning this new Wrangler will be an evolution of the current SUV, rather than a ground-up reimagining. The new shots give us some more detail than we had previously, and let us point out some JL Wrangler features that reaffirm FCA's conservative approach. First of all, the heavy camouflage doesn't manage to fully cover the exposed door hinges, just like in the current model, so those are a safe bet for the production version. The raked-back windshield might lose its ability to fold down, we've heard. The JL remains a body-on-frame truck with a solid front axle, evidenced by the front diff peeking out and the radius arms connected to them. The large exterior mirrors also appear to be carryover items, and the taillights look indistinguishable from the current JK. We expect the front fascia to remain clearly recognizable as a Wrangler, but don't be surprised if the headlight and sidemarkers incorporate some LED elements as a nod to current trends. Remember, the JL will spawn a pickup version, and will slim down for better fuel economy with some aluminum elements, likely incorporated in the body. We expect the Pentastar V6 to carry over, but be joined by a diesel and a mild hybrid at some point in the future. It'll be built alongside its JK predecessor for a short time in Toledo, Ohio.

6 best cars for $5,000
Sat, Aug 11 2018Looking for a great used car but only have a few thousand bucks to spend? Check out our 6 favorite used vehicles that you can get for around $5,000 or less. 1. 2004-2006 Subaru WRX The Subaru Impreza WRX offers a lot of what you might want in a vehicle. A 2L turbocharged engine gives 227 horsepower and it gets 27 mpg on the highway. 2. 2006-2015 Mazda5 The Mazda5 never got the sales it deserved. It was affordable and more maneuverable than most vehicles, but it never took off. It was based on the Mazda3, and felt like it as well... just a bigger version. If you're lucky, you'll be able to locate one with a manual transmission. 3. 1990-1997 Mazda MX-5 Miata A car that's praised for rewarding the driver. The shifter is sublime, and the controls are light and accurate. The 1.6-liter engine that makes 115 horsepower or a 1.8-liter that makes 128 horsepower are our preferred versions. 4. 2009-2013 Honda Fit Beside being cute, it's supremely practical and great in the city. It manages to be pretty entertaining to drive, and let's not forget it's a hatchback. 5. 1987-2006 Jeep Wrangler Yes, it's possible to get a well-loved Jeep Wrangler with about 100,000 miles on the odometer. In many ways, a Wrangler is perfect for the snowy winters with its unrivaled 4x4 capability. An SUV, convertible and icon, all in one? What more could you ask for? 6. 2002 Chevy Silverado Truck lovers, we have you covered. We love the Chevy Silverado with a 5.3-liter V8 engine and a 4-speed automatic transmission. It makes a great second car, especially if you already have a fuel efficient vehicle around the house. What would you buy for $5,000?
