Time to sell my Grand Cherokee as I'm up to 5 cars for 2 people.

The vehicle is well equipped with 4.7L V8 engine, select-trac 4WD, anti-lock brakes, infinity stereo (cassette & CD), heated seats, power front seats (driver and passenger), A/C, power sunroof, towing package (class III), leather interior, remote keyless entry, factory alarm system, 60/40 split rear seat, auto dimming rear view mirror, heated side view mirrors, universal garage door opener, overhead console (compass/temp/trip computer), roof luggage rack, full size spare with alloy wheel, and rear window defroster and wiper. 

I'm the second owner of the car and bought it in late 2002 with 20Kish miles. I have had no major engine or transmission problems as the car has been well maintained over the years and runs great. I ran synthetic oil in the car until about 125K miles. Last tune was about 105,000 miles. I have replaced the crankshaft sensor, A/C evaporator, and most recently (this year) the front and rear back brakes (rotors,calipers, and pads).  Tires are near new maybe 8 to 10K miles on them. The interior is in great condition. dash and console are like new. The back seats have hardly been sat in. Driver seat has normal wear but doesn't look like 12 years old. Passenger seat is in real good shape. It is 2-3 years into a 72 month battery. I bought the car in Connecticut so it spend 3 years of winters there before coming back to Florida in 2005. Paint is in good condition but the car has a couple of dings here or there and some localized rust. Car runs good, AC works, and it's in overall good condition.

Now for the mechanical and cosmetic issues. I have changed the driver and passenger side window regulators a total of 5 times. As an Engineer I finally decided to repair the replacement part before reinstalling them since the failure was always the same. Both sides have been hanging in there ever since. However, the drivers side rear regulator just failed. I have a 2x4 back there holding up the window. Air bag light is on. I got a recall notice over a year ago on the air bag system and indicated the light would come on but they couldn't repair them until they got parts. I haven't heard anything more about it. So one or both of the airbags might not work, not sure. Check engine light is on. It never stays off more than a month or so. I have had the problem since after buying the car. Jeep dealer could never fix it. I found a vacuum leak not long ago and got it to go away for a month. But it's back. I don't bother checking the code anymore since it doesn't seem to effect anything. Overhead console stopped working. It was intermittent at first then it died. The 12V receptacles did the same thing. I suspect a bad ground but I haven't bothered with it since I really never used them. Wheels are showing some surface corrosion...maybe New England salt? There is rust on the hood in 4 or 5 plcs. It rusted from the inside out so it looks like poor prep on the original paint. Same rust problem on the top at the sunroof which needs repair soon. The sunroof leaked this year and I just put silicone caulk on it to stop it. I have never used the sunroof except opening it when I bought it. Hood air springs don't hold up the hood anymore (broomstick works nicely). Lift gate air springs hold but won't last much longer. These are the reasons the car is priced right to sell.

KBB book value for fair condition is about $3900 and the car is in better shape than fair condition and I'm asking for less.

Mazda2 nets Japan Car of the Year, Cherokee first US model to ever crack top 10

Tue, 14 Oct 2014

The 2015 Mazda2 is quite high up on our must-drive list. Yes, the teeny, tiny successor to the 100-horsepower five-door is worth getting excited over, largely because the previous generation was one of the absolute best smiles-per-dollar values on the market.
While we eagerly await for our opportunity to take to the 2's helm, our expectations of the new car have just been heightened thanks to its win in Japan's Car of the Year competition. Called "Demio" in the land of the rising sun, Japanese journalists handed out Mazda's second COTY award since the CX-5 took the title in 2012.
In more surprising news, the new Jeep Cherokee has made the list of 10 Best Cars in Japan. The Jeep's triumph marks the first time an American car has cracked the top ten, finishing eighth. It's not, however, the first Fiat Chrysler vehicle to snag the title, following in the footsteps of the Alfa Romeo Giulietta and Fiat Panda. Still, the fact that an American brand can make such impressive inroads into the traditionally tough-to-crack Japanese market is a seriously big deal.

2018 Jeep Wrangler will keep classic hood style

Tue, Jul 25 2017

One of our spy photographers caught some FCA employees poking around under the hood of a 2018 Jeep Wrangler prototype. They had the hood open wide, and because of that, we can catch a couple little details that tell us a bit more about the exterior styling of the Wrangler. Mainly that some of the Wrangler's signature hood details will remain for the new generation. The first details we caught were the bolt holes in the hood at the base near the hinges. These show that, as with the previous model of Wrangler, the 2018 model will feature chunky, rugged-looking external hood hinges. We can also infer that if these hinges remain, the doors will likely have matching ones, and those will hopefully still be removable. The second details we spotted were a bit more subtle. On the sides of the hood towards the leading edge, there are some indentations. Based on the positioning, and their small size, we believe these are the indentations for external tie-down latches for the hood, just like the old model. Actually, just like pretty much every Wrangler-style Jeep back to the military models used in World War II. Based on a report last week from JL Wrangler Forums, we are expecting to see the fully revealed 2018 Jeep Wrangler and its classic hood details at this year's LA auto show. It is then expected to arrive at dealers in December with both V6 and four-cylinder engine offerings.

GMC boss wants a Jeep Wrangler rival

Wed, 12 Nov 2014

Challengers come and challengers go, but the Jeep Wrangler continues to push forward even after vehicles like the Toyota FJ Cruiser and the entire Hummer brand have been shut down. Now GMC reportedly wants to take a stab at the quintessential Jeep, as well.
The news comes directly from Buick-GMC vice president Duncan Aldred, speaking with our compatriots over at Edmunds. Although Aldred said there are no plans currently on the table to expand GMC's lineup beyond the current range, "there is plenty of room everywhere in the hierarchy."
That could include a rival to the Wrangler, as well as a flagship luxury SUV positioned above the current Yukon Denali (pictured above). Just when (or for that matter, if) such models might come into fruition remains a big question mark, but it's certainly interesting to see what GM's dedicated truck brand has on the drawing board.
