1989 Jeep Grand Wagoneer

68,076 Original Miles

 

VERY low mileage 1989 Jeep Grand Wagoneer, garaged in Memphis, Tennessee.  I purchased this Jeep in February 2010 as a fun weekend car because I always liked their style and have put less than 2,000 miles on it in 4+ years.  I have kept it always in my garage and it has not seen a raindrop in those 4 and a half years.  My wife and I just had a baby and that is causing me to sell for some extra cash.

 

Pros: This Jeep is a very desirable color combination – the Baltic Blue with Sand interior.  Cosmetically the paint and woodgrain are very clean – although I have included one picture of a ding on the woodgrain where I have held a key up for a size reference.  Interior is in good shape and original, although the headliner was replaced before I purchased the vehicle.  The car starts easily and drives well – great for cruising around town.  I always got a lot of honks and waves in this car, as for some reason it seems to make people happy to see one that looks nice.  Until a year or two ago Memphis had emissions testing and this vehicle passed our emissions standards – no small feat for an AM 360 engine of this age.  Also the rear window rolls up and down – this motor they often say is one of the first things to go.

 

Cons:  I am not really a car guy so I can only tell you what I know to be wrong with the vehicle, and I will be honest.  The fuel gauge always shows full – the most likely cause is the fuel tank sending unit has gone bad.  This is not a bad change as I read you can access the top of the fuel tank from under the rear bench seats, and the sending unit retails for about $55.  The front driver side tire has a slow leak and is missing the “Jeep” center cap on the wheel (these come up on ebay all the time).  The AC blows but does not blow cold – may have a freon leak.  The heater works great.  The emergency break does not completely keep the car from rolling when it is in gear – I think it may need to be tightened.  The radio doesn’t work but I think the fuse blew – I am going to replace the fuse this week and if that fixes the problem I will update the listing.  Also the power door locks only lock/unlock a couple of the doors.

 

I have had some work done on this car.  Shortly after purchase in 2010 I had new plugs, wires, distributor cap, ignition rotor, a few hoses, and fuel filter replaced as well as a carb rebuild.  I also had a catalytic converter, muffler, tail pipe and hanger installed so that it would pass emissions testing.  I also had new front and rear shocks and steering damper installed.  I have receipts for all of the above.

 

All in all this is not a fully restored or show quality car that you often see on ebay, but I am not seeking fully restored prices either.  However this is a great opportunity to get into a low mileage Grand Wagoneer that looks great as it drives by, and if you are handy you can put some time into this car and really have something special.  The miles don't lie, and 68k Grand Wagoneers don't come up for sale often in the price range I am looking for.

 

I have listed what I know is wrong with the car but that does not constitute a warranty that there may not be other things that I do not know about.  The car is still being sold “as-is” with no warranties (expressed or implied, written or oral).  I will not provide a return or refund, no exceptions.  Buyer is responsible for any and all shipping expenses.  Car comes with a free and clear title.

 

If you have any questions about the Jeep feel free to shoot me an e-mail at mattlammel@yahoo.com.  This is usually the best way to reach me.

 

PAYMENT:

 

I require a deposit of $1,000.00 to be paid via Paypal within 24 hours of purchase, no exceptions unless discussed and approved first.  Final payment is due within three (3) calendar days of purchase, no exceptions unless discussed and approved first.  If final payment is not made within three calendar days, then the deposit becomes my property and I retain the rights to re-list the car or sell the car at will.

 

By bidding, and/or making an offer, and/or purchasing the car you are agreeing to the terms above.

 

I have the vehicle listed locally and reserve the right to end this auction at any time.

NHTSA investigates FCA for SUVs that roll out of Park

Tue, Aug 25 2015

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening a preliminary evaluation into the 2014 Dodge Durango and 2014-205 Jeep Grand Cherokee after 14 complaints of the SUVs rolling out of Park. An estimated 408,000 of them could be affected, if a recall is necessary. All of the current complaints submitted to NHTSA about the issue concern the Grand Cherokee, and the claims allege that the SUV can roll out of Park whether or not the engine is running. Some folks report that they check the indicator each time because the gear sometimes fails to engage. Among the 14 cases, there are five accounts of crashes and three injuries, including a situation with someone allegedly being rolled over. NHTSA's preliminary evaluations are meant to investigate "the scope, frequency, and safety-related consequence" of a reported problem. They don't necessarily lead to a recall.

The unintended motion has occurred with both the engine off and the engine running. ODI has also identified EWR field report data related to the alleged defect. The model year 2014 and 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles are equipped with an electronic gear selector (shift-by-wire system). The gear selection is made by pressing the shifter-paddle forward or backwards; the shifter does not move along a gate path as with conventional gear selectors. A Preliminary Evaluation has been opened to asses the scope, frequency, and safety-related consequence of the alleged defect. The VOQs associated with the opening of this investigation are: 10733158, 10730952, 10683556, 10679497, 10583366, 10725429, 10715401, 10711893, 10676998, 10668651, 10662619, 10662308, 10605865, and 10567538.

Jeep launches new ad with unreleased Michael Jackson track

Fri, 09 May 2014

We've recently heard much about how Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne plans to pump up the volume on Jeep sales, inaugurating new models and global dealerships. But that's the stuff outlined in five-year plans; right now, advertising and special editions are at the fore, and the late Michael Jackson, too. Jeep has begun airing two commercials to push its Altitude Editions, Call of Summer and Lovers of the Game, that feature the song "Love Never Felt So Good" from Jackson's upcoming album of new music.
A little more star power - and timely, too - comes from Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Kyrie Irving. While Call of Summer features a few short shots of the former Rookie of the Year and two-time NBA All-Star, Lovers of the Game is all about his white Wrangler Altitude Edition and wrangling shots. You can watch both spots below, and if you want to hear the rest of the music track before the album hits, you can download it from iTunes.

Sunday Drive: Variety is the spice of life

Sun, Nov 12 2017

If there's any one new vehicle the entire world is anxiously waiting for, it's the Jeep Wrangler. Yes, of course the iconic off-roader has a loyal following here in America, but you could plop a Wrangler pretty much anywhere on the globe and everybody will know what it is. Put simply, the redesigned 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL has big, muddy shoes to fill, and the readers of Autoblog are just as interested in the Wrangler's rebirth as anyone else. Moving along, we were fortunate enough last week to spend a bit of time in nearly every version of the venerable Volkswagen Golf all in one day. There isn't a Golf we don't like, but there's one, easily identifiable by its three-digit name, that stands above all the rest: GTI. We think it's the best Golf you can buy, even if there's an R-badged variant that slots above the GTI in VW hierarchy. Rounding out our recap are three vehicles that could hardly be more different. The 2019 GMC Sierra, which was seen wearing pretty light camouflage, is a truck. The Lamborghini Terzo Millennio – which isn't going to go on sale, ever, at any price Β– is a conceptual supercar. And the Honda CB1000R is a retro-themed naked standard motorcycle. Variety really is the spice of life. 2018 Jeep Wrangler spy shot mega gallery Driving nearly every VW Golf: Base, GTI, R, Alltrack Β— here's what we learned 2019 GMC Sierra spied sporting just a thin wrapping The Lamborghini Terzo Millennio is a brutally fantastic EV supercar concept Honda unveils 2 new motorcycles, including retro-flavored CB1000R Image Credit: Brian Williams GMC Honda Jeep Lamborghini Volkswagen Technology Truck Convertible Crossover Hatchback SUV Performance sunday drive vw golf gti lamborghini terzo millennio
