1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee -- for repair or parts.

140,000 miles, no rust to speak of, ran great until I swerved to avoid a deer and hit a tree. Front left unibody is bent, but vehicle still drives fine and tracks straight.

6cyl, auto, 4wd.

Recent new radiator, front U-joints, 85,000 mile used transmission about 4k miles ago, exhaust, brakes and rotors, ABS sensor, Infinity power amp, various other parts. A/C works, cruise works, all power stuff works fine, except as noted. Windshield was recently replaced, and is nice and clear. Interior is okay -- not great, but not utterly disgusting.


Have 4 extra factory rims. (NOTE: the tires shown in the pictures are nearly new Cooper light truck studded snows, which I am NOT including with the sale. I will be replacing them with 4 older Cooper tires of the same size, unless buyer wants to purchase them separately.) Clean title.

I swapped the brand new battery out into my other vehicle, so the Jeep has to be jumped, but it starts right up and drives fine, other than a bit of rubbing.

There WERE a few issues with the vehicle, which I was in the process of addressing when the accident occurred, and I will list them as completely and honestly as I can:

1. The spline/connector on the front drive shaft slips, so it makes a noise when you engage 4wd. My mechanic told me it's not a big deal to replace.

2. There's an error message that says: "Coolant Sensor Bad". The coolant sensor has been replaced, and my research suggests that the problem is a faulty solder contact in the diagnostic readout on the console, but I have not gotten around to removing it to check.

3. Had an intermittent starting problem that we suspected was related to chassis ground. To test this hypothesis, I ran an old jumper cable from the battery ground, through the firewall, and clamped it to the seat frame, and that did solve the problem, so will need to make a more permanent connection underneath.
4. Hatch shocks are shot.

5. I removed the aftermarket radio I had in there and put the original cassette/cd unit back, but it has a broken knob.

6. There's a code coming up that indicates a 3-4 shift modulator (which can be replaced without removing the transmission). It's been there since I installed the transmission, and the transmission shifts fine, so I pretty much ignore it and figured I'd take care of it the next time I had the pan down for normal trans maintenance.

I think that about covers it. Drivetrain is strong and reliable. Suspension is good.

FCA and Peugeot reportedly agree on merger

Wed, Oct 30 2019

Citing a Wall Street Journal report, the Detroit Free Press says "Fiat Chrysler and PSA Groupe have agreed to merge." The Journal reported on talks between the two car companies only yesterday. It's said that Peugeot's board met yesterday to approve the deal, FCA's board met today, and an announcement could come as soon as tomorrow, Thursday. Both automakers have released statements, but neither company has released any information beyond admitting to ongoing talks. If the merger happens, the combined entity would become the world's fourth-largest carmaker with a $50 billion valuation, slotting in behind Toyota, the Volkswagen Group, and the Renault Nissan Mitsubishi alliance. Among the merger options possible, "an all-stock merger of equals" is the one analysts and Moody's seem to give the best grade. The reported merger would come about four months after FCA walked away from merger talks with Renault. FCA said the French government scuppered those talks over the role of Nissan in a reformed entity, but there were also brewing issues with French unions, and ongoing turmoil among Renault and Nissan leadership thanks to continuing fallout from ex-CEO Carlos Ghosn's arrest last year. FCA makes most of its revenue in the U.S. and rules Italy, while Peugeot is the second-best-selling automaker in Europe with its own brand in France and Opel in Germany. The two companies already have a partnership in Europe making vans, one that FCA CEO Mike Manley has spoken highly of. Among the list of obvious benefits in a potential merger, FCA would get access to Peugeot's small, modern platforms, $10.2 billion in cash, and electrified and hybrid architecture developments, the latter especially important to FCA as those are fields where it lags. Peugeot would get much easier access to the U.S. market, and the money-printing brands Jeep and Ram. A merged carmaker would have combined sales of nearly 9 million a year, based on 2018 results. By comparison, both Volkswagen and Toyota sell over 10 million cars a year, while the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi alliance almost 11 million. Peugeot CEO Carlos Tavares has proved he knows how to do turnarounds and mergers. After leaving a position as Carlos Ghosn's right-hand man in 2012, Tavares took over Peugeot in 2014, navigated a bailout from the French government and China's Dongfeng Motors in 2015, and turned PSA into a regional powerhouse.

BMW tops Consumer Reports 2023 Brand Report Card

Thu, Feb 16 2023

Feels like we wrote about Consumer Reports' 2022 Brand Report Car and 10 Top Picks a few weeks ago, but it was last April. So the mag is back with a ranked roster of 32 brands and 10 vehicles in four categories for your debating pleasure. Starting with the brands, last year's top three were Subaru, Mazda and BMW. This year, the Munich crew climbed two spots to win the prize thanks to "Superb road test scores and solid results in CR’s reliability and owner satisfaction surveys." Subaru narrowly fell to second, maintaining its four-year run in the top three. Mini, eighth last year, jumped five spots to get the last step on the podium. The rest of the top 10 were Lexus (up one spot from last year), Honda (down one spot from last year), Toyota (up three), Genesis (up 12), Mazda (down six), Audi (down three) and Kia (up eight). The magazine and testing outfit says its Brand Report Card "[reveals] which automakers are producing the most well-performing, safe, and reliable vehicles based on CRÂ’s independent testing and member surveys," and that "Brands that rise to the top tend to have the most consistent performance across their model lineups." Last year's top 10 had six automakers from Japan, three from Germany (giving Mini credit for England), none from the U.S. or South Korea, and five luxury brands. This year's list counts five makes from Japan, two from Germany because Porsche fell out of the top ten, two from South Korea, still none from the U.S., and four luxury brands. Buick again ranked as the best domestic, dropping to 12th after being 11th last year. The big mover was Lincoln, its 10-place jump up to 16th attributed to better reliability from the Corsair and Nautilus. Tesla's improved overall reliability saw it climb six spots to 17th. Dodge climbed one spot to 15th. Jeep got out of the penalty box in last to come second-to-last. Land Rover fell three places into the penalty spot.  CR's top 10 vehicle models The 10 Top Picks list is practically a new list. Only two holdovers made it to 2023, those being the Subaru Forester and Kia Telluride.
