For Auction is a 1988 Jeep Grand Wagoneer. This Jeep is in great condition for a 26 year old vehicle. It lived its whole life in Colorado. It looks and drives great. The reserve price is reasonable.

Mechanically, the Jeep has been gone through top to bottom. It recently passed strict Colorado emission testing with flying colors. All of the original emission control equipment is intact and functional. The engine is strong and starts easily. The 4 wheel drive and cruise control work as they should. The transmission shifts smoothly. The Jeep drives very well.

The interior is in great condition. The leather seats are not torn. A/C blows ice cold. All power windows including tailgate were recently serviced and work well. Power seats work perfectly. Power door locks are sometimes a little sticky but work well. The headliner is sagging but not torn. The carpet in the rear cargo area is torn in the corners. The power mirror switch is faulty. The windshield wiper system is "sticky" but works fine.

The exterior looks very good, There is almost no rust except for two small spots as shown in the pictures on the front fender and rear quarter panel. The wood surround is in very good shape for the age, the paneling has some peeling. The paint is fading on the left side and the clear coat is peeling on the roof and some other areas. The frame and under-body have virtually no rust.

Many new parts were recently installed for the following systems:
Emissions: A California compliant catalytic converter (over $400), carbon canister, EGR valve, PCV valve, special curved PCV hose, miscellaneous vacuum hoses.
Suspension: Rancho shocks, steering stabilizer, transmission mount.
Cooling: Water pump, thermostat, radiator hoses, heater hoses, heater core, fan clutch, used radiator with low miles.
Fuel system: Fuel pump, accelerator pump, fuel filter, misc fuel lines.
Ignition system: spark plug wires, spark plugs, distributor cap and rotor, ignition coil, battery.
Engine mechanical: drive belts, valve cover gaskets.
Trim: Outer window wipes, and inner tailgate wipe.
The transmission fluid and filter were recently serviced, as well as differential fluids, and front wheel bearings.

There are some issues to be expected on a 26 year old vehicle. The engine and transmission do have minor leaks as could be expected on a vehicle of this age. It will need a muffler soon, all other exhaust components are in excellent condition. The tires are "out of round" from sitting but still have 90% tread.

I have been as thorough as possible in the description, so a potential buyer can bid with confidence. I believe that this is a very nice example of these classic Jeeps. It would be a great candidate for a complete restoration, or just driven as is. It should have no trouble passing safety or emission inspection in any state.
I recently drove this Jeep from Colorado to Connecticut, over 1500 miles and wouldn't hesitate driving it across country again.

A $750 dollar deposit via paypal will be required within 48 hours after the auction ends. Remaining balance in cash or certified check or bank transfer. During regular business hours at a local bank.
Any bidder with less than 5 feedback must contact me before placing bids.
The Jeep is located in Old Saybrook, CT. Local pickup only. I will consider driving the vehicle a short distance if buyer wishes to arrange and pay for shipping, and payment is complete. All arrangements must be made before conclusion of auction.

Additional pictures are available.
Feel free to contact me with any questions. Thank you and happy bidding.

2014 Jeep Cherokee flaunts its new contemporary curves

Wed, 27 Mar 2013

Only slightly more than one month ago, undisguised (and less-than-flattering) shots of the all-new 2014 Jeep Cherokee were leaked online. Later that day, in an effort to suppress the uprising, Jeep countered with its own official photography offering us much clearer front and three-quarter views. We've been left to digest those pictures for weeks.
Now, mere hours before the fabric comes sliding off its newest mid-size sport-utility at its live reveal at the New York Auto Show, Jeep has released dozens of new images showing all four corners, plus a few interior shots, of its new Cherokee.

Jeep Wrangler Polar Edition coming to America

Wed, 23 Oct 2013

Jeep originally took the wraps off its Polar Edition Wrangler at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September, and at the time, we figured this would be a Europe-only affair. (Perfectly fine, since we US customers haven't exactly been lacking special edition Wrangler models over the years.) But now, and as Jeep says, just in time for winter, the automaker has announced that the ice cold Wrangler will be hitting North American showrooms in November.
Based on the Wrangler Sahara model, the Polar Edition can be had in either two- or four-door body styles, with a unique Hydro Blue paint job as the featured color. (Buyers can also opt for less-special Billet Silver and Bright White hues.) Other exterior enhancements include a body-colored hardtop, 18-inch gloss black wheels, the Powerdome (power bulge) hood, and unique decals all around the body.
But the Polar Edition isn't just about some paint and stickers. Jeep has fitted this Wrangler with a Dana 30 front axle and Dan 44 rear axle, as well as the Trac-Lok anti-spin electronic rear differential. Like all US-spec Wranglers, the Polar Edition uses Jeep's 3.6-liter Pentastar V6, producing 285 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. Both a six-speed manual and five-speed automatic transmission are available.

Jeep spied testing new compact crossover

Tue, Nov 24 2015

Jeep is preparing a new crossover to slot in between the Renegade and Cherokee. Spied here for the first time, the new model is expected to arrive sometime around the middle of the new year. And with it, FCA's off-road brand will finally have a successor for the Compass and Patriot. From the little bit we can project at this early stage, the new C-segment Jeep is expected to ride on a modified version of the platform that underpins the Renegade and Fiat 500X. Motivation is tipped to come from the company's new 2.0-liter turbocharged Hurricane inline-four mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission. We expect it to come in front and all-wheel-drive versions. The big question mark at this point is what the vehicle will be called. As the replacement for both the Compass and the Patriot, this model could adopt either nameplate – or it could wear a new one entirely. If the Renegade and 500X are anything to go by, the new Jeep could be offered as a Fiat as well, which could easily be dubbed the 500XL. We'll have to wait and see, but in the meantime you can check out the prototype Â– albeit in camouflaged form Â– in the image gallery above. Related Video:
