1988 Jeep Grand Wagoneer

This has been a great vehicle for me.  I have owned this Jeep for roughly three years.  I am in the process of moving and am looking to part ways with my Jeep.  This Jeep is a classic.  It has been a good runner for me.  I talked with my wife at great detail about this and have come to realize a few things.  1) I am not a mechanic. 2) I do not want to become a car guy because I would rather spend my money on other hobbies.  

I have noticed over the past few months that there was some oil leaking from the Jeep. I took the Jeep into a mechanic this week and was given the following things to look at.  1) Manifold Gasket Set  2) Valve Cover Gasket Set  3) Battery  4) Coolant.  The estimated repairs with parts and labor at this specific shop came out to $888.04.  Please be aware of this.  These are repairs the mechanic could see from the outside of the engine.  There could be more once the engine is worked on.  The driver side window needs a new track in order to function.  I was told by the same mechanic the part can be purchased for about $10.  I have a picture of the window motor in my pictures.  The plastic track is what needs to be replaced.  There are minor rust spots on the body.  There is a major rust spot through the rear passenger side floor.  This spot goes through the floor and is the size of a softball.  Please see the pictures.  I had the mechanic fix the tow package, so you could pull something if desired.  The interior is in fair to good shape.  The carpet is in good shape in both the front and middle of the Jeep.  The carpet has started to deteriorate in the rear of the Jeep.  If you look at the pictures, you will see a wiring system sticking out of the back door of the Jeep.  This was something I had installed to operate the rear window.  On this particular model, you need to roll down the rear window before opening the tailgate.  If you look closely at the mileage gauge, the number in the one hundred thousandths place looks different.  This has led me and my wife to feel as if a previous owner has tampered with the mileage gauge.  Once again, I am not a mechanic.  I want to make sure I am being as honest as possible with this description.  If you have questions on anything else you see, please let me know.

On a final note, I am looking to sell this Jeep because I feel I can spend my money on other hobbies.  This would be an awesome vehicle for somebody looking to restore or have a fun project at home.  There is a reserve on this Jeep because it does have a lot of nice qualities to it.  The best being that it is a cool ride.  Please feel free to email me your questions and I will try to be as honest as possible about it.  Please understand my knowledge of everything automobile related is limited, but I will try to do my best to help you out.

Jeep pickup confirmed, will be built in Toledo

Tue, Jan 12 2016

Finally. In 2011 Jeep CEO Mike Manley said, "It is too late in Wrangler's product cycle to add a pickup. The 2015 or 2016 time frame makes more sense," when the next-generation Wrangler is due. A year later, Manley told an Australian outlet that a decision on a Jeep with a bed would come "pretty soon." Now, The Detroit News reports that the decision has been made, and it's a "Yes."A Wrangler-based truck is expected to arrive in 2017, sometime after the launch of the next Wrangler. And it'll be built in Toledo next to its sibling. Those desperate for a carry-all Wrangler have been able to buy Mopar's JK8 conversion kit for the past four years. Frankly, even though the Jeep Gladiator concept (pictured) is now 11 years old and the JT concept is nine years old, we think either one of them could roll off the line in a year and be welcomed with hosannas. This year's New York Auto Show will also be the site of the reveal of the compact SUV that will slot in between the Renegade and the Cherokee, built on the Renegade/Fiat 500X platform and replacing both the Compass and Patriot. Derided by many, in the US the two aging CUVs still sell terrifically well - they both hit records here last year. One of them will live on in name, the new SUV to be called either Compass or Patriot; the former name is bigger in international markets, the latter name gets more recognition here. That show is when we'll also get Fiat Chrysler's updated five-year plan that will take us through the presumed end of CEO Sergio Marchionne's tenure at FCA.

MotorWeek reviews '83 American Motors lineup

Wed, Mar 18 2015

The 30th anniversary of American Motors' 1987 sale to Chrysler by Renault is just a few years away. AMC is long dead, but for its latest peek in the archives, MotorWeek winds back the clock to somewhat happier times. Take a look at the entire AMC lineup from 1983, including its models from Jeep and Renault. The Jeeps, and to a lesser extent, the AMC Eagle, enjoy a cult following today, but it's amazing how many of these other vehicles are now practically forgotten. Even the big debut in '83 of the Renault Alliance is largely ignored. Although with a ludicrous amount of body roll and a 55-horsepower 1.4-liter engine, it's probably rightly buried.
