Jeep made about 15,000 of these vehicles during 1998 - and only during 1998. They sported a 5.9 liter V8 engine generating 245 horsepower and 345 foot-pounds of torque.  They were the fastest SUV on the road that year.  The 5.9 is still considered among the "best of the best" versions of Jeep ever made and is a collectible.

The 5.9 was finished in only three exterior colors: white enamel, metallic gray and black metallic.  Until very recently I owned all three (part of my collection). I just sold the 300,000+ mile gray one (owned since new) to my nephew. He loves it.  I have the black and also the white one available for immediate purchase. (See my other EBay listing for the white one). I love these beasts but we are moving offshore. There's nowhere to store them for a long period of time that wouldn't cost a fortune.  They should go to a good home - someone who understands their value and will take good care of them.

This particular vehicle is non-modified (all factory original) outfitted with 5 Goodyear Wrangler HP tires with about 15% wear (this is the original tire that was mounted on the rim of this car from the factory). The air conditioning system is new OEM and works perfectly (cost about $2000 to replace).  New shocks, brake pads and rotors were installed within the past 9 months.  The vehicle is in excellent mechanical shape and has no cosmetic issues and zero rust. All fluids have been replaced on a regular basis. The vehicle is fully functional - including the ABS system, sunroof, Infinity radio, electric door locks, heated seats and gas sending unit in the gas tank. (I like cars that work). It has an OEM external spare tire holder and tow package. It even has OEM rubber floor mats and a rare cup holder insert! An American classic.

I will sell both Jeeps on a package deal basis for $11,500.00 - and throw in a set of 4 extra OEM rims and a front and rear bumper.  First come, first served.

Or feel free to bid for only one of them.  They are both in great shape and fun to drive. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me. Leave a phone number where I can reach you.

Zombie cars: 9 discontinued vehicles that aren't dead yet

Thu, Jan 6 2022

Car models come and go, but as revealed by monthly sales data, once a car is discontinued, it doesn't just disappear instantly. And in the case of some models, vanishing into obscurity can be a slow, tedious process. That's the case with the 12 cars we have here. All of them have been discontinued, but car companies keep racking up "new" sales with them. There are actually more discontinued cars that are still registering new sales than what we decided to include here. We kept this list to the oldest or otherwise most interesting vehicles still being sold as new, including a supercar. We'll run the list in alphabetical order, starting with *drumroll* ... BMW 6 Series: 55 total sales BMW quietly removed the 6 Series from the U.S. market during the 2019 model year. It had been available in three configurations, a hardtop coupe, a convertible and a sleek four-door coupe-like shape.   BMW i8: 18 total sales We've always had a soft spot for the BMW i8, despite the fact that it never quite fit into a particular category. It was sporty, but nowhere near as fast as similarly-priced competitors. It looked very high-tech and boasted a unique carbon fiber chassis design and a plug-in hybrid powertrain, but wasn't really designed for maximum efficiency or maximum performance. Still, the in-betweener was very cool to look at and drive, and 18 buyers took one home over the course of 2021.   Chevy Impala: 750 total sales The Impala represented classic American tastes at a time when American tastes were shifting away from soft-riding sedans with big interior room and trunk space and into higher-riding crossovers. A total of 750 sales were inked last year.   Chrysler 200: 15 total sales The Chrysler 200 was actually a pretty nice sedan, with good looks and decent driving dynamics let down by a lack of roominess, particularly in the back seat. Of course, as we said regarding the Chevy Impala, the number of Americans in the market for sedans is rapidly winding down, and other automakers are following Chrysler's footsteps in canceling their slow-selling four-doors. Even if Chrysler never really found its footing in the ultra-competitive midsize sedan segment, apparently dealerships have a few leftover 2017 200s floating around. And for some reason, 15 buyers decided to sign the dotted line to take one of these aging sedans home last year.

Trying the new Compass and other Jeeps on for size

Fri, Nov 18 2016

If any brand has license to sell several like-sized SUVs, it's Jeep, which invented the concept in the first place. Yet, with the Cherokee, Renegade, and the redesigned 2017 Jeep Compass revealed at the LA Auto Show, just how like-sized is this trio of compact SUVs? Well, as it turns out, that answer is more complicated than just looking at various spreadsheets of specifications. After the cover was pulled off the new Compass, I managed to explore each back-to-back-to-back to see how their back seats and cargo areas compare. Perhaps obviously, the Renegade is the smallest of the trio no matter how you look it. Well, it actually has the most headroom, but rear legroom is cramped (a 6-footer can't sit behind another 6-footer) and it's quite obvious the cargo area is about nine cubic feet smaller with the rear seats raised. However, the Cherokee and Compass are surprisingly similar both on paper and in person – and even more surprisingly, the newer, smaller-on-the-outside Compass is actually a bit more spacious despite being nine inches shorter in overall length. View 14 Photos When seated in back, my knees were just touching the driver seat when it was motored most of the way back to accommodate my 6-foot-3 frame. However, the Cherokee's slightly chunkier seatback meant the Compass actually had a bit more rear legroom. I then set the passenger seat to a more average distance and again, the Compass had a slight advantage. The Cherokee did have a bit more under-thigh support, however, which indicates the seat is mounted a bit higher. But that creates a problem, as headroom is more significantly affected when the panoramic sunroof is specified. In the Cherokee, my head was into the sunroof cavity and resting against its rigid surround. In the Compass, there was just enough clearance. It should be a difference, both in terms of headroom and perceived roominess that those of average height should notice. As for their cargo areas, the Compass' is larger and more useable. With the rear seats raised, it has 27.2 cubic feet versus the Cherokee's 24.6. You can scoot its sliding seat forward to nearly equal the Compass, but of course doing so reduces its rear legroom. The main reason is width. The Cherokee is noticeably narrow and it gets worse when equipped with the optional subwoofer. In terms of maximum cargo volume with the rear seats lowered, the Compass has 59.8 cubic feet to the Cherokee's 54.9.
