Charlotte, North Carolina, United States

1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo, 99,410 miles.  2nd Owner, it was bought used in 2002.  It has been well maintained and has been an incredibly reliable car.  I take good care of my cars and this one is no exception.  This one has been very lightly used over the last 5 years, driven once a week.  The result is a mechanically sound, low-mileage car with a clean interior.  It has never failed a North Carolina state inspection.  My other cars are Mercedes, and I had my usual Mercedes mechanic inspect this recently, he said its in great shape and sees no problems.  The only thing he mentioned was that the usual rubber suspension joints (ball joint, bushings, etc) could optionally be replaced.  This is a smoke-free vehicle.

Pros:
  • New tires
  • Clean interior
  • New battery
  • Alpine CD player
  • Low miles, its very hard to find one of these w/ less than 100,000 miles on it.
  • No fluid leaks whatsoever.
  • A/C blows very hard and cold, no problem whatsoever with it.
  • Windows all work perfectly
  • Interior overall very clean
  • Catalytic converter replaced 10,000 miles ago, so no rattling.  
  • Oil changes every 3,000 miles religiously

Issues:
  • The tail-gate does not open.  I was rear-ended in a low-speed collision and it broke the latch mechanism.  There is a minor cosmetic dent in the tailgate, as well as the bottom right side of the rear bumper.  There is no other damage from the incident.  The rear-window DOES still function correctly, but it needs new shocks to hold it open.
  • Rear auto-door locks don't work, need to be locked and unlocked manually.  Front 2 door locks perfectly, this is only the rear passenger doors.
  • The interior headliner is coming loose around the edges, a very common problem with older jeeps. 

About me, I have been buying and selling on ebay for over 15 years and have perfect feedback.  I always do my best to disclose the pros and cons of every item, and to take high quality pictures so the buyer knows what he or she will be getting.

Cash Only - I know it lists Money Order as an option, but that was a mistake and eBay won't let me delete that.

Jeep Renegade to show off new Mopar gear in Detroit

Sun, Jan 11 2015

Jeep's adorable new Renegade is arriving in the US market soon (we're looking forward to driving it in a couple weeks), and to highlight that fact, the American off-road brand is trotting out a pair of Mopar-modified compact CUVs for the 2015 North American International Auto Show. Rather simply, Jeep has modified one Renegade to show off its prowess in the city, and another that plays up the crossover's off-road abilities. Despite their different purposes, both vehicles show off Mopar's parts catalog and Jeep's Authentic Accessories lineup for the new baby Jeep. The Urban Renegade borrows uses a Renegade Limited with Anvil paint as its base and draws from the Accessories catalog, adding a number of Omaha orange accents and satin black wheels. Mopar donated a bike-hauling trailer hitch to the rear of the Renegade, while its cabin features Katzkin leather-lined seats. Once again, Omaha orange accents brighten up the Limited's cabin. As for the off-road model, Mopar got a bit more involved, starting with the Renegade Trailhawk and adding satin black wheels with Colorado red trim and X-shaped graphics, borrowed from military jerry cans, to the Commando Green exterior. A number of prototype and one-off body mods were fitted to the Trailhawk, including a concept skid plate, rock rails and a new rear valence. Inside, Katzkin leather was applied to the Renegade's seats while the Omaha orange accents from the Urban Renegade have been replaced with Commando Green bits and bobs in the off-road model. Look for more on these new Renegade twins come Monday, when we hit the floor of the 2015 Detroit Auto Show. Until then, check out the official press release from Mopar.

Bring back the Bronco! Trademarks we hope are actually (someday) future car names

Tue, Mar 17 2015

Trademark filings are the tea leaves of the auto industry. Read them carefully – and interpret them correctly – and you might be previewing an automaker's future product plans. Yes, they're routinely filed to maintain the rights to an iconic name. And sometimes they're only for toys and clothing. But not always. Sometimes, the truth is right in front of us. The trademark is required because a company actually wants to use the name on a new car. With that in mind, here's a list of intriguing trademark filings we want to see go from paperwork to production reality. Trademark: Bronco Company: Ford Previous Use: The Bronco was a long-running SUV that lived from 1966-1996. It's one of America's original SUVs and was responsible for the increased popularity of the segment. Still, it's best known as O.J. Simpson's would-be getaway car. We think: The Bronco was an icon. Everyone seems to want a Wrangler-fighter – Ford used to have a good one. Enough time has passed that the O.J. police chase isn't the immediate image conjured by the Bronco anymore. Even if we're doing a wish list in no particular order, the Bronco still finds its way to the top. For now (unfortunately), it's just federal paperwork. Rumors on this one can get especially heated. The official word from a Ford spokesman is: "Companies renew trademark filings to maintain ownership and control of the mark, even if it is not currently used. Ford values the iconic Bronco name and history." Trademarks: Aviator, AV8R Company: Ford Previous Use: The Aviator was one of the shortest-run Lincolns ever, lasting for the 2003-2005 model years. It never found the sales success of the Ford Explorer, with which it shared a platform. We Think: The Aviator name no longer fits with Lincoln's naming nomenclature. Too bad, it's better than any other name Lincoln currently uses, save for its former big brother, the Navigator. Perhaps we're barking up the wrong tree, though. Ford has made several customized, aviation themed-Mustangs in the past, including one called the Mustang AV8R in 2008, which had cues from the US Air Force's F-22 Raptor fighter jet. It sold for $500,000 at auction, and the glass roof – which is reminiscent of a fighter jet cockpit – helped Ford popularize the feature. Trademark: EcoBeast Company: Ford Previous Use: None by major carmakers.

Freak accident during Jeep demonstration turns fatal

Mon, 20 May 2013

A 20-year-old woman was killed in Edmonton, Canada on Satuday, reports CTV News, in a freak accident resulting from a rollover during a Jeep demonstration. As part of a fundraising enthusiast event called "Jeeps Go Topless," the driver of one Jeep Wrangler drove up and onto the top of the tire of another.
CTV reports that the owner of the topmost Jeep then switched the vehicle off, posed for pictures and then dismounted from his vehicle. His movement off of the Jeep apparently caused it to tip over, crushing a woman who was on top of an adjacent vehicle. Edmonton police are currently investigating more fully what caused the parking lot accident to occur. Scroll below to watch the CTV News video report about this tragic incident.
