1988 Jeep Grand Wagoneer on 2040-cars
Old Saybrook, Connecticut, United States
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 Grand Cherokee
Wed, 23 Oct 2013Jeep appears to have nailed it this time. After two decades of assembling its Grand Cherokee sport utility vehicle, the American automaker has finally delivered a world-class off-roader capable of taking on everything in its segment - and more - with a high likelihood of coming out on top.
And if you drove last year's model, it's time to climb behind the wheel again as Jeep has significantly updated the SUV for 2014 with a bold new exterior appearance, an upgraded interior with enhanced electronics and a new transmission that completely transforms the way it drives.
We recently spent a full week with a dark blue 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland 4x4, a well-optioned model fitted with the standard gasoline-fed V6. While it didn't have the punch of the range-topping V8-powered SRT8, or the fuel-sipping economy of its new EcoDiesel sibling, the high-volume variant left us quite impressed.
Wards names its 2015 10 Best Interiors list
Fri, Apr 17 2015Wards Automotive has named the winners of its 10 Best Interior awards, covering a wide but affordable array of vehicles. Where last year's list contained two six-figure vehicles, including the $372,800 Rolls-Royce Wraith, this year's is, well, a whole lot more reasonable. The publication lists the Mercedes-Benz C400 at $65,000 (which seems off), making it the most expensive vehicle here. That said, we'd argue that the entire C-Class line deserves to make this year's list, owing to its varied and high-quality selection of materials. The other vehicle to break the $60,000 mark, meanwhile, is the $60,675 Ford F-150 King Ranch, which has 327,000 pounds of leather lining its interior. Only one other German car, the BMW i3, and one other pickup truck, the GMC Canyon, managed to make this year's list. Here's the full list of this year's winners: 2014 BMW i3 ($52,550) 2015 Chrysler 300C Platinum ($51,175) 2015 Ford F-150 King Ranch ($60,675) 2015 GMC Canyon SLT ($40,465) 2015 Honda Fit EX-L ($21,590) 2015 Jeep Renegade Limited ($33,205) 2015 Kia Sedona SXL ($43,295) 2016 Mazda6 Grand Touring ($33,395) 2015 Mercedes C400 ($65,000) 2015 Nissan Murano SL ($41,905) See what we mean about the mainstream vehicles? Not only is there a distinct lack of luxury brands, it's the price of some of the vehicles that surprise. The Honda Fit, Jeep Renegade and Mazda6 are very reasonably priced, especially when you compare Wards price with the starting price. The Renegade Limited starts at less than $25,000, the Mazda at less than $22K and the Fit at under $16,000. Head over to Wards for a more detailed explanation of why each vehicle won.

2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee gets surprisingly comprehensive update, new diesel power
Mon, 14 Jan 2013Traditionally, automotive journalists can be heard muttering something to the effect of "Geeze, it's about time!" whenever a vehicle's midcycle refresh is revealed. As we routinely see and drive new models many months before the public even claps eyes on them in showrooms - and then go on to tweeze apart their minutia in our daily writings - perhaps some impatience is to be expected. With so much exposure to a given vehicle, it's fair to say we tire of most cars and trucks far more quickly than the average consumer.
The alterations are handsome, if not subtle touches from the "If It Ain't Broke" school of design.
Which is why we're pleased to say "Oh, is it time for that already?" when it comes to the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The current WK2 Grand Cherokee hit the market in 2011 and climbed its way into our hearts with its rugged good looks, go-anywhere capability and surprising refinement. We're not yet tired of its appearance or performance, but even so, we're very glad to see Chrysler giving its flagship Jeep some attention, including a much-anticipated diesel powertrain option and some other economy-minded measures.
