1989 Jeep Grand Wagoneer

68,076 Original Miles

 

VERY low mileage 1989 Jeep Grand Wagoneer, garaged in Memphis, Tennessee.  I purchased this Jeep in February 2010 as a fun weekend car because I always liked their style and have put less than 2,000 miles on it in 4+ years.  I have kept it always in my garage and it has not seen a raindrop in those 4 and a half years.  My wife and I just had a baby and that is causing me to sell for some extra cash.

 

Pros: This Jeep is a very desirable color combination – the Baltic Blue with Sand interior.  Cosmetically the paint and woodgrain are very clean – although I have included one picture of a ding on the woodgrain where I have held a key up for a size reference.  Interior is in good shape and original, although the headliner was replaced before I purchased the vehicle.  The car starts easily and drives well – great for cruising around town.  I always got a lot of honks and waves in this car, as for some reason it seems to make people happy to see one that looks nice.  Until a year or two ago Memphis had emissions testing and this vehicle passed our emissions standards – no small feat for an AM 360 engine of this age.  Also the rear window rolls up and down – this motor they often say is one of the first things to go.

 

Cons:  I am not really a car guy so I can only tell you what I know to be wrong with the vehicle, and I will be honest.  The fuel gauge always shows full – the most likely cause is the fuel tank sending unit has gone bad.  This is not a bad change as I read you can access the top of the fuel tank from under the rear bench seats, and the sending unit retails for about $55.  The front driver side tire has a slow leak and is missing the “Jeep” center cap on the wheel (these come up on ebay all the time).  The AC blows but does not blow cold – may have a freon leak.  The heater works great.  The emergency break does not completely keep the car from rolling when it is in gear – I think it may need to be tightened.  The radio doesn’t work but I think the fuse blew – I am going to replace the fuse this week and if that fixes the problem I will update the listing.  Also the power door locks only lock/unlock a couple of the doors.

 

I have had some work done on this car.  Shortly after purchase in 2010 I had new plugs, wires, distributor cap, ignition rotor, a few hoses, and fuel filter replaced as well as a carb rebuild.  I also had a catalytic converter, muffler, tail pipe and hanger installed so that it would pass emissions testing.  I also had new front and rear shocks and steering damper installed.  I have receipts for all of the above.

 

All in all this is not a fully restored or show quality car that you often see on ebay, but I am not seeking fully restored prices either.  However this is a great opportunity to get into a low mileage Grand Wagoneer that looks great as it drives by, and if you are handy you can put some time into this car and really have something special.  The miles don't lie, and 68k Grand Wagoneers don't come up for sale often in the price range I am looking for.

 

I have listed what I know is wrong with the car but that does not constitute a warranty that there may not be other things that I do not know about.  The car is still being sold “as-is” with no warranties (expressed or implied, written or oral).  I will not provide a return or refund, no exceptions.  Buyer is responsible for any and all shipping expenses.  Car comes with a free and clear title.

 

If you have any questions about the Jeep feel free to shoot me an e-mail at mattlammel@yahoo.com.  This is usually the best way to reach me.

 

PAYMENT:

 

I require a deposit of $1,000.00 to be paid via Paypal within 24 hours of purchase, no exceptions unless discussed and approved first.  Final payment is due within three (3) calendar days of purchase, no exceptions unless discussed and approved first.  If final payment is not made within three calendar days, then the deposit becomes my property and I retain the rights to re-list the car or sell the car at will.

 

By bidding, and/or making an offer, and/or purchasing the car you are agreeing to the terms above.

 

I have the vehicle listed locally and reserve the right to end this auction at any time.

2015 Jeep Renegade brings the cute

Tue, 04 Mar 2014

The jig is up, the noose is out, we finally found it: the Renegade that Jeep has made, retrieved for a bounty.
Okay, enough of that. Meet the Renegade - Jeep's cute little compact crossover that makes its official debut here at the Geneva Motor Show. We recently brought you a massive Deep Dive into what makes the Renegade tick, and we're now getting our first live look at the tiny Jeep, live from its coming out party in Switzerland.
With the exception of associate editor Jonathon Ramsey, who doesn't know what he's talking about, we at Autoblog are kind of smitten with the little Jeep - it's a really unique package, featuring details that really make it kind of special (notice that jerry can pattern in the taillights, for example). Jeep will offer the Renegade with either a 1.4-liter turbo-four (from the Fiat 500L) or a 2.4-liter naturally aspirated four (from the Dodge Dart), with either a six-speed manual transmission or a nine-speed automatic. There will even be a Trailhawk version with four-wheel drive - properly trail-rated, to boot. The Renegade also features a nifty new My Sky removable roof panel system, giving this little cutie sort of a baby Wrangler feel.

Consumer Reports no longer recommends Honda Civic

Mon, Oct 24 2016

Consumer Reports annual Car Reliability Survey is out, and yes, there are some big surprises. First and foremost? The venerable publication no longer recommends the Honda Civic. In fact, aside from the walking-dead CR-Z and limited-release Clarity fuel-cell car, the Civic is the only Honda to miss out on CR's prestigious nod. At the opposite end there's a surprise as well – Toyota and Lexus remain the most reliable brands on the market, but Buick cracked the top three. That's up from seventh last year, and the first time for an American brand to stand on the Consumer Reports podium. Mazda's entire lineup earned Recommended checks as well. Consumer Reports dinged the Civic for its "infuriating" touch-screen radio, lack of driver lumbar adjustability, the limited selection of cars on dealer lots fitted with Honda's popular Sensing system, and the company's decision to offer LaneWatch instead of a full-tilt blind-spot monitoring system. Its score? A lowly 58. The Civic isn't the only surprise drop from CR's Recommended ranks. The Audi A3, Ford F-150, Subaru WRX/STI, and Volkswagen Jetta, GTI, and Passat all lost the Consumer Reports' checkmark. On the flipside, a number of popular vehicles graduated to the Recommended ranks, including the BMW X5, Chevrolet Camaro, Corvette, and Cruze, Hyundai Santa Fe, Porsche Macan, and Tesla Model S. Perhaps the biggest surprise is the hilariously recall-prone Ford Escape getting a Recommended check Β– considering the popularity of Ford's small crossover, this is likely a coup for the brand, as it puts the Escape on a level playing field with the Recommended Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, and Nissan Rogue. While Ford is probably happy to see CR promote the Escape, the list wasn't as kind for every brand. For example, of the entire Fiat Chrysler Automobiles catalog, the ancient Chrysler 300 was the only car to score a check Β– there wasn't a single Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, Maserati, or Ram on the list. That hurts. FCA isn't alone at the low end, either. GMC, Jaguar Land Rover, Mini, and Mitsubishi don't have a vehicle on CR's list between them, while brands like Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Nissan, Lincoln, Infiniti, and Cadillac only have a few models each.

WWII Jeep 'found in crate' set to cross Greenwich auction block

Thu, 30 May 2013

Fans of old military vehicles might want to pay extra close attention to the Greenwich Concours d'Elegance coming up this weekend. Crossing the Bonhams auction block on Sunday are a pair of seemingly flawless World War II Jeeps, which are both expected to fetch serious dollars.
Lot Number 305 at the auction is a 1945 Ford GPW Jeep that has been fully restored, which is expected to command between $35,000 and $45,000. Shortly after the Ford GPW, a potentially more interesting 1944 Willys MB (shown above) will be auctioned off, but Hemmings raises some red flags about this Jeep. First, it is claiming to have been "discovered in its original crate about 30 years ago," but there is no proof or documentation of any sort. Also, it is claiming to be all original, but it was given a paint job "shortly after it was discovered." Even with these questionable descriptions, this Willys could reach between $20,000 and $30,000. Head over to Bonhams' site and Hemmings for more information on both WW2-era Jeeps.
