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.

Best cars for snow and ice in 2023 and 2024

Tue, Jan 23 2024

What's the best car for snow? The real answer is "the one with winter tires." What do we mean by that? You could have the finest, most advanced all-wheel-drive system or four-wheel drive in the world, but if you're running all-seasons (the spork of tires), your fancy four-wheeler won't matter much. The odds are, any vehicle on the road running good winter tires will probably perform adequately in slippery, slushy and/or snowy road conditions. (Here's a more complete explanation of why winter tires are totally worth it). In other words, you don't really need any of the cars on this list. With a set of winter tires, countless others will do the job, and even these will be at their best with proper rubber. You can find a variety of winter tires for your car here at Tire Rack. Keep in mind that you will need a full set of four snow tires for safety and performance, no matter what you're driving. The days of your dad putting just two snows on the family truckster to get it moving in a straight line are long gone. Don't get us wrong, getting a car that performs well in snow and ice is still a worthy criteria for car buyers. According to the U.S. Transportation Department, 70% of Americans live in places that get snow and ice. And much of the country has been blasted with arctic air for much of the new year. So let's look at the cars. First, we're highlighting choices for a variety of buyers and price points. Second, we're not just considering snow; we're considering general wintery conditions people will experience driving to work or school. As such, these are all choices with advanced all-wheel-drive systems, usually with "torque-vectoring" systems that not only automatically shunt power front and back, but side to side between the rear axles. Most have extra ground clearance for getting through deep snow, and we prefer those vehicles with more responsive steering, throttles and transmissions that provide a greater sense of vehicle control in slippery conditions.    Acura RDX Read our Acura RDX Review Acura's Super-Handling All-Wheel Drive system was one of the first to offer torque-vectoring, and besides often being touted for its ability to greatly enhanced dry-road handling, its benefits in the slick stuff can be profound. It's actually surprising that Acura hasn't leaned into this capability further by offering more rugged versions of its vehicles.

Daily Driver: Long-Term 2014 Jeep Cherokee

Tue, Mar 10 2015

As a fan of the boxy Jeep styling of old, I was disappointed when photos first leaked of Jeep's revived Cherokee in early 2013. Then the midsize crossover arrived in Autoblog's longterm garage in May of 2014 and my opinion did a 180. I was prompted to rethink the exterior design of the vehicle after reading our reviewer's interview with head Jeep designer Mark Allen. "The previous, blocky Cherokee was so aerodynamically inefficient, it would be wrong to do it," Allen told Autoblog's Jonathon Ramsey. That made sense. After all, Jeep is a brand associated with the outdoors, so its only natural that they seek to produce efficient, yet capable vehicles. It was then I began reconsidering the sleek lines of the new Cherokee. What once seemed bland and rounded now appeared streamlined and purpose-built. I also give Jeep credit for the slim headlamp silhouette, which look like no other SUV on the market – a far cry from the distinct circular lamps on Wranglers or squared headlights of past XJs. As I drove our long-term Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk on a few road trips, my affinity for the vehicle's comfortable interior grew as well. The seats held up to a nine-hour trek to Montreal, and the Chrysler Uconnect system made navigating the roads and the radio a breeze. Above you'll hear my early impressions of the Cherokee, and below you'll find a previous long-term update featuring Autoblog's Steven Ewing and Chris McGraw. UPDATE: The video mistakingly indicates that the Jeep Cherokee features LED headlights. The Jeep Cherokee, in fact, has daytime running lamps with LED accent lighting. Related Video:

Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk undisguised with Hellcat power

Tue, Jul 5 2016

Superchargers make everything better. Mount one to the top of a 6.2L Hemi V8 and pack it under the hood of a Jeep Grand Cherokee and you have a recipe for a completely bonkers, wholly unnecessary, and totally sweet SUV. We've known for a while that the so-called Trackhawk, essentially a Hellcat Jeep, is on its way. We now have photos of a completely undisguised test vehicle on public Michigan roads trying to make its way to SRT headquarters. Jeep already makes an SRT version of the Grand Cherokee. That version only puts out a measly 475 hp and 470 pound-feet of torque from a 6.4L Hemi. After developing a couple of 707-hp Dodges, SRT felt that Jeep needed some of that Hellcat love too. In the photos, we can see that, aside from the front fascia, the Trackhawk will look fairly similar to the standard SRT Grand Cherokee. The front retains the requisite Jeep grille, though it's been narrowed a bit to make room for larger air intakes below. The Hellcat engine creates a lot of heat, so designers needed to make sure the beast has plenty of room to breathe. New LED fog lights have been integrated into lower air ducts. We still don't know many of the Trackhawk's finer details, like the exact price or release date. We do know that Jeep claims a 3.5-second 0-60 time, making it both the quickest-accelerating Hellcat-powered vehicle and one of the quickest-accelerating vehicles in the world. For comparison, BMW claims the X5 M will do 0-60 in 4 seconds flat. Related Video: Featured Gallery Grand Cherokee Trackhawk View 9 Photos Spy Photos Jeep SUV
