Up for auction is a very nice 1990 Jeep Grand Wagoneer.    There were only 6,449 Grand Wagoneers produced in the 1990 model year, which was the next to last year of production.   The 1989-1991 model years are considered the best due to improvements that Chrysler made after buying AMC/JEEP in 1987.   

I purchased the Jeep in the spring 2013 and had it shipped from Georgia to New Jersey.   I have invested a lot of money in it and was planning to enjoy it for a long time, but due to a new job and some financial issues, I have decided to sell it.  It has been a lot of fun driving it around town this summer and getting stopped all the time to ask questions about it, everyone loves this Jeep and always says "I haven't seen one of these in a long time!"    I am not a car "flipper" and will certainly not break even on what I have spent.    Here are the details:

  • 112,600 miles
  • Georgia vehicle, I purchased it in spring 2013, it has never seen a northern winter
  • NO RUST - rust is the common enemy of these vehicles
  • Sand Metallic Exterior with Sand interior
  • 360 2V V8, 3 speed automatic transmission
  • 4WD (works)
  • Air Cond (blows ice cold)
  • Power Windows (all work, including rear window using key or dash switch)
  • Power Locks (work)
  • Power Seats (work)
  • Power Steering and Brakes
  • Power mirrors (work)
  • Tilt Wheel
  • Leather Seats
  • Original thick carpet
  • Original floor mats (drivers side shows a lot of wear)
  • Factory ROL fog lights with black "Jeep" covers (very hard to find these now)
  • Haynes Service Manual
  • Original Owner's Manual
  • Cargo cover - not in great shape but works
  • 3 sets of keys
  • Jeep key chain

 Below is a list of the work that has been done on the Jeep in the last few months:

  • Replaced valve cover gaskets
  • Replaced intake manifold gaskets
  • Replaced Transfer Case Seal
  • Replaced Right Rear Axle Shaft Bearing Seal
  • Replaced Power Steering Gear Box
  • Replaced Power Steering Pump and hoses
  • Replaced fog lamp switch
  • Installed new fog lamp bulbs
  • Installed new catalytic convertor (passed tough NJ emissions test)
  • Replaced headlamp switch
  • Replaced right passenger door power door lock actuator
  • Installed new taillight lenses and bulbs
  • Installed new Radiator Cap
  • Oil and filter change
  • New air filter
  • Installed New thermostat
  • Tune-up
  • New Wire set, rotor, distributor cap
  • New wiper blades
  • New window wipes
  • New A/C compressor
  • New heater hose
  • New Pioneer AM/FM HD radio CD player (original radio had already been removed)
  • All four wheels professionally refinished
  • All new seat belts professionally installed by a top interior shop in Northern NJ, including rear shoulder belts purchased from Wagoneer World (I did this so could have a child seat in the back).  This was an option in 1990 but few purchased them!
  • New interior kick plates installed
  • New hood insulation pad

Based on service records, the following work was also done on the Jeep:

  • New Engine  - 110K miles (2006)
  • New Radiator - 110K miles (2006)
  • New fan shroud and gaskets - 110K miles (2006)

The last owner of the Jeep purchased it in 2006 and only drove it about 2,000 miles, as he owns several collector cars including other Grand Wagoneers.   The Jeep starts up well and runs nicely.   The cruise control, rear wiper, and compass/temperature gauge in the overhead console do not work.    Replaced valve cover gaskets and intake manifold gaskets due to oil leaks.     Still leaks a couple of drops, may be rear main seal, a common problem for these Jeeps.  Two mechanics have said it is not a big deal at this time.   The paint is good and still shines, but there are several scratches and nicks and chips, which can be seen in the pictures.   I would have it repainted if I were keeping it, I was quoted $1,800 for a 2-stage repaint by a top auto body shop in Northern NJ that has done quality for me in the past.  The original wood trim is in decent shape, as is the vinyl wood tape, but there are scrapes and scratches.  The bumpers are ok, have a lot of scratches, I would have them refinished if I was keeping the Jeep.  The bumper rubber is all there, has scratches and cuts in it. 

Vehicle is sold as is, where is, without warranty.   Pick up or shipping arrangements are the responsibility of the buyer.   I can hold the Jeep for a couple of weeks after payment, while shipping is arranged, if necessary.  If there is anything else you would like a picture of please email me through eBay.

You are welcome to inspect the vehicle before the auction ends.  It is located in Northern NJ about 1 hour from NYC. Any questions, please email me through eBay and I will be happy to answer.   

$500 non-refundable deposit due via PayPal within 24 hours of auction ending, remaining due via Bank Cashiers/Certified check within 7 days.

I have set a fair reserve based on what these Jeeps are selling for on eBay. I will not disclose the reserve and will not end the auction early.   The Jeep is NOT for sale locally, I intend to sell it on eBay if the reserve is met.   Thank you for looking.

Are future vehicular hacks inevitable?

Wed, Jul 29 2015

Before the hack of the Uconnect system in a Jeep Cherokee resulted in a 1.4-million vehicle recall, the potential software vulnerabilities in vehicles were already a hot topic with Congressional inquiries and even proposed legislation in the US. As cars' interconnected systems gain the ability to go online, they become open to a host of new threats. Automakers are trying to stop this, but it might be too late to put the genie back into the bottle. Throughout 2015, the issue of software security in vehicles has become increasingly vital. For example, the recent Jeep case wasn't even the biggest hack this year. In February, a major flaw was discovered in the BMW Connected Drive service that allowed researchers to remotely lock and unlock the doors and potentially affected 2.2 million cars. The fix was an over-the-air patch for the problem. Automakers are actively working to fix the issues. Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Audi reportedly are using encrypted connections and firewalls in their vehicles to prevent hacking. "Absolute, 100-percent safety isn't possible," Daimler spokesperson Benjamin Oberkersch said to Automotive News Europe. "But we develop our systems, tested by internal and external experts, so they're up to date." These vulnerabilities seem to be popping up more often. A successful hack took $14 in parts from Radio Shack in one case. There was also a 60 Minutes report earlier in the year about DARPA's ability to hack into OnStar to take control of a Chevrolet Impala. Experts aren't so sure companies can contend with hackers' advancement. "The difficulty for the carmakers at the moment is the question whether they can keep pace with advances in technology, and especially hacking technology," Rainer Scholz, executive director for telematics consultant EY, said to Automotive News Europe. "We seriously doubt they can." At this point, vehicle hacks are coming more from researchers looking for holes than from those with malicious intent. Still, the vulnerabilities are definitely there. It's up to automakers to keep patching the problems before they become dangerous to drivers.

New spy photos of the next Jeep Wrangler reveal a backup camera

Fri, Feb 24 2017

The new Jeep Wrangler JL is on the way, and we have new spy photos that give us our best look yet. The few vehicles seen in these photos all appear to be the four-door Wrangler Unlimited model, but we know the two-door and pick-up versions are coming as well. No word on when the new model, code-named JL, will debut, but don't expect to wait too much longer before Jeep finally finishes pulling off the wraps. While the Wrangler still is covered in test car camouflage, the "diaper" coverings have been removed from the side. But we still can't tell how the new removable roof and side panels will fit. One new nugget that we can spot is the spare-mounted backup camera. At least the Wrangler is keeping its rear-mounted spare. The overall shape hasn't changed much, but there would be pitchforks and fire in Toledo if Jeep strayed too far from the current design. Like the Porsche 911, the Wrangler's general design is permanently etched in stone. The grille is exposed on a few shots showing the new back-canted seven-slot setup that recalls the YJ generation of Wranglers. The windshield on the new model now appears to be fixed and tilted at more of an angle. Like we said, small changes.

Sunday Drive: Variety is the spice of life

Sun, Nov 12 2017

If there's any one new vehicle the entire world is anxiously waiting for, it's the Jeep Wrangler. Yes, of course the iconic off-roader has a loyal following here in America, but you could plop a Wrangler pretty much anywhere on the globe and everybody will know what it is. Put simply, the redesigned 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL has big, muddy shoes to fill, and the readers of Autoblog are just as interested in the Wrangler's rebirth as anyone else. Moving along, we were fortunate enough last week to spend a bit of time in nearly every version of the venerable Volkswagen Golf all in one day. There isn't a Golf we don't like, but there's one, easily identifiable by its three-digit name, that stands above all the rest: GTI. We think it's the best Golf you can buy, even if there's an R-badged variant that slots above the GTI in VW hierarchy. Rounding out our recap are three vehicles that could hardly be more different. The 2019 GMC Sierra, which was seen wearing pretty light camouflage, is a truck. The Lamborghini Terzo Millennio – which isn't going to go on sale, ever, at any price – is a conceptual supercar. And the Honda CB1000R is a retro-themed naked standard motorcycle. Variety really is the spice of life. 2018 Jeep Wrangler spy shot mega gallery Driving nearly every VW Golf: Base, GTI, R, Alltrack — here's what we learned 2019 GMC Sierra spied sporting just a thin wrapping The Lamborghini Terzo Millennio is a brutally fantastic EV supercar concept Honda unveils 2 new motorcycles, including retro-flavored CB1000R Image Credit: Brian Williams GMC Honda Jeep Lamborghini Volkswagen Technology Truck Convertible Crossover Hatchback SUV Performance sunday drive vw golf gti lamborghini terzo millennio
