1988 Jeep Wrangler Yj on 2040-cars

Year:1988 Mileage:131999
Location:

1988 Jeep yj wrangler    4cylinder that is great on gas  engine does not smoke or use oil.   5 speed transmission     driven almost daily  but should get some all around TLC.  body not bad for being an 88.    frame is in good shape, had rust issue at passenger side rear shackle (very common on jeeps, so common they sell a repair section to fix it, which was already done by a professional welding shop last fall)     31" tires factory jeep aluminum wheels    4x4 works but needs u-joints  I never use the 4x4 aside from getting up the driveway in the snow.  although I do drive this year round I don't drive it in the snow I have other vehicles for snow. this is more a summer cruiser for me.  in spring the top goes down and usually doesn't go back up till fall   just a fun little buggy to bounce around in topless in the summer.   

Driver seat is in tuff shape,  e brake pedal doesn't work ,   drives fine in 2wd but in 4wd you can tell it needs u-joints,  speedo doesn't work so true mileage is unknown and was when I bought it as well.   some of the recent items I did include   frame repaired, steering column bushings, tail lights  black soft top (not the gray one pictured), black 1/2 door uppers, new starter, new battery, tailpipe,  glass pack muffler (loud, maybe too loud for some)  brake line,  leather steering wheel (used)   This is an old style jeep, it is not like the new ones at all. nor does it ride like a new one, more like driving a go cart .   this is a good jeep for some one that wants to invest some time into it,One nice thing is the availability of parts new and used is no only endless but also the most affordable vehicle to buy parts for ive ever had.  for me its just a little run-a-round buggy. I have too many other projects  and not enough time or room to dedicate to this jeep.   

Come check it out in person   I will post more pictures on Tuesday.  if it sells an immediate deposit of $200.00 will be required threw paypal with the balance due within 7 days. if the deposit is not received within the first 36 hours or the jeep not paid in full by the 7 day period it will be considered a "dead deal" and deposit will not be refunded.  so if you bid please make sure you have the means to complete the deal.  once the jeep is paid for in full if you need to leave it here waiting for transporter or if you cant get here right away to pick it up  I can store it here no problem, just let me know what you need.  ****please be aware  the state of Rhode Island will NOT issue a title for vehicles this old so it will be sold on a bill of sale and a copy of my current registration.  that should be all you need to register it in other states.

Stellantis to offer electric versions of most of its European lineup by 2025

Thu, Apr 15 2021

Newly merged automaker conglomerate Stellantis will offer electric versions of almost all of its European lineup by 2025, it said on Thursday, as the auto industry faces regulatory pushes in Europe and China to accelerate the shift to zero-emission cars. Formed in January by the merger of France's PSA and Italian-American group Fiat Chrysler, Stellantis is the world’s fourth largest carmaker with 14 brands including Opel, Jeep, Ram and Maserati, and like its peers faces an investor community keen for a road map to an electric lineup to rival Tesla . Speaking during Stellantis' first annual shareholders meeting, Chief Executive Carlos Tavares said that in 2021 the carmaker expects sales of electrified vehicles — that is, both plug-in hybrids and fully electric models — to more than triple to over 400,000 units in 2021. By 2025, electrified vehicles should make up 38% of European sales, a huge jump from the 14% of sales it expects in 2021. Tavares said by 2030 electric models should make up 70% of European sales and 35% of U.S. sales. He said Stellantis will use four electric platforms for passenger vehicles across its 14-brand empire — small, medium and large sizes for cars, and "frame" for high-margin SUVs and pickup trucks. Sweden's Volvo said this month its lineup would be fully electric by 2030, and Ford Motor Co said in February its lineup in Europe would be too. BMW has said at least 50% of its car sales should be fully-electric models by 2030. Sales of electric and plug-in hybrid cars in the European Union almost trebled to over 1 million vehicles last year, accounting for more than 10% of overall sales.

2014 Jeep Compass/Patriot sing their swan songs with a six-speed automatic

Tue, 15 Jan 2013

Unless the governor, Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne, gives them a reprieve, the 2014 Jeep Compass and Patriot are expected to meet their makers sometime next year. Should they perish, it's a shame that it would happen just as they've shed the continuously variable transmission that was their major bugbear, and just as the Compass has gotten its best looks yet.
Both will roll with a proper six-speed automatic transmission, courtesy of PowerTech. Noise-resistant gears and tuning by Chrysler boffins should alleviate the unappealing sounds that were given off by the older CVT. Unless, that is, you choose to have either model equipped with Freedom Drive II; the serious off-road package, available on both baby Jeeps, will still come with the CVT. The base transmission on the entry-level Sport trim remains the five-speed manual.
Otherwise, it's minor changes for the Compass, set off by the new 18-inch wheel option, trim pieces around the car and a back-up camera. The Patriot gets seat-mounted airbags, but is carryover otherwise. With their expected demises perhaps a year away, not much has changed otherwise. Engine choices comprise the 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 158 horsepower and 141 pound-feet of torque or the 2.4-liter four-cylinder with 172 hp and 165 lb-ft.
