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 reports record margins, $7B profits despite chip shortage

Tue, Aug 3 2021

MILAN — Automaker Stellantis on Tuesday said it achieved faster-than-expected progress on synergies and record margins in its first six months as a combined company, despite suffering 700,000 units in lower production due to interruptions in the semiconductor supply chain. The company Â— formed from French carmaker Peugeot PSAÂ’s takeover of the Italian-American company Fiat Chrysler Â— reported net profit of 5.9 billion euros ($7 billion) in the first half of 2021, compared with a loss 813 million euros during the same period a year earlier, which was impacted by the coronavirus restrictions around the globe. Shipments rose 44% to 3.2 million units, while revenues rose 46% to 75 billion euros. Â“We are very pleased with the speed with which the new team has begun to execute as one company, as Stellantis,Â’Â’ Chief Financial Officer Richard Palmer told reporters. Semiconductor shortages accounted for 200,000 units of production losses in the first quarter and 500,000 in the second quarter. Semiconductors are used more than ever before in new vehicles with electronic features such as Bluetooth connectivity and driver assist, navigation and hybrid electric systems. Stellantis achieved 1.3 billion euros in cost savings in the first half, mostly by sharing investments in new technologies and platforms, which Palmer said was a faster rate than initially forecast. It aims to achieve 80% of the targeted 5 billion in cost savings by 2024. Â“These synergies allow us to continue to invest in the electrification strategy, which we talk about every day,Â” Palmer said. Stellantis, which lags competitors in rolling out electric vehicles, plans to launch 21 fully electric or plug-in gas electric hybrid vehicles over the next two years. North American posted record profitability on global sales of Ram trucks and the strong launch of the Jeep Wrangler 4xe, which was the best-selling plug-in gas electric vehicle in the United States in the second quarter. Stellantis was the market leader in South America and second in Europe. The results were presented on a pro-forma basis, taking into account the performance of each of the carmakers as separate entities during 2020.

FCA profits surge in second quarter

Fri, Jul 31 2015

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles gave the cash register a beating in the second quarter, improving its net profit to 333 million euros ($364M US), which is a 263-percent jump over its reported Q1 profit of 92 million euros ($108M US). At the same time, FCA improved its global profit margin to 7.7 percent. Compared year-over-year, in Q2 2014 FCA reported net profit of 197 million euros making this year's Q2 a 69-percent increase, and profit margins a year ago were 4.9 percent. The two big factors for this increase are strong NAFTA sales and Jeep. In the US alone, Jeep sold 222,940 units in Q2 this year, a jump of almost 20 percent over the same period last year. Revenue in the NAFTA region totaled $18.8 billion, adjusted earnings before interest and taxes were $1.45 billion, both of those numbers more than doubling compared to 2014. The vastly better numbers come on marginally more global sales, 1,181,000 units sold in Q2 2014, 1,193,000 units sold in the same span this year. In the US, FCA began charging dealers one-percent more for vehicles to up the margins, a move that helped boost its US margin from 4.1 percent a year ago to 5.8 percent the first half of this year. The company is holding steady on its guidance of global deliveries at 4.8 million and its net profit guidance at $1.1 to $1.3 billion. It has increased its adjusted outlook for the year to $120.5 billion in revenue, and EBIT to "over $4.93 billion."

Federal grand jury issues subpoenas to U.S. FCA dealers

Wed, Jul 27 2016

Despite an attempt to clarify and backtrack, it seems the investigation into Fiat Chrysler Automobile's false sales reporting is picking up steam. According to Automotive News, FCA dealers and regional offices have received subpoenas ordering them to supply documents and testimony to a grand jury in Detroit. Of course, the dealers are objecting to the request. They claim the subpoenas are too broad and would require them to hand over too much personal information, like personal phone numbers of dealer employees going back years. The group wants to make it clear that FCA has clarified its sales reporting and that the issue is with the manufacturer, not dealers. The dealers say that FCA employee records and testimony should be enough. It's rumored that a dealer group is the one that sparked the investigation in the first place. FCA confirmed on July 18 that it indeed was under investigation by a number of federal agencies. Although they've clarified their position regarding sales reporting, the fraud investigation continues full steam. Related Video:
