You are looking at a 2011 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon, VIN# 1J4HA6H1XBL547479. I am the original owner, bought and purchased on my birthday, July 30th 2011.

This is the history; I bought this beautiful Jeep July 30th 2011 at Charlie’s Jeep, in Augusta, Maine. When I purchased it, I intended to take it with me, when my work transferred me to the Bahamas. Well, my work DIDN’T transfer me to the Bahamas, but instead, to a remote island in the South Pacific Ocean. So, shortly after I bought this beauty, I was transferred out of the United States and could not take the Jeep with me; it had about 9000 miles on it when I left Maine. I left the Jeep with my elderly parents, Dad (72), Mom (63) and allowed them to maintain it and drive it for me, so it wouldn’t just sit.

Before I left it, I added a Jeep fuel gas tank cover, Jeep bug and stone deflector, Jeep step protectors, and Weathertech floor liners throughout. My dad maintained the vehicle while I was away, and when I came home to visit I drove it. The windshield cracked in the first winter in Maine, 2011 to 2012. My dad put in the same OEM windshield as a replacement, and then the next winter, the new windshield got a chip, which I had repaired. This last winter, 2013 to 2014, my mom got caught in some slush and ice and ended up off the roadway with the Jeep, at slow speed into an icy snow embankment. That caused some scratches on the front bumper, and some small warping of the front bumper (see pictures). Other than the bumper, there was no damage to the Jeep.

New tires were added at about 43,000 miles, Hankook Dynapro AT m’s which were recently rotated. The spare is a Firestone Destination AT, which is what I thought I originally wanted for all the tires, but changed my mind after I purchased one tire, hence the only Firestone on the Jeep is the spare. The Jeep has been serviced regularly every 5000 to 6500 miles with synthetic oil, which includes needed maintenance, such as air filters, fluids, etc. Last maintenance service, the tech informed me the rear differential is getting a bit dirty, but didn’t need changing yet, just something to keep an eye on….

The Jeep is fully loaded, hence the Rubicon, with options that include:

·        Navigation, MP3, CD, 7 Speaker Infinity Sound, 6.5 inch touch-screen

·        115 v power outlet

·        Heated Seats

·        Freedom 3 piece hard top

·        Trailer tow Class II hitch

·        Fuel, differential, transmission skid plates

·        Bluetooth

·        Hands free talk

·        Hard top and soft top

·        Front and rear differential lockers

·        Sway bar disconnects

·        4:10 gears

·        Sirius radio

·        Downhill assist

·        Leather

·        Remote start

·        Dana 44 front and rear axles

·        Rock Rails

·        There are a few more extras, not listed, but the entire package with options brings the MSRP for the Jeep to 39,445. (See Picture) I do have the soft top, which has never been put on the Jeep, however, I DO NOT HAVE THE SIDE AND BACK PLASTIC WINDOW. Those are located with my personal effects, which are still in transit from the island. If you pay shipping, I will send the plastic windows to you via mail if they are not in Montana by the time you pick up the Jeep.

As you can see it has it all, and I have included a picture of the original window sticker listing options, so you can view in more detail.

The Jeep has been cleaned inside and out, and is ready to go. You can see by the pictures, it has some scratches and scuffs from normal wear and tear, most notably the bumper from the snow embankment and driver side entry where my father would catch his foot getting in the Jeep because it was a bit tough for him, so the paint is scuffed. The Jeep has been down some light trails for fishing, but nothing serious. My parents are NOT off roaders! The floor mats have some dirt stains from being in Maine during the winters in the salt, sand and mud. Those stains are not from anything serious!

Even though the Jeep is a “No Reserve”, I still owe some money on it. However, the amount I owe is very far less than the worth, so it is not an issue.

Payment and Terms: When you win the bids, you must send me a non-refundable 500 dollar deposit within 48 hours of auction close. This will ensure you complete the Ebay contracted binding sale, which will be applied to the cost of the Jeep. If you fail to make arrangements with me for final payment, the 500 dollar deposit will NOT be refunded to cover the contract breach, so I can re-post the Jeep again and Ebay will be notified. All paperwork will be routed to you through express mail, and you can expect final title about 2 weeks after final payment is completed. However, if you want to pick up the Jeep before the title is released; I will be more than happy to put a transit tag on the Jeep to any destination you desire.

Shipping: I do not ship, that will be the buyer’s responsibility, however, I will pick you up at the closest airport, free of charge with your new Jeep, (Kalispell, MT). If you wish to ship the Jeep, I will work with any shipper you send to pick up the vehicle with advance notice and release of responsibility.

Be advised, the Jeep is still a regular driver, so the mileage is a little bit more then shown, approximately 55, 300 now. When the auction completes, the Jeep will NOT be driven anymore!

If you have any questions, concerns, please email me, and I will get back to you as quickly as I can.

THE JEEP IS ALSO LISTED FOR SALE LOCALLY, SO I DO RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END THE AUCTION EARLY!!!! Please do not ask me how much I owe, or what is my asking price on Ebay, but I will consider any reasonable offers.

 

Thank you for reading and Happy Bidding!

FCA UConnect fiasco could set over-the-air updates back years

Fri, Feb 16 2018

Since cars have become more software dependent, most major automakers have been inching toward enabling over-the-air updates to keep vehicle electronics, ranging from infotainment systems to safety features, current. But there are only two car companies — Fiat Chrysler and Ford —± currently doing OTA updates, and on a limited basis. GM CEO Mary Barra announced last summer that the automaker will launch a new EV architecture and infotainment system capable of over-the-air updates "before 2020." The one exception, per usual, is Tesla. Since the release of the Model S almost six years ago, the maverick EV automaker has made routine OTA software updates a core part of its vehicle platforms and value proposition, and has sent out updates for everything from adjusting ride height to enabling Autopilot, largely without incident. When I've asked automakers why they can't do the same thing, I've heard reasons ranging from running afoul of their dealers (and archiac regulation) to security concerns. Automakers like Ford and General Motors say they want to act like tech companies, which routinely send out OTA updates for a wide range of devices, but overall the car industry still moves at a very cautious snail's pace. And when automakers do try to move faster and take more risks — unlike with a smartphone update, which people bitch about but live with — the consequences can be significant when things go wrong. That's the case with Fiat Chrysler America and its recent public-relations nightmare when an OTA update went awry. The update went out at the end of last week for the Uconnect system in late-model vehicles, and it made head units go into a near continuous reboot, which caused owners to not only lose access to entertainment features, but also critical functions like emergency assistance. Almost immediately, owners took to Twitter to express outrage, and FCA was caught flatfooted. A tweet went out on Monday on the UconnectCares Twitter account that read, "Certain 2017 & 2018 Uconnect systems may experience a reboot every 45-60 seconds. Our Engineering teams are investigating the cause and working towards a resolution.

Jeep Grand Wagoneer could top out at $130,000

Thu, Oct 6 2016

Jeep's image presents a blue-collar, American brand that builds SUVs for Average Joe drivers, nevermind the thousands of $40,000 Wrangler Unlimited that sell every year. But a revived Grand Wagoneer could push Jeep prices into a whole new realm. Eventually. Speaking to AutoExpress, Jeep boss Mike Manley confirmed "the Grand Wagoneer concept is moving forward," and that its price could reach levels previously unheard of from the brand. "I don't think there's a maximum price ceiling per se for Jeep. If you look at the upper end of the segment in the US, for me, the Grand Wagoneer done well can compete all the way through this segment," Manley told AE. "I'll use US dollars, but pushing the car up to $130,000 to $140,000 may be possible, but we need to establish Grand Wagoneer in its own right first. That's why I wouldn't say there's price ceiling." That's about twice as much as Jeep's current most-expensive model, the $66,690 Grand Cherokee SRT. Hell, it's more than a Dodge Viper ACR, and is roughly on par with a base Maserati GranTurismo. But while getting wrapped up in the idea of a six-figure Jeep is easy, Manley's argument that his brand needs to establish the new model first is more important. It absolutely does not sound like Jeep will introduce the reborn Grand Wagoneer with a trim near $130,000. Instead, we bet the new flagship model will kick off between $50,000 and $60,000, right near the top of where the brand currently plays. That lets Jeep undercut entry level versions of the BMW X5, Mercedes-Benz GLS, and GMC Yukon Denali without giving brand loyalists sticker shock. After establishing the Grand Wagoneer, to use Manley's parlance, Jeep can afford to push higher and challenge the base level Range Rover, which starts around $85,000. Only after that can we expect Manley's hypothesizing to come true. So yeah, while a $130,000 Jeep sounds like a possibility, we wouldn't expect it for at least a few model years after the Grand Wagoneer's big debut. Related Video:

Jeep recalling 75,000 Cherokees over air-conditioning lines

Tue, Oct 27 2015

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles has issued a recall for an estimated 75,364 examples of the Jeep Cherokee in the United States. The problem stems from an air-conditioning line, which may have been installed to close to the exhaust manifold. "Under certain operating conditions," says FCA in the statement below, "this may pose a fire risk." Thus far, however, the company says it is "unaware of any related injuries or accidents." The owners of those 75k Jeeps (as well as another 18,000+ in other markets) can expect to hear from their local dealers to have the problem rectified. However the manufacturer also advises owners to watch out for indicators like air-conditioning loss or a dashboard warning light and contact their dealers if necessary. Related Video: Statement: Air-conditioning System October 27, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is voluntarily recalling an estimated 75,364 U.S.-market SUVs to inspect and replace, as required, their air-conditioning lines, as required. FCA US launched an investigation after the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration received two customer complaints involving smoke and fire. The Company discovered air-conditioning lines on some vehicles may have been installed in close proximity to their engines' exhaust manifolds; under certain operating conditions, this may pose a fire risk. FCA US is unaware of any related injuries or accidents. The recall is limited to certain 2015 Jeep Cherokees. Additional vehicles are affected in other markets. They include an estimated 7,571 in Canada; 4,018 in Mexico; and 6,942 outside the outside the NAFTA region. Affected customers will be advised when they may schedule service, which FCA US will provide free of charge. . Customers who observe air-conditioning loss or any other concern, such as a dashboard warning light, should contact their dealers. Customers with additional questions may call the FCA US Customer Information Center at 1-800-853-1403.
