Why I am Selling
I bought this car in New York after my fiancee wrecked her CRD Grand Cherokee last summer.  We put a lot of miles on it in the first few months, but I had her Jeep rebuilt and back on the road by September.  We garaged this car through winter, and now we don't seem to drive it that much.  We are having a hard time justifying the car payment, so it's time to sell it.  It needs to belong to someone who is going to drive and enjoy it.

Exterior
I would rate the exterior an 8/10.  It has minor scuffs and scratches that come with cars of this age and mileage.  There are two significant scratches of note (see pictures): the first is on the hood at the front edge just right of the striping and is approximately 2"x5", and the second is on the driver's rear view mirror and is approximately 4" long.  I have not tried to work these out.  The car also has some errant wax on the lower trim.  I intended to have it detailed, only to find my detailer has gone out of business.  It could use a good wax and buff to make it really shine.

Interior
I would rate the interior a 9/10.  The leather has some creases forming on the outside bolsters on the driver's seat (common for a car of this age and mileage), but I cannot find a rip or tear in any seat or section of the carpet.  It has been kept clean the entire time it has been with us.  We're in our 30s, we don't smoke, and we don't have kids.

Modifications
There are two aftermarket parts added by the previous owner: a K&N cold air intake and a Mopar T-handle shifter.  All US SRT-8 and R/T Challengers come with a mini air compressor and a fix-a-flat blend for any flat tires because normal spare tires wouldn't clear the massive brakes.  I went and got a hub adapter, 18" spare tire, a jack, and the lug wrenches needed to give this car a legitimate spare tire.  I still have the mini compressor and I believe I have the Styrofoam insert for the spare tire well, and will gladly include these.  I just didn't want the risk of getting stranded with no spare tire.
 
Maintenance
We have only used the Mobil 1 0w40 recommended on the oil cap.  We have changed the oil when it tells us to.  Given the average intervals, it should be due for an oil change any day.  I will be sure to change the oil before it sells so any buyer doesn't have to worry about a change oil message on their way home.  We also replaced the rear tires with Yokohama Parada Spec-Xs a few months ago.  The front tires have about 20% of their tread left and do stick well.  I would guess they have about 4-5,000 miles left.  Replacements to match the rears can be found at Discount Tire.

Accident History
We have not had any incidents in the year that we have owned it.  A title history check shows there is a minor accident or act of vandalism occurring before we owned it, despite still having a clear title.  I cannot speak definitively as it happened in New York to the previous owner, but I cannot find a bad line on the car.  Additionally, there was a large spot of stained clear near the fuel filler when I bought the car.  It completely buffed out, leading me to believe this was an act of vandalism.  Again, I cannot speak definitively, but I encourage you to inspect the car if you can and verify its condition.

Shipping
I love driving across the US.  If you don't and want it delivered for less, we can work out a deal.  I can also pick you up at the airport (ABQ) or work with any auto transport service you hire to move the car.  I am extremely flexible and will do everything I can to help.

Payment
As mentioned before, we have a loan on the car.  HOWEVER, I have arranged alternate financing to get the title released in the event it sells.  I will need 7-10 days to process my funding and get the title released and in hand.  I do not require anything beyond the deposit before the transaction to get the title in-hand and ready to transfer.  Any payments of the balance must come in the form of cash or a certified check.  I have a bank that is available Monday-Saturday, and we can schedule a time to meet there and complete the transaction.

Inspections, Questions, etc.
If you would like to have the car inspected or you have any questions, please let me know.  I am quick to respond to emails, and I will likely load the eBay app on my phone so I can respond even faster during this auction.  Please do not hesitate to ask a question or make an offer.  The worst I can say is no.  Thanks for looking at this ad!

Disclaimers

I have this vehicle for sale on multiple sites.  It is for sale locally, and I reserve the right to cancel the transaction up to 7 days prior.  If any cancellation occurs, full notice will be given and any monies exchanged will be returned.  This is a used vehicle and comes for sale as-is.  There are no warranties expressed or implied with the car.

Is Mopar readying a special-edition Dart for Chicago?

Sat, 26 Jan 2013

Chrysler has released the above teaser of a limited-edition Mopar 2013 model that will be unveiled at next month's Chicago Auto Show. Although the automaker doesn't announce what vehicle will get the Mopar treatment, closer investigation of the seats and center console suggest that this car will be a special version of the 2013 Dodge Dart.
This will be the fourth Mopar model in as many years, following on the heels of the Mopar 2010 Challenger, Mopar 2011 Charger and the Mopar '2012 300. There are no details for the Mopar '13 Dart, but we do see that the car will retain the signature black-and-blue color scheme as past Mopar editions. Like these previous models, we expect production of Mopar '13 Dart to be limited to just 500 units.
Scroll down for Chrysler's press release teasing the new Mopar model, and we'll be sure to bring you plenty of live images from the show floor in a couple weeks.

NHTSA investigating Chrysler for airbags, ignition switches

Wed, 18 Jun 2014

Chrysler is being targeted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in a pair of actions that focus on over 1.2 million Jeeps, minivans and crossovers.
The first is a "preliminary investigation" that focuses on an airbag issue afflicting the Jeep Commander built in model years 2006 and 2007 and Grand Cherokee from 2005 to 2006. In total, 700,000 vehicles could potentially be affected. It's not entirely clear what the airbag issue is, with The Detroit Free Press simply stating that the restraint systems in the affected Jeeps may be "faulty."
The other investigation is what's called a "recall query" and it covers a problem that General Motors should be familiar with. In this case, there could be a problem with the ignition switches of 525,000 vehicles, ranging from 2008 to 2010 Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans, to the 2008 to 2010 Dodge Journey crossover. Again, it's not entirely clear what sort of behavior prompted the 32 complaints that NHTSA has received on these vehicles.

Dodge Journey gets new $24,895* SE V6 AWD model

Wed, 12 Mar 2014

While the Dodge Journey crossover remains largely unchanged for the 2014 model year, there are two new flavors of the seven-passenger CUV on offer: the butch-looking Crossroad, and the SE V6 AWD, pictured right, which makes its debut today. As its name suggests, this new Journey model features the automaker's 3.6-liter Pentastar V6, and offers all-wheel drive, which, with a starting price of $24,895 (*excluding $995 for destination), reduces the cost-of-entry for an AWD-equipped Journey by $1,800 versus the SXT AWD model. Scroll down for the official press blast.
