1989 Jeep Grand Wagoneer

68,076 Original Miles

 

VERY low mileage 1989 Jeep Grand Wagoneer, garaged in Memphis, Tennessee.  I purchased this Jeep in February 2010 as a fun weekend car because I always liked their style and have put less than 2,000 miles on it in 4+ years.  I have kept it always in my garage and it has not seen a raindrop in those 4 and a half years.  My wife and I just had a baby and that is causing me to sell for some extra cash.

 

Pros: This Jeep is a very desirable color combination – the Baltic Blue with Sand interior.  Cosmetically the paint and woodgrain are very clean – although I have included one picture of a ding on the woodgrain where I have held a key up for a size reference.  Interior is in good shape and original, although the headliner was replaced before I purchased the vehicle.  The car starts easily and drives well – great for cruising around town.  I always got a lot of honks and waves in this car, as for some reason it seems to make people happy to see one that looks nice.  Until a year or two ago Memphis had emissions testing and this vehicle passed our emissions standards – no small feat for an AM 360 engine of this age.  Also the rear window rolls up and down – this motor they often say is one of the first things to go.

 

Cons:  I am not really a car guy so I can only tell you what I know to be wrong with the vehicle, and I will be honest.  The fuel gauge always shows full – the most likely cause is the fuel tank sending unit has gone bad.  This is not a bad change as I read you can access the top of the fuel tank from under the rear bench seats, and the sending unit retails for about $55.  The front driver side tire has a slow leak and is missing the “Jeep” center cap on the wheel (these come up on ebay all the time).  The AC blows but does not blow cold – may have a freon leak.  The heater works great.  The emergency break does not completely keep the car from rolling when it is in gear – I think it may need to be tightened.  The radio doesn’t work but I think the fuse blew – I am going to replace the fuse this week and if that fixes the problem I will update the listing.  Also the power door locks only lock/unlock a couple of the doors.

 

I have had some work done on this car.  Shortly after purchase in 2010 I had new plugs, wires, distributor cap, ignition rotor, a few hoses, and fuel filter replaced as well as a carb rebuild.  I also had a catalytic converter, muffler, tail pipe and hanger installed so that it would pass emissions testing.  I also had new front and rear shocks and steering damper installed.  I have receipts for all of the above.

 

All in all this is not a fully restored or show quality car that you often see on ebay, but I am not seeking fully restored prices either.  However this is a great opportunity to get into a low mileage Grand Wagoneer that looks great as it drives by, and if you are handy you can put some time into this car and really have something special.  The miles don't lie, and 68k Grand Wagoneers don't come up for sale often in the price range I am looking for.

 

I have listed what I know is wrong with the car but that does not constitute a warranty that there may not be other things that I do not know about.  The car is still being sold “as-is” with no warranties (expressed or implied, written or oral).  I will not provide a return or refund, no exceptions.  Buyer is responsible for any and all shipping expenses.  Car comes with a free and clear title.

 

If you have any questions about the Jeep feel free to shoot me an e-mail at mattlammel@yahoo.com.  This is usually the best way to reach me.

 

PAYMENT:

 

I require a deposit of $1,000.00 to be paid via Paypal within 24 hours of purchase, no exceptions unless discussed and approved first.  Final payment is due within three (3) calendar days of purchase, no exceptions unless discussed and approved first.  If final payment is not made within three calendar days, then the deposit becomes my property and I retain the rights to re-list the car or sell the car at will.

 

By bidding, and/or making an offer, and/or purchasing the car you are agreeing to the terms above.

 

I have the vehicle listed locally and reserve the right to end this auction at any time.

2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

Jeep's Super 'Ute Is Fun Thrown In The Face Of Conventional Wisdom
Let's talk asses for a moment. What do they have to do with the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT, you ask?
Well, we're here to tell you that this SRT can haul some. Lots of them, as a matter of fact: Jeep has increased the towing capacity of its most powerful SUV to 7,200 pounds. Assuming the average donkey weighs about 400 pounds, the Grand Cherokee SRT can haul ass to the tune of 18 burros, give or take a covered trailer or so, which is significantly more than it could in previous years. In 2013, the machine could manage 5,000 pounds, while the first generation was rated at just 3,500. The increase is mostly attributable to a new eight-speed automatic transmission and beefier rear axle, and it's a welcome update for those who'd like to use their SUV as, well, an SUV with an emphasis on utility.

Alfa Romeo will gain a Jeep Compass-based SUV

Fri, Nov 30 2018

It was reported earlier this week that FCA would invest into its Italian factories to ramp up production at currently underutilized locations. Those plans have now been clarified with official information from FCA, as reported by Automotive News. The entire investment is worth $5.7 billion. First of all, Alfa Romeo will gain a new compact SUV based on the Jeep Compass architecture. The still-unnamed model will be available as a plug-in hybrid, and it will be built in Pomigliano, Italy. No U.S. availability has yet been announced, but it would not be odd to see the Compass-based model sold below the Stelvio in the States. The last time Alfa Romeo had anything similar in its model portfolio was when it offered Crosswagon-badged four-wheel-drive versions of the 156 and 159 wagons. As for the Jeep Compass itself, it will begin to be built at the Melfi plant in Italy. The rumored small "baby" Jeep slotting under the Renegade has not yet been officially mentioned. Fiat will introduce a battery electric 500, built in Turin, and the Pomigliano plant that will make the compact Alfa Romeo SUV will also be used to build a mild hybrid version of the Panda city car. The 500X will gain a PHEV variant. The Stelvio platform will also spawn a corresponding SUV for Maserati, and FCA also mentioned Maserati will introduce a new, unnamed model it will make in Modena. Automotive News quotes Italian press as saying this will be the Alfieri coupe and convertible, also offered as battery electric versions. Related Video:

2014 Jeep Cherokee facing production delay

Fri, 17 May 2013

Jeep's bold-faced new direction spearheaded by the 2014 Cherokee is facing some teething issues. According to a report by the Detroit Free Press, production start-up of the controversial new utility vehicle at its Toledo North facility is running about a month behind schedule "due to a wide range of issues." That's according to Mark Chernoby, senior vice president of engineering at Chrysler.
Chernoby maintains that the issues being encountered aren't unusual for the launch of a new vehicle - particularly one with a new powertrain - and he downplayed the delay, telling Jeep dealers that they "will have ample inventory of the midsize SUV by fall." Among the kinks being worked out? Calibrating the Cherokee's cutting-edge ZF nine-speed automatic transmission and refining assembly line tasks to make the process more efficient.
Chrysler expects to start building retail-ready versions of the Cherokee around mid-June, with official sales slated to start in September.
