1989-1991's are clearly the best. Please read the following (and more on mine below)...
"The 1987-1991 model years "are considered the best of the breed" due to a number of upgrades. These include upgraded wood siding and modernized aluminum wheels that lost their gold colored inlays in favor of gunmetal grey metallic. All exterior colors were now applied in a two stage base/clearcoat system.
Finally, a number of further improvements were made for the 1989-1991 model year series including a quality replacement for the earlier, leak-prone air conditioning compressor, the addition of the visually identifiable rear wiper assembly, as well as a general improvement in fit and finish. An interior overhead console, taken from Chrysler's popular minivans, was also added. This functional console featured much brighter map lights, an outside temperature sensor and compass, and an infrared remote-controlled key-less entry system.
The last model years also featured new paint colors. These "new" colors included the rare Hunter Green metallic that was only available in the 1991 model year and is the paint color of the 91 Grand Wagoneer in the Chrysler museum, as well as the color of the very last Grand Wagoneer ever made, which was a significant part of the historic collection at the National Automobile museum."
And here we go...
This one is a beautiful, fastidiously maintained, stock and original, rust-free, mechanically and cosmetically excellent, freeway-driven, Southern California (1989-2010) 1989 Jeep Grand Wagoneer. It's the most desirable version of the longest production run automobile ever built in the United States (1963-1991). I'm selling it for a Waggy enthusiast acquaintance of mine (I'm the Ebay go-to guy among my circle of friends). He bought it for his wife in early 2010 and brought it to the dry, desert climate of St. George, Utah (about 100 miles north of Las Vegas). His plan was to keep it forever. Alas, plans change so he asked me to sell it for him.
It runs and drives quite perfectly by my standards. And I'm a hard-core car guy (who has owned Lexus, Cadillac and Range Rover SUV's among many others) who finds it hard to believe a vintage platform like this could be engineered to be so civilized. It's very comfortable and easy to drive in town and on the freeway (not too big and not too small). She's very tight and handles bumps and turns very well. I wouldn't hesitate to go on a cross-country road-trip today.
Please look at the pictures carefully and ask me to send you the almost 200 I have on my computer. They tell a story about every nook and cranny on this exceptional Southern California beauty much better than I ever could. The TLC this one has received in it's almost quarter century and wonderfully original, well-preserved nature will be more than evident.
Below are all the need/want-to-know's...
Zero Accident or Damage History
Always Garage Kept
New Alternator
New Radiator
New Battery
Goodyear Wrangler Tires with less than 5000 Miles
Cold Air Conditioning Already Converted to R134A
Runs Very Cool in 100 Plus Degree Weather with AC on
Still has the Retractable Cargo Cover
Everything Works Except Speedo/Odo (apparently a $20 part; it failed in April 2012) and Driver Side Electric Mirror Switch
It has also been intelligently upgraded (easily reversible) in several areas to improve driveability/reliability/appearance...
JVC Stereo with IPod Attachment Wired Through Glovebox (and it still even has all 4 original Accusound by JENSEN speakers!)
Holley Electric Fuel Pump
JEGS Dual Electric Fans with 2600CFM and Manual Switch
Manual 4WD Selector in place of troublesome vacuum-operated unit
Older, High-Quality Respray in Original Burgundy Metallic
These are the ONLY deviations from stock and enhance its utility as a reliable, practical, daily driver.
This is an impressive example of modern-day, classic, Detroit Iron. The pictures, condition (both cosmetically and mechanically), and lineage are that of a vehicle with much less than half the miles. And that's how freeway miles are; studies have shown they are virtually wear-free. They are certainly better from a usability standpoint than allowing a car to sit and languish for years, undriven. Personally, I like to drive automobiles that are actually appreciating in value. You may want to check out www.wagonmaster.com to see what the high-end of the Grand Wagoneer market looks like. Hard to believe they sell for $40K plus.
My name is Chris and I would be delighted to answer any and all your questions. Please call me at 435-669-1470. Plus, send me your non-Ebay email address so I can send you all my pics. They tell a great story. Again, I am located in the dry, desert community of St. George, Utah (about 100 miles north of Las Vegas). You may want to consider flying in and driving home. I would be happy to help facilitate that. Thank you very much for your interest.

Jeep going bigger with new Grand Wagoneer, smaller with sub-Renegade?
Tue, 11 Mar 2014The headlines are still rolling in for the new Renegade that Jeep unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show last week, but already reports are surfacing, citing sources within the company, about what Chrysler's iconic off-road brand will do next.
Speaking with Auto Express (whose reports we tend to take with a grain of salt or two), Jeep chief Mike Manley suggested that two courses of action are currently under consideration at Auburn Hills to develop two very different new models - one smaller and one larger than anything Jeep currently makes.
One plan would be to make an SUV or crossover even smaller than the new Renegade, although it isn't immediately clear what platform it would take. The Renegade (pictured above in Trailhawk spec) will be built in Italy alongside Fiat's upcoming 500X, but uses a heavily modified platform. We figure the smaller model, if approved, could base itself on the new Fiat Panda Cross.
Weekly Recap: Jaguar takes a leap with price cut, new strategy
Sat, Sep 5 2015Jaguar was one of the famous automotive props and plotlines in the now-iconic drama Mad Men. There's a scene where the show's protagonist, Don Draper, deftly undercuts an influential Jaguar dealer by indicating that get-me-in-the-door local radio spots would be an effective way to sell cars like the slinky E-Type. The British executives think this is folly – Draper knows they will – and his advertising strategy wins out over the dealer's approach to move the metal. Jaguar's not doing that, but half a century later in the real world the company is launching plans to make its cars more attainable to new and younger customers like Millenials. These aren't coupons, but this is a leap for Jaguar, which has long banked on sexy styling and its rich motorsports history to overshadow its past mechanical flaws. Put simply, Jaguar is addressing the reasons why people, especially the younger set, don't buy its cars. The 2017 XE will start at $35,895 when it launches next spring – which makes it an attractive buy for a successful, relatively young person. When it's time to move up, the redesigned XF will be more attainable, coming in at $52,895, which is $5,275 less than the 2015 model. The flagship XJ sedan and the enthusiast-oriented F-Type sports car will also get thousands of dollars worth of added standard features, and Jag is actively pitching them as a better value than their competitors. "The Jaguar brand is on the eve of a major transformation that will see it dramatically increase its presence in the United States luxury marketplace with an expanded lineup, pricing focused on the core of the luxury market, and an all-new ownership package with best-in-class coverage," Joe Eberhardt, CEO of Jaguar Land Rover North America, said in a statement. The brand's quality and reliability dings have also lurked in the back of buyers' minds for decades, though that's an outdated notion. Jaguar placed third in J.D. Power's Initial Quality Study in June and was the top-ranked luxury brand in J.D. Power's Customer Service Index in March. Not content, the company is rolling out an enhanced program called Jaguar EliteCare that launches on 2016 models. It offers a five-year, 60,000-mile limited warranty, the longest among its competitors, with free scheduled maintenance during that period. The plan also covers roadside assistance and connectivity features.
Watch this R/C Jeep Wrangler plow snow
Mon, 06 Jan 2014There's no denying the fact that the Jeep Wrangler is one tough and rugged vehicle, and there is apparently little lost when the SUV is shrunk down for a 1:10th scale radio-controlled version. Proving that the Axial SCX10 Jeep Wrangler is not your run-of-the-mill R/C car, YouTube user Andrew Dykiel posted a pair of videos showing it clear about an inch of snow from his sidewalk and driveway during a snow storm last month.
Starting at $379.99, the Axial SCX10 costs more than most budget snowblowers, but other than paying a neighbor kid to shovel your snow, this might be the best way for a car guy to clear snow without the need for hot chocolate and ibuprofen. Better yet, it's electric, so it's zero-emission answer to snow removal! Scroll down to see how this R/C Jeep can help "shovel" snow from the warmth of your sofa. We've also thrown in a bonus video showing the mini Jeep negotiating the Rubicon Trail.
