Offering my 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee for sale.  I am going to be very transparent about the condition of this vehicle as I have never sold ANYTHING that warranted a negative feedback from my buyers, and don’t want to start now! (Check previous feedback, especially on truck I sold and higher end items) Here is the rundown:

 

I believe this would be a better “parts” vehicle, vs. a “fixer-upper”, but either is possible!

 

In the past 14 months the following has been completed:

 

-  New Radiator and hoses

-  New Catalytic Converter

- Newer Battery

 

Body is very good EXCEPT dent and damage to drivers side door (Door latch busted and lower panel has “crunch”, still closes but does not lock-I would count on replacing).  Also, paint is peeling on hood and roof.

 

·      Interior is very good, expected wear only.

·      A/C is iffy-recharge?

·      Heat is weak-t-stat or heater core, or?????

·      Upgraded newer radio/CD/i-Plug- all works when it wants.  No explanation on that!

·      Motor has almost 200K  (Straight 6 known to go 300k) Has been extremely dependable, actually runs pretty great, does NOT purr like new, but it doesn’t rattle the fillings out of your teeth either. (No noticeable knocks are sketchy idling.)

·      Transmission was replaced a few years back with one that had about 125K on it, actually shifts/runs pretty well.

·      The 4 wheel drive works BUT something is going on!  Very, very fickle when you go from 4 wheel drive to 2 wheel drive.  Transfer case and/or linkage?  If this helps: it tends to “skip” when making sharp turns and returns to 2 wheel drive when it wants to.

·      Tires stink!

·      Brakes: stops the vehicle but they are due, starting to feel mushy.

·      Glass all good.

·      Keyless entry and power windows all work (Drivers side door does not lock to to cited damage).

·      Shocks/struts seem fine

·      Front end needs alignment (Just due-I believe front end is ok)

·      Have original owners manual

·      Clean Title and some paperwork (on repairs) left

This has been my primary vehicle for the past two years and she has never failed me.  I was one of the few people who made it to work after 2 feet of snowfall, so this vehicle is a true trooper.  Again, I would lean toward it now being an outstanding parts vehicle, but she could certainly give another 50K worth of life with some work.

PLEASE ASK ANY QUESTIONS-I may have missed something and I want to be sure you know what you are getting!  If you look at my reviews I have made “making honest, solid deals” my priority on e-bay, not “making money”.

 

Happy bidding!!

Stellantis reports $15B profit in first year of merger

Wed, Feb 23 2022

FRANKFURT, Germany — Automaker Stellantis said Wednesday that it made 13.4 billion euros ($15.2 billion) in its first year after it was formed from the merger of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and PSA Group. The earnings nearly tripled profits compared with its pre-merger existence as two separate companies, as the maker of Jeep, Opel and Peugeot vehicles exploited cost efficiencies from combining the businesses. The result compared to a combined 4.79 billion euros for the separate companies in 2020 before the merger, which took effect on Jan. 17, 2021. Revenue for the combined business rose 14%, to 152 billion euros. CEO Carlos Tavares said the results “prove that Stellantis is well positioned to deliver strong performance" and had overcome “intense headwinds” during the year. Automakers have struggled with shortages of key parts such as semiconductor electronic components and rising costs for raw materials as the global rebound from the worst of the coronavirus pandemic brings more demand. The company said the benefits of the merger were worth some 3.2 billion euros during the year. Mergers can lead to streamlined costs as companies combine functions and spread fixed costs over a larger revenue base. The company accelerated its rollout of battery-powered vehicles, with sales of low-emission vehicles reaching 388,000 — an increase of 160%. Stricter environmental regulations in Europe and China are pushing automakers to roll out more electric vehicles with longer range. Stellantis started production of a hydrogen fuel cell commercial van under its Opel brand in December. Stellantis' other brands include Chrysler, Citroen, DS, Fiat, Maserati, Ram and Vauxhall.

This SEMA special drag race is absurdly awesome

Fri, Dec 5 2014

The SEMA Show came and went last month, and it showed us a ton of heavily modded goodies to dream about during the long, cold winter. The Motor Trend Channel on YouTube is keeping the party rolling a little longer, though, with a drag race inspired by the aftermarket event. All of the hosts were supposed to borrow a vehicle from the show for the big race, but only two of them actually cajoled companies into lending their wares. Still, the result includes four very cool and extremely different examples of the breadth of the automotive hobby. First up, there's a 1955 Chevrolet with a 535-cubic-inch (8.8-liter) Hemi V8 stuffed under the hood. Appropriately, it's dubbed the Blasphemi, and with skinny tires up front, fat rubber in the rear and a stripped interior, this this is made to go very fast in a straight line. Next, there's a stock Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat boasting 707 horsepower. Plus, host Jessi Lang has her dog riding shotgun for the race. A Chevy Sonic RS with some body mods, downpipe and intake is also competing. Finally, the most bizarre of the quartet is a custom 1958 Jeep Forward Control with a 5.7-liter Hemi V8 and treads to replace the wheels. Obviously, the Blasphemi and Hellcat are the only two that really have a chance of winning, but check out the video to see which one crosses the finish line first.
