1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee -- for repair or parts.
140,000 miles, no rust to speak of, ran great until I swerved to avoid a deer and hit a tree. Front left unibody is bent, but vehicle still drives fine and tracks straight.
6cyl, auto, 4wd.
Recent new radiator, front U-joints, 85,000 mile used transmission about 4k miles ago, exhaust, brakes and rotors, ABS sensor, Infinity power amp, various other parts. A/C works, cruise works, all power stuff works fine, except as noted. Windshield was recently replaced, and is nice and clear. Interior is okay -- not great, but not utterly disgusting.
Have 4 extra factory rims. (NOTE: the tires shown in the pictures are nearly new Cooper light truck studded snows, which I am NOT including with the sale. I will be replacing them with 4 older Cooper tires of the same size, unless buyer wants to purchase them separately.) Clean title.
I swapped the brand new battery out into my other vehicle, so the Jeep has to be jumped, but it starts right up and drives fine, other than a bit of rubbing.
There WERE a few issues with the vehicle, which I was in the process of addressing when the accident occurred, and I will list them as completely and honestly as I can:
1. The spline/connector on the front drive shaft slips, so it makes a noise when you engage 4wd. My mechanic told me it's not a big deal to replace.
2. There's an error message that says: "Coolant Sensor Bad". The coolant sensor has been replaced, and my research suggests that the problem is a faulty solder contact in the diagnostic readout on the console, but I have not gotten around to removing it to check.
3. Had an intermittent starting problem that we suspected was related to chassis ground. To test this hypothesis, I ran an old jumper cable from the battery ground, through the firewall, and clamped it to the seat frame, and that did solve the problem, so will need to make a more permanent connection underneath.
4. Hatch shocks are shot.
5. I removed the aftermarket radio I had in there and put the original cassette/cd unit back, but it has a broken knob.
6. There's a code coming up that indicates a 3-4 shift modulator (which can be replaced without removing the transmission). It's been there since I installed the transmission, and the transmission shifts fine, so I pretty much ignore it and figured I'd take care of it the next time I had the pan down for normal trans maintenance.
I think that about covers it. Drivetrain is strong and reliable. Suspension is good.

Sunday Drive: A tale of old favorites and upcoming challengers
Sun, Oct 8 2017Sedans and crossovers dominated the attention of our readers last week, led by the completely redesigned 2018 Honda Accord. It's the Japanese automaker's flagship, and people are seriously interested in finding out how good the latest Accord is. So interested, in fact, that no other single story came close to the brand-new Accord in Autoblog reader interest. Moving down the list we find the equally new 2018 Buick Enclave. The three-row crossover has a lot to offer a family, especially one looking for a nice, quiet ride. If you're looking for the exact opposite of nice and quiet, but still want enough room for you and your significant others, the Subaru WRX that we tested last week may be the perfect ride for you. Or, if you just want to drive fast and aren't at all worried about space, there's the Camaro SS. See? We offer something for everybody. From there, we look to the future. Who isn't interested in seeing the first fully electric vehicle from Porsche? And who isn't intrigued to see the Mission E testing alongside a gaggle of Teslas? A brand-new Jeep is always a big deal, especially when it's the revival of a classic nameplate like the Grand Wagoneer. And finally, we have something completely different: the Rezvani Tank. As always, tune in to Autoblog next week for a front-row seat to all the happenings worth following in the automotive industry. 2018 Honda Accord First Drive | Feels like home again 2018 Buick Enclave First Drive Review | Fortress of quietude 2018 Subaru WRX Drivers' Notes | Turbo traditionalist 2018 Chevy Camaro SS Drivers' Notes | Demonstrative power, middling interior Porsche Mission E caught testing against Teslas Jeep three-row SUV caught on public roads — Grand Wagoneer, perhaps?

FCA and ZF issue recall on nine-speed automatic transmission
Tue, Aug 9 2016After years of complaints, German transmission manufacturer ZF is finally issuing a recall of its much maligned 9HP nine-speed automatic transmission. Although it has been criticized for a number of issues, ZF is issuing the recall to address the possibility of the transmission unexpectedly shifting into neutral. The issue covers 505,000 vehicles in the United States alone. This issue is related to an improper crimp on the transmission wiring harness. Rather than a physical fix, ZF is issuing a software update to remedy the problem. The company doesn't recommend dealers attempt to fix the crimp. Although the transmission can be found in a number of models by various manufacturers, currently only those from FCA are being recalled. This is the second recall in less than a year related to a ZF transmission shifting into neutral. FCA recently recalled more than a million vehicles worldwide because of a poorly designed shifter for ZF's 8HP eight-speed automatic. That issue may have resulted in the death of actor Anton Yelchin in June. Although there are no deaths related to this new recall, NHTSA reports that the issue has resulted in at least 10 injuries. Issues with the transmission have been known for years. A number of software updates have attempted to address various problems, making us wonder if there could be a fundamental hardware issue as the complaints span across a number of automakers. Vehicles equipped with the 9HP include 2014 and newer versions of the V6 Acura TLX, Chrysler 200, Fiat 500X, upper-level Honda Pilots, Jeep Cherokee and Renegade, Land Rover Discovery Sport and Range Rover Evoque, and Ram ProMaster City. Only FCA is issuing a recall and only on 2014 and 2015 models. Related Video: News Source: NHTSA Recalls Chrysler Fiat Jeep Safety FCA nine-speed transmission
Jeep shows off Moab Easter Safari concepts crawling the red rocks
Thu, 28 Mar 2013While most brands are busy showing off in New York, Jeep headed out to Moab for the Easter Jeep Safari with the company's fleet of 2013 concepts. This year saw the Grand Cherokee Trailhawk II, Wrangler Mopar Recon, Wrangler Stitch, Wrangler Sand Trooper II, Wrangler Flattop and Wrangler Slim Concepts tackle the rocks and sand, and Jeep was kind enough to bring along a camera crew to film the machines rolling over a few obstacles. The result is the video below, though don't expect to see too much hardcore off road action.
Instead, the quick clip features more than a few interviews with Jeep executives, including Jeep Head of Product Design Mark Allen, explaining what makes the Easter Jeep Safari so important. You can check out the quick clip below for yourself, and be sure to thumb through our galleries of the concepts as well.
