Time to sell my Grand Cherokee as I'm up to 5 cars for 2 people.

The vehicle is well equipped with 4.7L V8 engine, select-trac 4WD, anti-lock brakes, infinity stereo (cassette & CD), heated seats, power front seats (driver and passenger), A/C, power sunroof, towing package (class III), leather interior, remote keyless entry, factory alarm system, 60/40 split rear seat, auto dimming rear view mirror, heated side view mirrors, universal garage door opener, overhead console (compass/temp/trip computer), roof luggage rack, full size spare with alloy wheel, and rear window defroster and wiper. 

I'm the second owner of the car and bought it in late 2002 with 20Kish miles. I have had no major engine or transmission problems as the car has been well maintained over the years and runs great. I ran synthetic oil in the car until about 125K miles. Last tune was about 105,000 miles. I have replaced the crankshaft sensor, A/C evaporator, and most recently (this year) the front and rear back brakes (rotors,calipers, and pads).  Tires are near new maybe 8 to 10K miles on them. The interior is in great condition. dash and console are like new. The back seats have hardly been sat in. Driver seat has normal wear but doesn't look like 12 years old. Passenger seat is in real good shape. It is 2-3 years into a 72 month battery. I bought the car in Connecticut so it spend 3 years of winters there before coming back to Florida in 2005. Paint is in good condition but the car has a couple of dings here or there and some localized rust. Car runs good, AC works, and it's in overall good condition.

Now for the mechanical and cosmetic issues. I have changed the driver and passenger side window regulators a total of 5 times. As an Engineer I finally decided to repair the replacement part before reinstalling them since the failure was always the same. Both sides have been hanging in there ever since. However, the drivers side rear regulator just failed. I have a 2x4 back there holding up the window. Air bag light is on. I got a recall notice over a year ago on the air bag system and indicated the light would come on but they couldn't repair them until they got parts. I haven't heard anything more about it. So one or both of the airbags might not work, not sure. Check engine light is on. It never stays off more than a month or so. I have had the problem since after buying the car. Jeep dealer could never fix it. I found a vacuum leak not long ago and got it to go away for a month. But it's back. I don't bother checking the code anymore since it doesn't seem to effect anything. Overhead console stopped working. It was intermittent at first then it died. The 12V receptacles did the same thing. I suspect a bad ground but I haven't bothered with it since I really never used them. Wheels are showing some surface corrosion...maybe New England salt? There is rust on the hood in 4 or 5 plcs. It rusted from the inside out so it looks like poor prep on the original paint. Same rust problem on the top at the sunroof which needs repair soon. The sunroof leaked this year and I just put silicone caulk on it to stop it. I have never used the sunroof except opening it when I bought it. Hood air springs don't hold up the hood anymore (broomstick works nicely). Lift gate air springs hold but won't last much longer. These are the reasons the car is priced right to sell.

KBB book value for fair condition is about $3900 and the car is in better shape than fair condition and I'm asking for less.

Dirt Every Day tries to find the best 4x4 for under $4k

Mon, 25 Aug 2014

If you want to build a cheap truck that can still do dirty deeds off the beaten path, it's best to start with solid axles and a solid V8 engine. That sums up the lessons learned after watching the 2014 Cheap Truck Challenge from the Dirt Every Day video crew, who took to the deserts and surrounding areas near Reno, NV, in an attempt to find the best 4x4 for under $4,000. Fortunately for us, the whole sordid journey was captured on video.
This isn't the first time the boys from DED filmed a Cheap Truck Challenge, and this year's festivities pitted together a 1993 Chevy S10 pickup, a 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee and a 1975 International truck in a series of challenges ranging from donuts to drag races, with plenty of hill-climbing and rock-crawling action in between. We don't want to spoil all the fun, but suffice it to say one competitor was found to be lacking while the other two performed (mostly) well. See for yourself in the video above.

Fiat 500X poised for Paris catwalk

Wed, 05 Feb 2014

We've known for some time that the new, Fiat-based baby Jeep (which may or may not be called the Jeepster) is set to arrive at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show. What we weren't sure of was whether its platform mate, the so-called Fiat 500X, would be doing so alongside or at a later date. Well, according to Reuters, we'll get to see the first all-wheel-drive 500 later this year in the City of Lights.
Yes, we can expect the 500X to arrive at the 2014 Paris Motor Show, according to an official with an Italian trade union. The unnamed source cited retooling at Fiat's Melfi factory, in southern Italy, which currently produces the Grande Punto. It's expected that the newest member of the growing 500 family will replace the Suzuki SX4-based Fiat Sedici, although when the X will go on sale remains an open question.
According to Reuters, both the Jeepster and 500X will be built alongside each other in Italy. Whether the 500X will cross the pond with it's slat-grilled cousin, though, remains to be seen (we're leaning towards yes).

WWII Jeep 'found in crate' set to cross Greenwich auction block

Thu, 30 May 2013

Fans of old military vehicles might want to pay extra close attention to the Greenwich Concours d'Elegance coming up this weekend. Crossing the Bonhams auction block on Sunday are a pair of seemingly flawless World War II Jeeps, which are both expected to fetch serious dollars.
Lot Number 305 at the auction is a 1945 Ford GPW Jeep that has been fully restored, which is expected to command between $35,000 and $45,000. Shortly after the Ford GPW, a potentially more interesting 1944 Willys MB (shown above) will be auctioned off, but Hemmings raises some red flags about this Jeep. First, it is claiming to have been "discovered in its original crate about 30 years ago," but there is no proof or documentation of any sort. Also, it is claiming to be all original, but it was given a paint job "shortly after it was discovered." Even with these questionable descriptions, this Willys could reach between $20,000 and $30,000. Head over to Bonhams' site and Hemmings for more information on both WW2-era Jeeps.
