This 1979 Jeep Wagoneer was purchased on September 25, 1978 by Edgar W. from East Bend, N.C. He paid $8,749.00 for it. I have the original Bill of Sale, and the original and still current Title dated October 25, 1978. I have documentation showing that the very low miles of 91k are accurate. Edgar W. owned and enjoyed this beautiful truck for 34 years until he was no longer able to drive. He had to be placed in a local Nursing Home where he lived until his passing in 2012. This was his little baby, and it shows. Never smoked in, never off roaded, always maintained, and always loved and enjoyed. The interior is in beautiful original condition.  The exterior paint and chrome are in fantastic shape. The tires are newer. This fine truck starts up on the first start. Drive it, enjoy it, show it off. Everywhere you go, people stop you, ask questions, and admire it. There are alot of the newer 80's and early 90's still around, but these are fewer and far between. These were the beginnings of the SUVs in America. The undercarriage is solid with no rust issues at all. The engine compartment is tidy and the motor has had a new carb. installed, and numerous maintenance items performed such as new spark plugs, wires, fuel filters, vacuum lines, dist. cap & rotor, ignition coil, (4) new belts, radiator cap, drain plug, oil service, 4wd service, trans. service, new thermostat, housing & gasket, etc.. The 4wd works fine, as does the ac. This truck has had a wonderful respected life and it needs to go to a similar home. This is the kind of truck that you can enter in Antique Car Shows, and it will be a hit! It comes with the original manual, original window sticker, original new truck brochures, and several receipts from the past. You will not be disappointed with this beauty. Any questions? Please call Norm@941-961-3550 anytime. My Buy It Now is realistic, or feel free to make a reasonable offer. Thanks.

What's really going on with the 2014 Jeep Cherokee's transmission issues?

Fri, 27 Sep 2013

On September 23, Automotive News reported that Chrysler had idled the second shift workers it hired just five weeks prior at its Toledo Assembly Complex to build the 2014 Jeep Cherokee. At the time, Chrysler said it had "built the critical number of vehicles we need to stock dealerships once containment is released" and did not want "to put additional strain on our logistics partners ... upon release." That reasoning was not only unusual, it didn't seem to make sense.
It appears the center of the nine-speed issue is software, not hardware.
That same day, the Detroit News ran a piece claiming workers at the Toledo factory said the halt was due to issues with the Cherokee's transmission. It put the number of already-built Cherokees needing fixes at 1,000 and said that some of the workers not laid off had been instructed "to take the Jeep on long test-drives." That made more sense. Three days later, on September 26, Automotive News reported that the 500 workers laid off had been reinstated, with engineers "speeding repairs on the SUV's powertrain software." The AN piece didn't put a number on how many units are being fixed, but it did say that 12,000 have been built and are awaiting delivery to dealers. The best it could say about when dealers will get them, however, is that "progress on a fix is being made. It's unclear when shipments to dealers will start."

FCA's UAW workers to get $8,010 profit-sharing payout

Wed, Mar 3 2021

UAW workers at FCA will soon be receiving $8,010 checks, which represent profit-sharing based on the company's 2020 performance. Although FCA's profit margins in 2020 were slimmer than the year prior, the union-employee payouts are slightly larger, due to a change in the formula that was negotiated in 2019 and has now gone into effect. Employees are now paid $900 for every 1% of profit margin FCA achieves in its North American operations. For 2020, the company enjoyed an 8.9% profit margin, and although that was down slightly from 9.1% in 2019, the checks are larger than last year's $7,280 payout. Still, FCA employees didn't fare quite as well as their counterparts at GM, who stand to receive profit-sharing checks of up to $9,000. GM workers did even better last year, netting $10,000. UAW workers at Ford had less to celebrate. They'll receive $3,525, based on the company's 2020 performance. That's a steep drop from last year's $6,600. FCA earned $6.472 billion in North America in 2020. The company is expecting an improved financial performance in 2021, as it's expected to avoid another coronavirus-related shutdown. It's also expected to benefit from the launch of the three-row Grand Cherokee L, as well as the Jeep Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer, all of which are high-margin products.

2014 Jeep Compass/Patriot sing their swan songs with a six-speed automatic

Tue, 15 Jan 2013

Unless the governor, Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne, gives them a reprieve, the 2014 Jeep Compass and Patriot are expected to meet their makers sometime next year. Should they perish, it's a shame that it would happen just as they've shed the continuously variable transmission that was their major bugbear, and just as the Compass has gotten its best looks yet.
Both will roll with a proper six-speed automatic transmission, courtesy of PowerTech. Noise-resistant gears and tuning by Chrysler boffins should alleviate the unappealing sounds that were given off by the older CVT. Unless, that is, you choose to have either model equipped with Freedom Drive II; the serious off-road package, available on both baby Jeeps, will still come with the CVT. The base transmission on the entry-level Sport trim remains the five-speed manual.
Otherwise, it's minor changes for the Compass, set off by the new 18-inch wheel option, trim pieces around the car and a back-up camera. The Patriot gets seat-mounted airbags, but is carryover otherwise. With their expected demises perhaps a year away, not much has changed otherwise. Engine choices comprise the 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 158 horsepower and 141 pound-feet of torque or the 2.4-liter four-cylinder with 172 hp and 165 lb-ft.
