1988 Jeep Grand Wagoneer on 2040-cars
Old Saybrook, Connecticut, United States
|
For Auction is a 1988 Jeep Grand Wagoneer. This Jeep is in great condition for a 26 year old vehicle. It lived its whole life in Colorado. It looks and drives great. The reserve price is reasonable.
Mechanically, the Jeep has been gone through top to bottom. It recently passed strict Colorado emission testing with flying colors. All of the original emission control equipment is intact and functional. The engine is strong and starts easily. The 4 wheel drive and cruise control work as they should. The transmission shifts smoothly. The Jeep drives very well. The interior is in great condition. The leather seats are not torn. A/C blows ice cold. All power windows including tailgate were recently serviced and work well. Power seats work perfectly. Power door locks are sometimes a little sticky but work well. The headliner is sagging but not torn. The carpet in the rear cargo area is torn in the corners. The power mirror switch is faulty. The windshield wiper system is "sticky" but works fine. The exterior looks very good, There is almost no rust except for two small spots as shown in the pictures on the front fender and rear quarter panel. The wood surround is in very good shape for the age, the paneling has some peeling. The paint is fading on the left side and the clear coat is peeling on the roof and some other areas. The frame and under-body have virtually no rust. Many new parts were recently installed for the following systems: Emissions: A California compliant catalytic converter (over $400), carbon canister, EGR valve, PCV valve, special curved PCV hose, miscellaneous vacuum hoses. Suspension: Rancho shocks, steering stabilizer, transmission mount. Cooling: Water pump, thermostat, radiator hoses, heater hoses, heater core, fan clutch, used radiator with low miles. Fuel system: Fuel pump, accelerator pump, fuel filter, misc fuel lines. Ignition system: spark plug wires, spark plugs, distributor cap and rotor, ignition coil, battery. Engine mechanical: drive belts, valve cover gaskets. Trim: Outer window wipes, and inner tailgate wipe. The transmission fluid and filter were recently serviced, as well as differential fluids, and front wheel bearings. There are some issues to be expected on a 26 year old vehicle. The engine and transmission do have minor leaks as could be expected on a vehicle of this age. It will need a muffler soon, all other exhaust components are in excellent condition. The tires are "out of round" from sitting but still have 90% tread. I have been as thorough as possible in the description, so a potential buyer can bid with confidence. I believe that this is a very nice example of these classic Jeeps. It would be a great candidate for a complete restoration, or just driven as is. It should have no trouble passing safety or emission inspection in any state. I recently drove this Jeep from Colorado to Connecticut, over 1500 miles and wouldn't hesitate driving it across country again. A $750 dollar deposit via paypal will be required within 48 hours after the auction ends. Remaining balance in cash or certified check or bank transfer. During regular business hours at a local bank. Any bidder with less than 5 feedback must contact me before placing bids. The Jeep is located in Old Saybrook, CT. Local pickup only. I will consider driving the vehicle a short distance if buyer wishes to arrange and pay for shipping, and payment is complete. All arrangements must be made before conclusion of auction. Additional pictures are available. Feel free to contact me with any questions. Thank you and happy bidding. |

2014 Jeep Cherokee musters 22 MPG city, 31 highway
Thu, 05 Sep 2013Production and media drive delays included, there has been no lack of press surrounding the 2014 Jeep Cherokee. With the most recent delay reportedly due to powertrain calibrations, we've been waiting to see how the Cherokee's fuel economy looks against the highly competitive compact CUV segment. Thanks to the EPA, we now know the fuel economy figures for the newest member of the Jeep family.
Arguably, the Cherokee has the most modern powertrain in its class with an updated base engine, all-new V6 and all-new nine-speed automatic transmission, but its fuel economy figures are simply on par for the segment. Still nothing to scoff at, though. According to fueleconomy.gov, front-wheel-drive Cherokee models with the base four-cylinder mill will top out the lineup with 22 miles per gallon in the city and 31 mpg on the highway; opting for four-wheel drive with this engine drops the figures to 21 city and 28 highway. Get even crazier with the option list, and the new 3.2-liter Pentastar V6 will get you 19 mpg city and 28 mpg highway in two-wheel-drive form or 19 city and 27 highway for 4WD.
If you're wondering how that stacks up among compact CUVs, head on over to Automobile Magazine for a full fuel economy breakdown for the segment. The controversially styled crossover hits dealers this month, and we'll be driving it in just a couple of weeks.
Jeep Wrangler's shift to aluminum could see production leave Toledo
Mon, 06 Oct 2014The Jeep Wrangler may be a timeless design, but sooner or later, time will run out and Chrysler will have to replace it with a newer model more friendly towards the earth it's designed to traverse. That will, it seems, mean a shift to aluminum construction (whether just for the body or for the entire structure) - but what will that mean for the Wrangler's long-time home of Toledo, OH?
According to the latest pronouncements from Fiat Chrysler chief Sergio Marchionne, the shift to an aluminum Wrangler would likely mean moving production out of Toledo. "If the solution is aluminum," Marchionne told Automotive News, "then I think unfortunately Toledo is the wrong place, the wrong setup to try and build a Wrangler, because it requires a complete reconfiguring of the assets that would be cost-prohibitive."
Marchionne also indicated that, were Wrangler production to move elsewhere, it would find another line to take its place in Ohio. "One of the thing that we are dealing with now is what else we do with Toledo that fulfills our commitment to the city and to Ohio. I don't have a doubt that there will be zero impact on head count and employment levels and anything else." Jeep has built the Wrangler in Toledo since World War II, with the exception of six years starting in 1986 when it was built in Brampton, Ontario. The complex dates back to 1910 and currently produces the Wrangler and Cherokee. Past products have included the Wagoneer and Commanche as well as the Dodge Dakota and Nitro.
What's really going on with the 2014 Jeep Cherokee's transmission issues?
Fri, 27 Sep 2013On 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."
