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.

Are we about to see a real SUV revival?

Wed, Mar 23 2016

Now that the marketplace has been oversaturated with cute-utes, crossovers, and CUV coupes, are we about to see a resurgence of real, honest-to-God SUVs? Ummm... maybe. The stars seem to be aligning in that direction, at least that's the sense I'm getting. We know an all-new Jeep Wrangler is only a few auto shows away; and that Jeep is about to introduce a new Grand Cherokee Trailhawk for 2017, in the same rugged spirit of the successful Cherokee and Renegade Trailhawks. Ford has hinted at a neo-Bronco, after showing the concept above in 2014 to wet the mouths of all those Duck Dynasty-types out there. And, and... wait for it... I recently learned that Subaru sent a questionnaire out to some Forester owners asking if they might be interested in an off-road package if it were offered. The items listed were pretty hardcore, serious stuff, such as: integrated tow/recovery hooks, additional ground clearance, more rugged wheels, skid plates, altimeter, front-view off-road camera, improved approach and departure angles, advanced differentials, Inclinometer, full-size spare tire, upgraded off-road suspension components, more aggressive tires, off-road driving mode (engine, transmission, throttle, and steering settings), more rugged styling, low-range gearing, and a more advanced traction management system. Folks that's not my wish list (well, actually it is), but those are words from Subaru, asking if that's what customers would like to see. Need proof? Go to the SubaruForester.org website. It's in a discussion there. So... no promises or guarantees here, and feel free to call me a rumormonger if you like; but the next few years could prove very interesting for those who actually do go off road. If this pans out, remember, you read it here first. Related Video: Image Credit: Ford Ford Jeep Subaru Crossover SUV Off-Road Vehicles open road

FCA is setting a five-year strategy: Here's how the last one played out

Thu, May 31 2018

We're slightly more than four years removed from Sergio Marchionne last five-year plan for FCA, a tell-all where the Italian-American automaker divulged its plans for the 2014 through 2018 model years. It was a grand affair, where Sergio told FCA investors that all was right in Auburn Hills, Alfa Romeo and Maserati were making comebacks, and the fifth-gen Dodge Viper received a mid-cycle refresh. You can read every last one of those past predictions right here. We're on our way to Europe to see Sergio's sequel, coming out Friday straight from FCA's Italian headquarters. (Bloomberg reports a plan to expand Jeep and Ram globally, combine Alfa Romeo and Maserati into a single division for an eventual spinoff, and downsizing Fiat and Chrysler. Also, EVs.) But before we arrive in Italy and find out exactly what Marchionne has planned for 2019 through 2023 as his last act as CEO, let's take a minute to tally up the results of his last term based on the same scoresheet we used in 2014. Now, we're only five months into 2018, so much of this — including vehicles like the Ram HD and Jeep Grand Wagoneer — could still debut this year. For those, we'll mark things TBD. We're not going to draw any conclusions or make any objectionable remarks. We're simply going to let the stats speak for themselves.
