NO RESERVE AUCTION on a Beautiful 1990 extremely low mileage original Jeep Grand Wagoneer. 2nd last year of the popular Grand Wagoneer. This is a very solid example, excellent running, excellent driving GW. Air conditioning blows cold, all windows work, tailgate window works but is a little slow in the middle. Power seats work, door locks work, has after market CD stereo and comes with original Jeep stereo as well. Cruise control works great. There are no exhaust leaks from manifolds and engine runs smooth and quiet without any hesitations. Jeep has brand new battery and brand new correct size original style white wall tires. Jeep rims are very good for their age. There is some minor flaking in the clear coat ( typical ) but little or no aluminum corrosion, nothing to be concerned about. Jeep has new set of original chrome lug nuts since photos were taken. It has had a full repaint recently that is of a very decent quality without any rust repair and is straight and dust free and has a beautiful finish. Wood grain is starting to warp in a few places but is in typical condition for a 24 year old vehicle. A new wood grain trim kit is available thru teamgrandwagoneer.com for less than $1000.00 if you chose to change it, This Jeep totally deserves it at some point. The interior is very clean and original and head liner is excellent with no sagging and full working overhead console and compass with outside temp gauge Chrome and stainless are all very good with the exception of the top of the grill under the hood area where there are some light wrinkles starting in the chrome.The chrome is still extremely shiny and without pits. It would not show up in photos but wanted to mention it. Over all the Jeep runs and drives terrific, just completed a 200 mile drive with absolutely no issues. These jeeps are impossible to find with this mileage unless you want to pay $45,000 elsewhere. Comes with 2 sets of original keys and original Jeep floor mats in excellent condition. Drive it home, Jeep is 10 minutes from Toronto International airport. all questions will be answered, Thanks Greg

Maserati Levante crossover not Jeep based after all?

Thu, 20 Feb 2014

Maserati has been teasing its crossover project since 2011, which is when it first showed off the Kubang concept (pictured above). Still, the production version, rumored to be called the Levante, remains a complete mystery. The CUV was first rumored to borrow the platform from the Jeep Grand Cherokee, but new rumors indicate that the Italian, luxury crossover might actually take the underpinnings from the Quattroporte and Ghibli.
In a brief interview, Maserati CEO Harald Wester told CNN Money that the Levante wouldn't use Jeep's platform. Motor Trend spoke with an unnamed Maserati engineer who confirmed the rumor. Officially, the company says that no decision has been made.
We can add this to another long list of rumors about the Italian CUV. It was originally supposed to be built at Chrysler's Jefferson North assembly plant in Detroit. Then, plans were changed to build it in Italy.

Marchionne uses racial epithet to describe what must power future Alfa Romeo models

Wed, 16 Jan 2013

Sergio Marchionne and his Fiat empire have a lot riding on the US return of the Alfa Romeo brand. The endeavor has been in progress for what feels like a lifetime - certainly for as long as Fiat has had the Chrysler brand under its Italian wing.
It's not surprising that Fiat CEO Marchionne needs a perfect first Alfa to mark a return to America. And here's where things get dicey. Nobody would argue with Marchionne's insistence that Alfa Romeo's be powered by Italian engines - as Marchionne himself is quoted to have said at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, "There are some things that are well done in Italy."
If not what he said, then, it's how he said it that has eyebrows raised. "I cannot come up with a schlock product, I just won't. I won't put an American engine into that car. With all due respect to my American friends, it needs to be a wop engine." Wait, what's that?

100,000 Jeep Cherokee models subject to further 9-speed recalibration

Thu, 29 May 2014

It seems that the software problems with the nine-speed automatic gearbox in the Jeep Cherokee continue to mount. The programming already caused multiple development delays and even postponed the Cherokee's market launch by roughly two months. Now, Jeep has issued another recalibration to hopefully assuage unhappy drivers.
According to Automotive News, this reflash for the allegedly jerky transmission covers over 100,000 Cherokees built before May 5, but it's not technically a recall. If owners are having problems and complain to the dealer, they get the new software. Otherwise, they continue with the current version. New vehicles on dealer lots also receive the latest revision to the programming. It takes only around five minutes to install, but technicians need to take the Cherokee on a test drive to adapt the gearbox to the changes.
The Cherokee's transmission software has been problematic practically since the beginning. The Jeep plant in Toledo, OH, briefly idled its second-shift workers last year to take care of the issue. Since the launch issues for the crossover, demand has been strong. Jeep added another 1,000 temporary workers to the Toledo factory to keep up, and sales were on par with the Wrangler in just its first two months.
