1988 Jeep Grand Wagoneer
This has been a great vehicle for me. I have owned this Jeep for roughly three years. I am in the process of moving and am looking to part ways with my Jeep. This Jeep is a classic. It has been a good runner for me. I talked with my wife at great detail about this and have come to realize a few things. 1) I am not a mechanic. 2) I do not want to become a car guy because I would rather spend my money on other hobbies. I have noticed over the past few months that there was some oil leaking from the Jeep. I took the Jeep into a mechanic this week and was given the following things to look at. 1) Manifold Gasket Set 2) Valve Cover Gasket Set 3) Battery 4) Coolant. The estimated repairs with parts and labor at this specific shop came out to $888.04. Please be aware of this. These are repairs the mechanic could see from the outside of the engine. There could be more once the engine is worked on. The driver side window needs a new track in order to function. I was told by the same mechanic the part can be purchased for about $10. I have a picture of the window motor in my pictures. The plastic track is what needs to be replaced. There are minor rust spots on the body. There is a major rust spot through the rear passenger side floor. This spot goes through the floor and is the size of a softball. Please see the pictures. I had the mechanic fix the tow package, so you could pull something if desired. The interior is in fair to good shape. The carpet is in good shape in both the front and middle of the Jeep. The carpet has started to deteriorate in the rear of the Jeep. If you look at the pictures, you will see a wiring system sticking out of the back door of the Jeep. This was something I had installed to operate the rear window. On this particular model, you need to roll down the rear window before opening the tailgate. If you look closely at the mileage gauge, the number in the one hundred thousandths place looks different. This has led me and my wife to feel as if a previous owner has tampered with the mileage gauge. Once again, I am not a mechanic. I want to make sure I am being as honest as possible with this description. If you have questions on anything else you see, please let me know. On a final note, I am looking to sell this Jeep because I feel I can spend my money on other hobbies. This would be an awesome vehicle for somebody looking to restore or have a fun project at home. There is a reserve on this Jeep because it does have a lot of nice qualities to it. The best being that it is a cool ride. Please feel free to email me your questions and I will try to be as honest as possible about it. Please understand my knowledge of everything automobile related is limited, but I will try to do my best to help you out. |

LA-bound 2014 Jeep Wrangler special edition gives us the Willys for $25,795
Mon, 18 Nov 2013The Jeep Wrangler might be the reigning king of special editions, but with sales records being broken almost all year, this plan is obviously resonating with buyers. Joining new models like the Dragon Edition and Polar Edition, the 2014 Jeep Wrangler is adding a new Willys Wheeler Edition to pay homage to Jeep's military heritage.
Getting ready for its big debut at the LA Auto Show, the 2014 Jeep Wrangler Willys Wheeler Edition is inspired by early Willys CJ (Civilian Jeep) models with exclusive styling and upgraded off-road goodies. Starting with a Wrangler Sport, these upgrades include a Dana 44 rear axle with limited-slip differential and 3.73 gears, along with meaty BF Goodrich KM Mud Terrain tires mounted to the Willys Wheeler's black 17-inch wheels. For more of a classic Jeep look, this model adds a gloss black grille, "Willys" hood stickers and rock rails to protect the side sills. Jeep is also tossing in a D-ring, tow strap and gloves that are all kept in a special carrying bag.
When it goes on sale early next year, the Wrangler Willys Wheeler Edition will start at $25,795 for the two-door model, while the four-door will start at $29,595. There's an official press release posted below, and we'll be sure to have live images of the special-edition Wrangler live from the LA Auto Show floor later this week, so stay close.
Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014
Thu, 27 Feb 2014Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.
Lexus gets top brand marks from Consumer Reports; Ford, Jeep hit hard
Tue, 25 Feb 2014Consumer Reports has released its 2014 Car Brand Report Cards, with Lexus again reigning at the top and doing so with the same industry-topping score of 79 that it registered in last year's Report Cards. This year, the institute credited its lineup for being "usually quiet, comfortable, and fuel-efficient," noting it's the only brand on the list "to achieve an excellent average overall reliability score." The Car Brand Report Cars list is meant to rank the best all-around vehicles based on CR testing and reliability results tallied by subscribers it surveyed. Each brand included must have sufficient test and reliability data for at least three models, a standard which left out 11 marques including Fiat, Jaguar, Land Rover and Porsche.
This 2014 Brand Report Cars edition is the first of a new format in which sub-brands have been broken out from their parent brands, with Acura using this year to move up the leaderboard into second place with a score of 75 for its "reliable, well-finished and somewhat sporty models." The top three was rounded out by Audi, climbing from eighth to third by scoring a 74 for "well-crafted interiors, nice handling and good gas mileage." Audi scored highest in the road-test portion, its improved reliability aiding its rise. The top nine was completed by Subaru, Toyota, Mazda, Honda, Infiniti and Mercedes-Benz.
Ford and Jeep weighed in at the other end of the rankings, Jeep taking the lowest overall score in the road tests and hampered by "a mix of spotty reliability." Ford was sunk by reliability issues with its MyFord Touch infotainment system which consumers found troublesome enough to negate its cars earning "solid test scores" for being "very nice to drive." Perhaps the rumored switch from Microsoft to Blackberry's QNX for the next generation SYNC will help them out. Cadillac's score also took a hit for infotainment reasons after it was the leading US brand last year, the CUE system in the XTS dragging Cadillac to the bottom of all General Motors brands.
