You are bidding on what may be the very nicest Grand Wagoneer available!
***I have just learned through Ebay's VIN check that this vehicle shows a Salvage branding on the title at some point. The GA title I received was clear and the Michigan Title I hold is CLEAR (see the pic). I believe in full disclosure and am now sadly re-listing with a Salvage title. Undeserving of such a fine example. However, I stand by the description below and still hold that you will not find a nicer Wagoneer. Shipping is Free, up to $700, if you purchase it for my very reasonable "buy it now" price Quick Stats: 1989 Jeep Grand Wagoneer 75,427 Original miles. VIN 1J4GS5874KP108410 Beautiful Oxblood leather interior Very Good Metallic Merlot Exterior Paint Towing Package *As a perfectionist and an engineer, I work hard to only acquire the best vehicles for my personal use and then continue to work hard to maintain their level of perfection. This Wagoneer is no different. I believe in a full disclosure approach to selling such that you can be the most comfortable in your remote purchase. See the many photos. Check out the videos where I point out all of the flaws that are known to me. No Disappointments! Body: The body is in great condition. It has been repainted the original color at some point. There is no rust. There is absolutely no sign of damage or accidents that I can find or am aware of. With the exception of the tailgate, all the panels and glass look to be original. See the video where I walk around the body and point out the known flaws. Here's the link to the Video: http://youtu.be/iWv_JL7fqE0 Interior: The interior is in amazing condition! Unbelievable for a vehicle that is 25 years old. The Oxblood leather is near perfect. The door panels are flawless. Very original. It is clear that this wagoneer has always lived a pampered life. The passenger power windows are slow but work best from their respective door switched. See the video where I show a few areas for improvement. Powertrain: I've gone through the original AMC 360 V8 and have replaced everything wearable: Water pump, oil pump(with mid-plate), alternator, bearings, rings, gaskets, seals, cam, upgrade to electric fuel pump, etc, etc. I've upgraded the cooling system with a custom aluminum radiator and a large oil-cooler. I've replaced all of the emission controls including the cat. It has a brand new smog pump that is installed but not hooked up. It has not passed California smog, but I see no reason that it won't be able to. The 4wd works perfectly. I've re-leveled the suspension to sit more appropriately for a classic SUV. There are new shock absorbers See the video:http://youtu.be/If38j98_Lwk *Flaw: Despite all my careful efforts, the motor occasionally drips oil. Not a puddle, just 1 or 2 drips while parked. I haven't had time to chase it down, but It seems to be coming from the back of a valve cover. Not a big deal for most, but disappointing for me. My apologies. Additionally, it shall be known that while the tires have a lot of tread left roll smoothly and quietly, they are more than 10yrs old, and should be replaced. History: I found this Jeep in Georgia and bought it for summer use only to pull the family boat back in Michigan. The seller I bought it from told me that it has always belong to people in his neighborhood. After moving to California, realizing that I no longer use it, I brought it out here to get it ready to sale. The Michigan title is CLEAR and in hand - see the pic. All the original pieces from which I've upgraded come with Jeep: Original radiator, front leafs, and valve covers, etc. Also included is a nice cover and a service manual. I have more pictures of the underside of the doors, and pictures of each panel if you'd like to see more. The winner of the this auction is going to love this Wagoneer! |

Ward's releases 10 Best Interiors list for 2014
Thu, 10 Apr 2014While we're still a ways off from the automotive awards season proper, where things like North American Car and Truck of the Year, Motor Trend's Car of the Year and Car and Driver's Ten Best are named, that doesn't mean there aren't trophies being handed out to deserving automakers. Ward's 10 Best Interiors being one of them.
As the name might imply, the magazine focuses on the very best interior treatments in the US market. Whereas some awards purposely exclude extreme, high-dollar offerings, Ward's considers them - the only requirement is that a vehicle has a "new or significantly redesigned interior."
Ward's offered up the list of winners in simple, alphabetical order, and it only seems fair to do the same:
NHTSA closes probes on Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey
Wed, 09 Jan 2013The Detroit News reports the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially closed its investigations into 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2004-2005 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey models. The separate probes found no issues that pose safety concerns. NHTSA began investigating certain Grand Cherokee SUVs over complaints that power steering hoses could detach during operation, thereby increasing the risk of a vehicle fire. Of the 24 reports of failure, none alleged smoke or fire in the engine bay, and Chrysler has since modified the power steering cooler assembly to reduce the likelihood of the failure.
Meanwhile, certain Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey vehicles garnered a government probe after receiving complaints that the models were equipped with faulty scissor jacks. The agency had received six reports of the jacks failing or causing injuries, including one incident that resulted in a fatality. But NHTSA says the jack failure rate is similar to those found in other vehicles. In those six cases, the government agency found the jacks were being used for something other than changing a tire, and investigators could not determine whether the emergency brake was set or the rear tires were properly chocked.
2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Diesel and SRT climb onto stage
Mon, 14 Jan 2013This is indeed a case of not knowing how much we wanted something until it arrived. We've been big fans of the Jeep Grand Cherokee ever since the new model arrived a couple of years ago, and while the update you see here might seem just a slight refresh, it's actually much more than that.
For starters, the 2014 Grand Cherokee marks the return of a diesel model here in the States, with Chrysler's new 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6 under the hood, churning out 240 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque, mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. Of course, all of the Grand Cherokee's usual off-road goodies are on hand, with moderate tweaks to make it an even more capable vehicle when the going gets rough. Both the gasoline-fed 3.6-liter V6 and 5.7-liter V8 get the new eight-speed auto, as well.
The high-performance Grand Cherokee SRT also trudges on into the new model year, with very subtle tweaks found underneath the aggressive, slightly redesigned sheetmetal. The 6.4-liter Hemi V8 also gets eight-speed gearing, which Chrysler says will improve not only 0-60 times, but mid-range performance as well. Bring it on, we say.
