1988 Jeep Grand Wagoneer

About twice a year Grand Wagoneer's of this color (Spninnaker Blue) come up for sale on eBay.

About once every other year you might find one in this color and in this kind of shape somewhere on-line.

I know. I've owned six Grand Wagoneer's over the last 10 years.

I purchased this truck in fair condition from the second owner in North Carolina back in November of 2012.

It's been lovingly restored by two professional shops since then.

I am selling it for exactly what I have into it. Well honestly, I'm selling it for less than I have into it but don't tell my wife. I'm happy to show serious buyers all of my receipts AND put you in touch with both the body shop and mechanics who did all the work on the Jeep.

In addition I have the original owner's contact information ( he owned it from 1988- 2012).
The former owner changed out the headliner. The new headliner is in great shape and the colors match the interior very well.

I have the original window sticker as well as his notebook containing every dollar (other than gas) that he ever spent on the Jeep, as well as the date and the description of the repair! WOW!

This vehicle is now in EXCELLENT shape. It doesn't need a thing! Everything and I mean EVERYTHING operates as it should. The ride is smooth and quiet on the road even at 75 MPH.
Steering is straight and true. it's a pleasure to drive and of course it turns a lot of heads. I've had literally dozens of people tell me it's the most beautiful car they have ever seen!

The former owner must have used seat covers and floor mats because I'd swear the carpet and seats look brand new. Really. Even the drivers seat. Even the rear corners of the cargo area carpet.

All new brake work, all new ball joints, all new wood grain vinyl and wood grain trim. New Blue Tooth radio, New fully functioning rear cargo window, rebuilt gas tank.
One fender was rusted and replaced. it has a new fan clutch assembly, fuel pump, fuel sending unit, the rear transfer case was repaired, the drivers side window motor was replaced, exhaust manifolds were replaced,, etc.

I'm happy to take pictures of anything on the Jeep for your inspection.

 

 I'd URGE any serious buyer to have the car inspected (or I'll be happy to take it to any shop in or around Everett, WA. that you'd like) .
Sorry no trades. I would consider holding the car for a few months but only with a non refundable deposit of no less than $10K.



On May-13-13 at 09:28:26 PDT, seller added the following information:

 The engine was replaced when the truck had 66,000 miles on it. That means the current engine only has 36,000 miles on it.  Also, contact me at pauld@construx.com for more pictures.

Lexus tops JD Power Vehicle Dependability Study again, Buick bests Toyota

Wed, Feb 25 2015

It shouldn't surprise anyone, but Lexus has once again taken the top spot in JD Power's Vehicle Dependability Study. That'd be the Japanese luxury brand's fourth straight year at the top of table. The big news, though, is the rise of Buick. General Motor's near-premium brand beat out Toyota to take second place, with 110 problems per 100 vehicles compared to Toyota's 111 problems. Lexus owners only reported 89 problems per 100 vehicles. Besides Buick's three-position jump, Scion enjoyed a major improvement, jumping 13 positions from 2014. Ram and Mitsubishi made big gains, as well, moving up 11 and 10 positions, respectively. In terms of individual segments, GM and Toyota both excelled, taking home seven segment awards each. The study wasn't good news for all involved, though. A number of popular automakers finished below the industry average of 147 problems per 100 vehicles, including Subaru, (157PP100), Volkswagen (165PP100), Ford/Hyundai (188PP100 each) and Mini (193PP100). The biggest losers (by a tremendous margin, we might add) were Land Rover and Fiat, recording 258 and 273 problems per 100 vehicles. The next closest brand was Jeep, with 197PP100. While the Vehicle Dependability Study uses the same measurement system as the Initial Quality Survey, the two metrics analyze very different things. The VDS looks at problems experienced by original owners of model year 2012 vehicles over the past 12 months, while the oft-quoted IQS focuses on problems in the first 90 days of new-vehicle ownership. Like the IQS, though, the VDS has a rather broad definition of what a problem is. Because of that, a low score from JD Power is no guarantee of extreme unreliability, so much as just poor design. In this most recent study, the two most reported problems focused on Bluetooth connectivity and the voice-command systems. The former leaves plenty of room for user error due to poor design (particularly true of the Bluetooth systems on the low-scoring Fords, Volkswagens and Subarus), while the second is something JD Power has already confirmed as being universally terrible. That makes means that while these studies are important, they shouldn't be taken as gospel when it comes to automotive reliability.

Georgia judge slashes verdict to $40M in Jeep fire case

Wed, Jul 29 2015

A judge in Georgia has drastically reduced the damages that Fiat Chrysler Automobiles will have to pay to the family of Remington Walden, who a court said died as a result of the unsafe design of one of its vehicles. While the jury originally awarded the family $150 million at FCA's expense, Judge J. Kevin Chason cut that amount to $40 million, the Detroit News reported. The automaker may still appeal the verdict. The case dates to March 2012, when a 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee in which four-year-old Walden was riding was rear-ended by another vehicle. Due to what the jury ruled was an unsafe fuel tank, a fire erupted, and Walden died in the fire. The family's lawyers successfully argued that the automaker knew there was a problem and didn't take sufficient action to address the issue, while FCA countered that its vehicles met the applicable safety standards when they were built. The jury found FCA 99 percent responsible for the fire and Walden's death, reserving the final one percent for the driver who caused the crash. The court awarded the Waldens $150 million in damages to be paid by the automaker: $120 million for wrongful death, and a further $30 million for pain and suffering. FCA, however, argued that the damages were disproportionate to the incident, noting that the $120 million was 11 times higher and the $30 million four times higher than any comparable awards upheld on appeal in the state. Chason agreed and cut the penalties extensively. The Walden family has reportedly accepted the reduced verdict. But according to the News, company spokesman Michael Palese said, "The reduction in the damage awards does not cure the many errors that tainted this verdict and denied FCA US a fair trial. We are considering our legal options." News Source: The Detroit NewsImage Credit: Jeep Government/Legal Recalls Jeep lawsuit court

Watch this 9-year-old drive Jeep Wrangler off-road [w/poll]

Wed, 28 May 2014

This nine-year-old girl might be better at rock crawling than some people twice her age. But is it worth putting her in danger to do it? According to her father on the Jeep Experience Facebook page, her name is Faith, and she has been offroading with her family since she was two. At nine years old, she's now driving her dad's Jeep over the rocks by herself.
As you can see she's belted in and under her father's direct supervision and guidance. She shows immense confidence for someone her age and follows her dad's instructions on exactly what to do. Although, this could still be a very dangerous situation if something went wrong.
Previously, we saw a similar video with a six-year-old on a motorcycle driving on public roads through the desert. Voters decided by only a six-point margin that the adult should be in trouble for letting the kid ride the bike. Here, we have a slightly older child driving a vehicle off road. Where do you fall in this case? Is it still wrong to hand over control to a child? Let us know in the poll below and scroll down to watch the video.
