1989 Jeep Grand Wagoneer Base Sport Utility 4-door 5.9l on 2040-cars
Johnson City, Tennessee, United States

I bought this wag about two years ago for my 16 year old to learn how to drive in. We just sold my 18 year olds wag and now the 16 year old wants something newer to drive as well. This one has taken a lot of work to make it road worthy. The motor was rebuilt by a local machine shop and has about 1,000 miles on it. The battery, carburetor, alternator, thermostat, radiator, hoses, belts, fan clutch, tires, distributor (HEI), water pump, shocks, steering gear, fuel pump, starter, and some stuff I am sure I am forgetting are all new within the last two years. I like to play with old jeeps so it made sense to make one mechanically sound and let him learn in a heavy, safe car that could take a hit. I did the same for my 18 year old with a different wag and it has worked well. What does not work - the a/c, cruise control. The power locks lock well but struggle to unlock. The back window does not work from the key switch but works very well from the dash switch. The rest of the windows work, front ones well and the rear ones slow. The body has scratches and dents and rust spots. I tried to show it all in the pictures but I think the pictures still make it look better than it looks in person. I guess these old wags are photogenic. The interior is in really good shape as the pictures show. The carpet in the back corners is dry rotting though. the wag has a high capacity gas tank that holds about 28 to 30 gallons installed by the previous owner. 4WD works and this car did very well in the snow last year. When driven regularly it starts easily and runs well at operating temperature but I can not seem to get the choke set correctly so it does not run well until it is wormed up. If you have any questions please ask. If you have zero feedback please contact me before you bid. I would like a $500 deposit via paypal within 24 hours of the auction close. Balance is due when the jeep is picked up. You have two weeks to pick it up unless we agree ahead of time on something else. I will accept cash or paypal only. If, when you come to get the jeep you feel that it has been misrepresented I will refund you $400 of your deposit back. The jeep is being sold as is where is and shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. I will be happy to work with your shipper if you choose not to come and get it yourself. |

NHTSA closes book on Jeep 'trailer hitch' recall after all
Mon, 20 Jan 2014After much debating and hand-wringing, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration now says it has "no reservations" with Chrysler's plan to recall certain Jeep Liberty and Grand Cherokee models over concerns that their fuel tanks, which are located behind the rear axle, could rupture or leak in the event of a rear impact. The longstanding argument between the two entities saw Chrysler openly defy the Feds after a request to recall 2.7 million units back in June.
Chrysler's "voluntary campaign" will instead see it recall 1.56-million 1993-2004 model year Grand Cherokee SUVs, along with 2002-2007 Liberty models. Affected vehicles will get a trailer hitch installed free of charge, which Chrysler says will provide an additional degree of protection for the fuel tanks in the event of a crash. Jeeps with Mopar-branded hitches or hitches that were installed at the factory aren't affected by this recall.
Chrysler's argument throughout this battle has been that the Jeeps in question are no more susceptible to fires than comparable vehicles from the same time period, a position that NHTSA has seemingly arrived at as well. "Those vehicles performed at a rate similar to their peers. That is the keystone analysis as to whether something poses an unreasonable risk to safety," said outgoing NHTSA boss David Strickland during an interview with the The Associated Press.
NHTSA still mulling crash tests for recalled Jeeps
Thu, 15 Aug 2013Well, no one should ever accuse the government of not giving things plenty of thought. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is still debating whether it will retest any of the 1.56 million 1992 to 1998 Grand Cherokees and 2002 to 2007 Libertys that were part of a recall regarding fires after rear-end collisions. And yes, this debate has been going on for over a month. In other news...
The recall dustup started in early June, when Chrysler took the unusual position of refusing a recall request from NHTSA regarding placement of the fuel tank on the effected vehicles. NHTSA said a collision could cause a fire, a position Chrysler took issue with. Extensive negotiations ensued, with Chrysler agreeing to fit certain Jeeps with trailer hitches, which it said would provide some protection to fuel tanks mounted behind the rear axle in the event of a collision.
Part of the issue rests with the amount of data that needs to be processed, according to The Detroit News. NHTSA administrator David Strickland said during a Washington Auto Press Association meeting, "There's a lot of data and Chrysler is being very cooperative in giving us more data." Until that information has been sorted, it looks like re-testing will still be up for debate.
Toyota, Lexus dominate KBB's Best Resale Value Awards
Tue, 19 Nov 2013Toyota and Lexus stormed the 2014 Kelley Blue Book Best Resale Value Awards, winning a combined 18 categories including best brand and best luxury brand. This marks the third year in a row that both automakers have won the Brand and Luxury Brand resale value awards. In all, Toyota won 11 categories and Lexus won seven.
Honda made a good showing, as well, winning two segments (Accord Plug-In Hybrid and Civic Si) and putting one car on the top-10 Best Resale Value list (CR-V). Chevrolet did even better, winning two segments (with the V6 Camaro and the Corvette) and placing three cars on the top-10-overall list (again, the Camaro and Corvette, plus the Silverado 1500).
The other winners came from Jeep, Dodge, Infiniti, Subaru and Audi. To give you a clearer picture of the Toyota and Lexus domination, their 18 mentions represents more than half of the 34 awards (including the top-10-overall list).
