Why I am Selling
I bought this car in New York after my fiancee wrecked her CRD Grand Cherokee last summer.  We put a lot of miles on it in the first few months, but I had her Jeep rebuilt and back on the road by September.  We garaged this car through winter, and now we don't seem to drive it that much.  We are having a hard time justifying the car payment, so it's time to sell it.  It needs to belong to someone who is going to drive and enjoy it.

Exterior
I would rate the exterior an 8/10.  It has minor scuffs and scratches that come with cars of this age and mileage.  There are two significant scratches of note (see pictures): the first is on the hood at the front edge just right of the striping and is approximately 2"x5", and the second is on the driver's rear view mirror and is approximately 4" long.  I have not tried to work these out.  The car also has some errant wax on the lower trim.  I intended to have it detailed, only to find my detailer has gone out of business.  It could use a good wax and buff to make it really shine.

Interior
I would rate the interior a 9/10.  The leather has some creases forming on the outside bolsters on the driver's seat (common for a car of this age and mileage), but I cannot find a rip or tear in any seat or section of the carpet.  It has been kept clean the entire time it has been with us.  We're in our 30s, we don't smoke, and we don't have kids.

Modifications
There are two aftermarket parts added by the previous owner: a K&N cold air intake and a Mopar T-handle shifter.  All US SRT-8 and R/T Challengers come with a mini air compressor and a fix-a-flat blend for any flat tires because normal spare tires wouldn't clear the massive brakes.  I went and got a hub adapter, 18" spare tire, a jack, and the lug wrenches needed to give this car a legitimate spare tire.  I still have the mini compressor and I believe I have the Styrofoam insert for the spare tire well, and will gladly include these.  I just didn't want the risk of getting stranded with no spare tire.
 
Maintenance
We have only used the Mobil 1 0w40 recommended on the oil cap.  We have changed the oil when it tells us to.  Given the average intervals, it should be due for an oil change any day.  I will be sure to change the oil before it sells so any buyer doesn't have to worry about a change oil message on their way home.  We also replaced the rear tires with Yokohama Parada Spec-Xs a few months ago.  The front tires have about 20% of their tread left and do stick well.  I would guess they have about 4-5,000 miles left.  Replacements to match the rears can be found at Discount Tire.

Accident History
We have not had any incidents in the year that we have owned it.  A title history check shows there is a minor accident or act of vandalism occurring before we owned it, despite still having a clear title.  I cannot speak definitively as it happened in New York to the previous owner, but I cannot find a bad line on the car.  Additionally, there was a large spot of stained clear near the fuel filler when I bought the car.  It completely buffed out, leading me to believe this was an act of vandalism.  Again, I cannot speak definitively, but I encourage you to inspect the car if you can and verify its condition.

Shipping
I love driving across the US.  If you don't and want it delivered for less, we can work out a deal.  I can also pick you up at the airport (ABQ) or work with any auto transport service you hire to move the car.  I am extremely flexible and will do everything I can to help.

Payment
As mentioned before, we have a loan on the car.  HOWEVER, I have arranged alternate financing to get the title released in the event it sells.  I will need 7-10 days to process my funding and get the title released and in hand.  I do not require anything beyond the deposit before the transaction to get the title in-hand and ready to transfer.  Any payments of the balance must come in the form of cash or a certified check.  I have a bank that is available Monday-Saturday, and we can schedule a time to meet there and complete the transaction.

Inspections, Questions, etc.
If you would like to have the car inspected or you have any questions, please let me know.  I am quick to respond to emails, and I will likely load the eBay app on my phone so I can respond even faster during this auction.  Please do not hesitate to ask a question or make an offer.  The worst I can say is no.  Thanks for looking at this ad!

Disclaimers

I have this vehicle for sale on multiple sites.  It is for sale locally, and I reserve the right to cancel the transaction up to 7 days prior.  If any cancellation occurs, full notice will be given and any monies exchanged will be returned.  This is a used vehicle and comes for sale as-is.  There are no warranties expressed or implied with the car.

Marchionne on Alfa's US return, Dodge Dart's powertrain weakness and minivan plans

Fri, 18 Jan 2013

As a reporter covering an auto show, the one opportunity you never want to miss is going to the Sergio Marchionne press briefing.
"This undertaking to bring Alfa back is a one-shot deal... We are not going to do this twice."
There just aren't that many real characters left in the auto industry. Marchionne, who sits atop both Chrysler and Fiat, is not only one of the smartest execs in the business, but also the most frank. Herein, a sample of the quotable always-sweatered executive:

These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky

Fri, 24 Aug 2012

It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).
Check out our gallery of discontinued cars above, then scroll down for more information.

Dodge Viper GTS-R goes back to old-school livery

Fri, 20 Jun 2014

The Dodge Viper may have been around now for over 20 years, but as far as racing achievements go, 2000 was its finest season. That's when it won the Rolex 24 at Daytona, the GTS class trophy at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and its second consecutive title in the American Le Mans Series.
Since then, SRT Motorsports hasn't quite had the same success, withdrawing from Le Mans this year and shedding the Dodge name and its emblematic red and white livery for the SRT badge and a silver snakeskin theme. But now that the Viper is back under the Dodge banner, so too is the racing team returning to its classic livery.
Starting from the six-hour race at Watkins Glen next week, both the No. 91 and No. 93 Viper GTS-Rs will wear the red base color with twin white racing stripes that its more accomplished forebears wore on circuits around the world. And with it, maybe the Viper will return once again to the winner's circle at home and abroad.
