NO RESERVE............NO RESERVE

I’m selling the Jeep I bought a couple years back (a car I bought specifically for my son as a learning vehicle).

 

When my son got his drivers’ license I wanted to put him in a tank. Something safe but also something I would have to worry about getting damaged.  This 1996 Jeep Country fit the bill perfectly.  As you see in the photos it came already “Pre-dented” in the front and rear, so a few more scrapes and scratches would hardly be noticeable.

 

I have put significant money into it trying to make it safe and reliable.

I will list all the good points AND bad below.

 

My son is now gone to college and it is starting to sit around in the driveway.

I would like to give it a new home and get it out of my way.

It would make an excellent first car (as I have used it) for anyone.

 

It RUNS and drives well.  Starts every time however there are a couple nagging issues.

 

1)     Exhaust leak.  You can hear it when the car is started, but after it warms up, it goes away.  Not affecting performance.

2)     Awful (yet intermittent) vibration at highway speed after you hit a significant bump.  I have replaced just about every component in the front end and the shocks all around but didn’t seem to fix the problem.  (As a result I only allow my son to drive it locally and below highway speeds).

 

The GOOD:

Everything works – I think.  I can’t check the AC now, but it was working.

Replaced: Shocks, Tie Rod, Tie Rod Ends, Adjustment Sleeves and Dampner.

Power Steering Service

Brake Service Front – Pads and Rotor

Battery

4 Wheel drive works

Power windows and locks

Radio (w CD)

Newer tires

 

 

The Bad:

Dents front and rear (in pictures)

Fabric on the Head liners is loose (holding with pins)

Crack in front windshield (been there for years)

Back hatch broken shocks (opens and closes – but won’t stand open on it’s own)

Auto Passenger Door lock works (but sticks sometimes – have to reach over to unlock it)

 I’m offering this at No Reserve – but reserve the right to end it early because I will also attempt to sale it locally.

 

You will need to arrange you own pick up.  I would not drive it on the open road because I still don’t know the cause of the intermittent vibration.  If you are local then driving it will not be a problem.  It will go all day long on surface streets and below highway speed.

 

You are more than welcome to see it and test drive it.

Jeep sets all-time sales record in 2012

Wed, 09 Jan 2013

Last year was good to Jeep. Chrysler has announced its trail-rated brand set an all-time global sales record in 2012 by moving 701,626 units. That number easily surpasses the previous record set in 1999 when Jeep sold 675,494 models. All told, the brand saw a 19-percent sales increase worldwide over 2011, and much of that swell can be traced directly to the Wrangler. While the Grand Cherokee led Jeep sales, the Wrangler posted record numbers both globally and within the US, moving 194,142 and 141,669 units in each market, respectively.
Meanwhile, the Compass beat its previous global sales record with 103,321 units rolling off of dealer lots. In the US, Jeep sold 62,010 Patriot units, breaking that model's previous record as well. Jeep's impressive performance in 2012 marks the second year in a row the brand has seen double-digit percentage sales increases. Check out the full press release below.

Watch this R/C Jeep Wrangler plow snow

Mon, 06 Jan 2014

There's no denying the fact that the Jeep Wrangler is one tough and rugged vehicle, and there is apparently little lost when the SUV is shrunk down for a 1:10th scale radio-controlled version. Proving that the Axial SCX10 Jeep Wrangler is not your run-of-the-mill R/C car, YouTube user Andrew Dykiel posted a pair of videos showing it clear about an inch of snow from his sidewalk and driveway during a snow storm last month.
Starting at $379.99, the Axial SCX10 costs more than most budget snowblowers, but other than paying a neighbor kid to shovel your snow, this might be the best way for a car guy to clear snow without the need for hot chocolate and ibuprofen. Better yet, it's electric, so it's zero-emission answer to snow removal! Scroll down to see how this R/C Jeep can help "shovel" snow from the warmth of your sofa. We've also thrown in a bonus video showing the mini Jeep negotiating the Rubicon Trail.

Jeep does Renegade Chinese-style with Zi You Xia design concept

Sat, 19 Apr 2014

As we mentioned, Jeep is bringing a quartet of concepts to the Beijing Motor Show this year. Its largest model, the Grand Cherokee, is nowhere to be found, but its smallest is. That, of course, would be the new Renegade, which has been done up as the Zi You Xia design concept.
Taking its name from the Mandarin word (or words) for "rebel," the Zi You Xia takes its inspiration from the National Centre for the Performing Arts in Beijing, with a Warm Chocolate Gray paintjob with contrasting dark bronze trim. The roof, grille and mirror caps are color-keyed to match the rest of the exterior, riding on 20-inch alloys in the same dark bronze finish.
Inside it's all Piano Black, Anodized Copper and brown leather with plaid fabric inserts. Scope it out in the high-res image gallery above and the press release below.
