1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee -- for repair or parts.
140,000 miles, no rust to speak of, ran great until I swerved to avoid a deer and hit a tree. Front left unibody is bent, but vehicle still drives fine and tracks straight.
6cyl, auto, 4wd.
Recent new radiator, front U-joints, 85,000 mile used transmission about 4k miles ago, exhaust, brakes and rotors, ABS sensor, Infinity power amp, various other parts. A/C works, cruise works, all power stuff works fine, except as noted. Windshield was recently replaced, and is nice and clear. Interior is okay -- not great, but not utterly disgusting.
Have 4 extra factory rims. (NOTE: the tires shown in the pictures are nearly new Cooper light truck studded snows, which I am NOT including with the sale. I will be replacing them with 4 older Cooper tires of the same size, unless buyer wants to purchase them separately.) Clean title.
I swapped the brand new battery out into my other vehicle, so the Jeep has to be jumped, but it starts right up and drives fine, other than a bit of rubbing.
There WERE a few issues with the vehicle, which I was in the process of addressing when the accident occurred, and I will list them as completely and honestly as I can:
1. The spline/connector on the front drive shaft slips, so it makes a noise when you engage 4wd. My mechanic told me it's not a big deal to replace.
2. There's an error message that says: "Coolant Sensor Bad". The coolant sensor has been replaced, and my research suggests that the problem is a faulty solder contact in the diagnostic readout on the console, but I have not gotten around to removing it to check.
3. Had an intermittent starting problem that we suspected was related to chassis ground. To test this hypothesis, I ran an old jumper cable from the battery ground, through the firewall, and clamped it to the seat frame, and that did solve the problem, so will need to make a more permanent connection underneath.
4. Hatch shocks are shot.
5. I removed the aftermarket radio I had in there and put the original cassette/cd unit back, but it has a broken knob.
6. There's a code coming up that indicates a 3-4 shift modulator (which can be replaced without removing the transmission). It's been there since I installed the transmission, and the transmission shifts fine, so I pretty much ignore it and figured I'd take care of it the next time I had the pan down for normal trans maintenance.
I think that about covers it. Drivetrain is strong and reliable. Suspension is good.

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:
Lexus gets top brand marks from Consumer Reports; Ford, Jeep hit hard
Tue, 25 Feb 2014Consumer Reports has released its 2014 Car Brand Report Cards, with Lexus again reigning at the top and doing so with the same industry-topping score of 79 that it registered in last year's Report Cards. This year, the institute credited its lineup for being "usually quiet, comfortable, and fuel-efficient," noting it's the only brand on the list "to achieve an excellent average overall reliability score." The Car Brand Report Cars list is meant to rank the best all-around vehicles based on CR testing and reliability results tallied by subscribers it surveyed. Each brand included must have sufficient test and reliability data for at least three models, a standard which left out 11 marques including Fiat, Jaguar, Land Rover and Porsche.
This 2014 Brand Report Cars edition is the first of a new format in which sub-brands have been broken out from their parent brands, with Acura using this year to move up the leaderboard into second place with a score of 75 for its "reliable, well-finished and somewhat sporty models." The top three was rounded out by Audi, climbing from eighth to third by scoring a 74 for "well-crafted interiors, nice handling and good gas mileage." Audi scored highest in the road-test portion, its improved reliability aiding its rise. The top nine was completed by Subaru, Toyota, Mazda, Honda, Infiniti and Mercedes-Benz.
Ford and Jeep weighed in at the other end of the rankings, Jeep taking the lowest overall score in the road tests and hampered by "a mix of spotty reliability." Ford was sunk by reliability issues with its MyFord Touch infotainment system which consumers found troublesome enough to negate its cars earning "solid test scores" for being "very nice to drive." Perhaps the rumored switch from Microsoft to Blackberry's QNX for the next generation SYNC will help them out. Cadillac's score also took a hit for infotainment reasons after it was the leading US brand last year, the CUE system in the XTS dragging Cadillac to the bottom of all General Motors brands.
Refreshed Chrysler 300 SRT won't be sold in NA
Mon, 20 Oct 2014It looks like it might be time to bid farewell to the V8 rumble from the Chrysler 300 SRT - at least if you live in North America. The reported change comes as Fiat Chrysler Automobiles reshuffles its ranks with the Dodge brand, re-absorbing SRT and building its muscular reputation with the Challenger and Charger Hellcat models. Meanwhile, Chrysler is taking a more mainstream approach, and that likely means the end of overt high-performance models from the division for now.
According to Automotive News, the 300 SRT will be discontinued in the US for 2015, but it won't be totally dead. Some right-hand drive markets will still get the brawny V8 sedan next year, a distinction that goes a long way toward explaining some spy shots we've seen recently.
The 300 SRT's North American demise probably shouldn't come as a total shock. In FCA's five-year plan, it says that the 300 is destined for a refresh to be unveiled later this year, presumably at the upcoming Los Angeles Auto Show. There's no mention of the SRT model in the document, though, which seems to signal its end.
