You are bidding on a one-of-a-kind vehicle. While most heads turn when a Jeep GRAND Wagoneer in pristine condition drives by, the sibling Jeep Wagoneer Limited (downsized XJ platform) garners less attention. Partly, this is due to the low production numbers. For the final year of production (1990), only 6,810 vehicles were produced. Of those 6,810, the Wagoneer I am selling is very likely the LAST of this year that has low mileage and is in pristine condition. The original MSRP was $24,795 (a hefty sum back in 1990). Currently, the NADA Classic Cars valuation is as follows: LOW Retail: $5,925 / AVERAGE Retail: $10,650 / HIGH Retail: $17,200. For those wondering about the reserve price, be assured it is under the HIGH retail pricing. Serious bidders for a collector's item are welcomed. This is NOT a vehicle suitable for daily driving or winter usage, as it will cause deterioration. This vehicle is destined for antique status in 2 yrs (2015) and should be treated as such. New battery, new tires, freshly refinished alloy wheels (to original factory finishing specs). One of the most STUNNING aspects of this 23 year-old vehicle is that it is still partially covered by a lifetime warranty -- 1990 was the 1st year that any manufacturer of a 4wd vehicle attempted anti-lock brakes. Jeep was the first! However, there were a number of bugs in Jeep's anti-lock brake system that were ironed out in a year or so of recalls. But, as a good-will gesture, Jeep provided all 1990 Jeeps a free lifetime warranty on the entire anti-lock braking system. During the 12 years I have owned the Jeep, I had only one issue w/ the ABS - in August 2004, the ABS Actuator assembly and motor was replaced free of charge under the lifetime warranty (what would have been a $1,000+ repair). The rear main seal has been replaced and is not leaking (a common malady on the XJ platform). Cosmetically, the vehicle is in pristine condition inside and out, with only some minor surface rust on the undercarriage. The headliner is in perfect condition. It has always been garaged. It is currently registered and insured as a classic vehicle with an insurance appraisal of $17,000. The vehicle comes with a 4" thick 3-ring binder that includes ALL mechanical history/records. Review my 100% feedback rating and bid with confidence!

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:
NHTSA upgrading Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango headliner fire probe
Wed, 15 Jan 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation into headliner fires experienced by a small number of Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango owners has been upgraded to an engineering analysis, the step before the initiation of a recall. In August last year the investigation began with 146,000 Grand Cherokees from 2012 after three complaints were received, but a report on Edmunds says it has been expanded to include 593,299 vehicles covering the 2011-2013 model years for the Jeep and the Dodge Durango, which uses the same headliner assembly, because of possibly 52 incidents of fire.
In some of those incidents drivers have reported a burning odor, smoke or open flames that were contained to the headliner or migrated to another area of the passenger compartment. The culprit has apparently been found: NHTSA blaming an electrical short in the sun visor vanity light wiring, which is routed under the headliner and held in place by three screws. Chrysler began its own probe into the issue when it was first reported and is still looking into the situation while, "fully supporting the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's investigation."
2014 Jeep Cherokee marketing launches with 'Built Free' commercial
Mon, 28 Oct 2013Now that the 2014 Cherokee is finally on its way to dealerships, Jeep is starting its marketing blitz for its new crossover, beginning with this 60-second TV spot, called Built Free, that premieres today. Set to a Bob Dylan recording, the ad spot discusses something we can all relate to - the feeling of being too busy and too cooped up with everyday tasks to really get out there and explore the world. But as Jeep says in the commercial, "You're still here. And you're still you. The horizons haven't gone anywhere."
Autoblog spoke to Kim Adams-House, head of marketing for the Jeep brand, who explained that this Built Free spot is "an anthemic piece" that "sparks the conversation" for the new Cherokee. As you'll notice, none of the new Jeep's features - its off-road systems, nine-speed automatic transmission, etc. - are mentioned in the ad, but Adams-House says that future marketing "will speak to more" of the CUV's highlights. Following this 60-second spot, 30-second commercials will launch that talk about some of the specific product features.
When asked if the Built Free campaign will include any throwbacks to the original Cherokee, Adams-House told Autoblog that while "we love that vehicle," the new spots are intended to carve out "a unique space for Cherokee in our product portfolio and marketplace." On that same note, don't expect any other Jeep vehicles to get the Built Free treatment. Adams-House said that while this ad "does resonate overall with the brand," it is solely intended to promote the new Cherokee.
