It's TRUE.......The jeep is too much of a burden for me....
It's a good jeep.....it just needs work...the kind of work that I don't have time for...
4X4 works, Automatic Trany iffy...(it wants to stumble once in a while, I think the torque converter needs replaced...or something), The heat and A/C works....It's cold in the winter and hot in the summer....maybe a little bit of work...and it can be sorted the other way around....It has a blown rear wiper motor....but a new wiper blade on it. The ceiling is sagging down like an old grandma's tit's....it has rust....major rust....too much for me...but maybe not enough for you...some people just wants a work horse of a car...the rear carpet is a mess...it's hauled way to many engines and oily parts....water leaks in almost everywhere..so a hard rain...it will get wet on the carpets....but not on the driver or passengers..... The Steering wheel is not indexed right...it's like your driving hard right all the time...but actually your going straight... I'm also thinking the head gasket might have blown...but it still drives and has been daily driven for the last 2 months at 80-100 miles a day....+ many more small problems...but it's a beater...and it could be a good truck/4X4/parts hauler for someone.
Now for the good stuff....
Has a new water pump, new serpentine belt, new thermostat, new altinator (about 2 years old...and still puts out 14.3 amps), new battery, new coolant resevoir, new electric fan with automatic temp sensor, and is adjustable for the heat you want to run in the engine, last full tune up 15,000 miles ago, last oil change.....last week, new oil filter, fresh oil, fresh coolant, Drivers floor board rebuilt, 131,500+ miles, decent tires all the way around, new front rotors and pads, rear need freshing up on the shoes...I think I have them in the garage and never got around to install them., Sony CD player, new speakers in the rear, new upper rad hose, and a lot of new parts that I forgot about.
The thing was getting 280 miles to 18 gallons last week...this week it dropped to 240 miles per 18 gallons....so it's still a beater...but not economical enough for me...I should be getting a civic Hatchback next week...and that will be my daily for a while...I'm pretty sure if the O2 sensor was changed...and some hoses for the emmision systems replaced..it would be a better at the gas pumps...I've just lost all intrest in the jeep...and I want it gone...
It's legal til Jan 2006 on the registration and I haven't gotten a notice for the emmissions yet...so it has time...I think... I'm going to have to dig thru all the shit I have to find the title...too many boxes still from the move.....or I might just request a new title just so I can sell it.
PRICE!!!!
I bought it 3 years ago for $3300, and I've dumped a lot of money into it to keep it running...and I have only put 19,000 accident free miles on it...and as far as I know...it has no accidents on it's record.
I was offered $1500 for it 5 months ago..and I refused it...but now...I'd prolly settle for $800 O.B.O. Trades are also welcome...I need a gas econimical car, that can make 100 miles a day for a few months, or parts for my Z, or the CRX....wheels...tires...racing seats....anything of value...even house building tools and equipment.... just ask...and I might barter with you..
Get it and go ROCK CLimbing and finish blowing it up
