1985 Jeep Grand Wagoneer - $39,900 - Bemus Point, NY - Part of a 16 piece ultra low mile Grand Wagoneer grouping on sale now is this a 32,995 Actual Mile STUNNER.Carefully looked after and maintained since the original day of purchase, this remarkable piece is one for the record books and those records and books include the following.... The original Window Sticker, Owner's Manual, Warranty Booklet, Jeep VIP Booklet, Jeep Information Handbook, warranty service & recall documentation and equally important there is service/maintenance invoices going back 25 years. Those service invoices include EIGHT THOUSAND DOLLARS in new Jeep dealer service receipts for electrical and mechanical works performed over just the last 2 years. The past owner was a true enthusiast and had 137 vintage motorized contraptions to pick from so the miles on this buggy, that he kept at his Florida vacation home, remained few. Upon his passing, his widow made the choice to sell this Grand.
The Blue exterior paint appears to be a fairly recent respray and is just a shade lighter than the original flavor. That color and the light wood siding which was reapplied at the same time work well with each other. Upon close examination the slim wood trim boarding the wood siding could use a tightening to the sheet metal in a few spots but that's nothing out of the ordinary for stock or restored examples. It is just affixed with glue and is a easy reseal. This is one excellent low mile Jeep. Not mint, not perfect but excellent driver quality and fitting an example that has traveled just 1,300 miles per year since new. The original aluminum wheels look outstanding and the traditional whitewall tires make a very handsome traditional looking package.
The Grand Wagoneer's cabin is as appealing as the exterior. The original honey leather seats show only light wear and comfort marks, about what you would expect for a supremely cared for low use classic. From the headliner to the carpets, she is in great condition. The air conditioning/ heater, power windows and power seats are operating correctly. Only the power door locks and cruise control are not functioning all of the time and the side exterior mirrors need to be adjusted manually.
The 5.9 Liter V8 is running as well as it ever did and the automatic transmission shifts through the gears effortlessly. With $8,000 of recent maintenance invoices you should expect nothing less. The undercarriage is in strong condition, a reflection of this Jeeps 25 years spent in the deep South. Yes, on top of all the other good news about this '85, she is also a Southern vehicle. So take a close look at those undercarriage images as there is nothing to be hidden there. Carfax confirms the miles are actual and no accidents have ever been reported. Likewise decades of service invoices confirm maintenance and original miles. Classic Gentleman at Fluvanna Auto Sales has priced this very agressively @ $39,900. A 32,995 actual mile Grand Wagoneer comes on offer very rarely, next to almost never actually and when they do, most are priced dramatically above the asking price here.
In the event you wish to organize a personal inspection ahead of purchase, the Jeep will enthusiastically be made available for review. Serious buyers looking for other years/prices/colors are welcome to ring now for a complete rundown of available inventory.
