New Toy :-D

Well, I finally retired my jeep. As it sits now, its got 290k on it, and I needed something that could tow a small trailer, so I decided to give it a break, and picked this up:











Its VERY clean, fully optioned v8 with a tow package. it is high mileage, but the way it was cared for, i have no doubts it will go for a long time. And I just couldn't beat the price I got it for. Fuel mileage is only about a half mpg lower than my I6, we'll see how it tows this weekend

Very clean, nice find. IIRC I read that the trannies fail more often behind the v8s.....318 or 360?

It's a 318 / A4, and yes, the trannies in them are known to fail. I already talked to Melissa about it.

its really not too bad. I put just over 80 miles on it today, and I parked it with an average of 16.3. My cherokee only got 16.7 usually, with a max of 20mpg coming back from VT at 55 mph

I only paid $1800 for it, its got 158k, new windshield, new battery, new brakes, fresh filled AC and decent tread left on the tires. i think it would have cost about that to get all the little things wrong with my cherokee fixed. The guy I bought it from is one of our racers, he bought it for his nephew from a customer of his at his garage, then found out his nephew couldn't have a car on campus his freshman year at school, so he gave it to me for what he had in it. Definitely no complaints

No thanks. Caprice is the king. If I ditch the Caprice, it wont be for a truck that gets worse gas milage and less interior room.
