John thinks I'm bonkers, but I prefer the eagle to >the XJ hands down. the XJ rules... but I wouldn't mind having a Gremlin... I drove to the car show in Chicago when they debuted the Gremlin... I wanted one... never had one... I doubt I'd find one I'd be mildly interested in now though... I don't even like Mustangs any more... I've been spoiled with Jeep WJs and Mercedes Diesels. :) and of course full size jeeps... BTW, anyone on the list interested in a Garvin Industries Wilderness Rack? It won't ship so it'd have to be someone up in the PNW... I just took it off my wife's '91 XJ... wow, that thing wasn't light... :) later, john - ------------------------------------------------------------------ http://www.WAGONEERS.com/ Snohomish, WA - where Jeeps don't rust, they mold...

Anyone heard of Seattle Autosport? The guy said that Phil Smart (the benz dealer in Seattle) recommended them. Anyway, he's firm at $9,900 for it, nada comes out with that being close to average retail... we'll see... :) has a couple issues... he's the 2nd owner, the orig owner was a dr. http://www3.nadaguides.com/Values/ValueCategoryReport.asp?UserID=540725F77C3F1&DID=37793&wSec=1&wPg=1207&CategoryId=1&MakeId=1115&VehicleId=10207&Year=1991&ColorId= I found an a/c pump and fan clutch for the 190D, it's coming next week... Not sure what to do at this point... not sure I should take on a car payment just yet, but if this car is nice it'd probably be a good plan. Any idea of mpg on the '91 300D with the 2.5LTD? john - ------------------------------------------------------------------ http://www.WAGONEERS.com/ Snohomish, WA - where Jeeps don't rust, they mold...
