Re: [MBZ] '88 Jeep Wagoneer on BAT
These are routinely selling for this much or more. There have been several that have sold for $50K and $60K. I agree its crazy. But, the market is so insanely hot for these right now. The Wagonmaster Pedigree (if true) will help the price go higher. I want one of these. But, I will never be willing to pay $40K or more.

Re: [MBZ] '88 Jeep Wagoneer on BAT
Theres a rabid following for those but this one seems over the top. Theres some outfit that buys low mile units like this one, refurbishes them to like new and they sell for this kind of money but a survivor, I dunno... They are real body on frame Jeeps with offroad cred but awful hard on gas. -Curt From: Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes To: Mercedes Discussion List Cc: Kaleb C.

Re: [MBZ] '88 Jeep Wagoneer on BAT
Those were the cars of swells back then, urban assault vehicles of the day for Mipsy to take the chirruns to soccer practice and her tennis lessons. I recall once being out at Great Point on Nantucket, which is like 7 or 10 miles or something out on the beach/sand tracks, you have to be prepared for eventualities because a tow back to civilization can cost big money. We were out there in my 87 Blazer, a full-size beast, very agricultural machine. I always took tools, boards, shovels, compressor, tow straps, gas can, etc. None of that took up much room but it was essential. We were out there for the day and good part of the evening, fishing, grilling, etc. Some swell in his yuppy clothes with Mipsy and the kids in their preppy dress haul up in one of those and park maybe 100ft away, unload their picnic hampers, etc. spread out the LLBean blankets and such and proceed to do their thing, eat some brie and stuff they bought at the high-end deli or got the cook to make something. They stay a coupla hours then load up and get ready to head out. I don't know if the guy didn't know how to use the vehicle or what, didn't engage 4WD or something, but in about 10 seconds he was mired up to the axles in the soft sand. He gets out and stares at the situation for awhile, he and Mipsy start trying to dig out sand with their hands which was not going anywhere. I had a beer while watching this spectacle, my wife finally tells me I need to go help the guy. So I wander over and chat with him a bit, it is is clear he is some Nooyawk yuppy banker asshole or something who had no fnclue as to what he was doing, but wanted to do it for the experience to tell all his nooyawk ahole buds back at the bank how much cooler he was than them. And get some use out of the expensive Jeep he bought for Mipsy. I asked him if he had a shovel (no), boards (no), had aired down his tars (??huh?), etc. etc. By this time he was feeling properly chastised so I says come with me, he takes off his Topsiders and follows me to the truck. I pull out the shovels (those little folding military entrenching tools, amazingly handy, you can make a hoe, shovel, pick, etc.) and some boards, toss them on the sand and say "Here ya go." He stands there and looks at them then finally says, "What do I do with him." By this time I am actually starting to feel a bit sorry for his sorry ass, so I open up a shovel and explain "you dig out the sand with this in front of the wheels and under the truck" then put these boards under your wheels and try to drive out of the holes you just dug." So he totes the stuff over, he and Mipsy start kinda halfassedly digging. I crack another beer and watch this for awhile, finally my wife is laughing and saying you really need to go help the guy. I was rather enjoying the show but my better self overtook me so I take him a beer and ask if he needs any help, by this time he would have paid me good money to solve his problem. He also really liked the beer, I think they had just brought some chardonnay or something to sip, WTF kind of dude does that? I think my daughter even came over to play with the kids or something to give Mipsy a break. So anyway after awhile we get the sand dug out, the boards under the tars (which I aired down to 8psi), I tell him to give it a go. Of course he did not put it in 4WD (I have no idea how he managed to get out there like that, but there you go), I think that vehicle had manual hubs, so he promptly dug the rear into the sand again, which we then proceeded to dig out again. By this time Mipsy was in a total state of pissoff at the guy, probably missing her spa appointment or something, so by then I was actually feeling sorry for him, what little manhood he had was now completely eliminated. Totally emasculated. So then with my expert instruction (including showing how to actually engage 4WD), and I might have put a tow strap on my truck to help pull him out, I don't recall, and another beer or two I finally get him out of the hole. He actually wanted to give me some money, I got all offended and told him no man this is how things work out here, everyone helps out, and tell him DO NOT STOP UNTIL YOU GET BACK so he wouldn't mire down again. We did not see the vehicle on our way back late that night, so I am guessing he made it, and maybe learned some man-lessons in the experience. Nooyawkers, Lawnguylanduhs, what a seriously sorry lot. --FT On 6/12/17 10:29 AM, Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes wrote: This is sheer madness. $40,000 for this clunky faux wood beast? http://bringatrailer.com/listing/1988-jeep-grand-wagoneer-3/ ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com -- --FT Winston Churchill: “Never give in--never, nev

The end of an era? I'm pretty sure that's the same body/chassis the Wagoneer had in the 1960s.
