This car is right up my ally. I currently drive an Eagle Vision (Ok, it's a Dodge Intrepi... err Chrysler LHS) and I'm about to head up to northern PA to check out a 91 AMC Jeep Grand Wagoneer. Nice Price was simple for me on this one.
@gman1023: Got it from my grandmother, only has 50,000 miles on it, was kept in a garage in Arizon for about half of it's life. The 3.5L Chrysler V6 really is bulletproof too.
@egoods: Not bad. They were really neat cars in their day. Seemed like a great deal, too. My dad had an early production '93. The 3.5 V6 was bulletproof but that's about all that was on that car. That, and the fact that Chrysler did not support their dealers at all with those. Lots of stuff went wrong and the dealers were clueless as to what to do. It was my parents' first and last Chrysler.
Great color. Regularly used. 4.2 I-6 goodness. No apparent rust. Almost completely EMP proof. No need for an OBD II diagnostics. No $19,800 hood replacement after a deer strike. Extremely nice price.
Great one, G! If I had the cash and the rest of the week off, I'd be halfway there by now (Although I must confess, I'd try the old "wave $2K under the nose of the seller" trick, because I can get nearly as nice examples for as little as $1K. Some moron at the dream cruise had an $8K price tag on this one...

In the bizarre and possibly fictional place known as Colorado, Eagles are actually chick magnets. No warranty as to the kind of girl you'll attract, but it's impressive nonetheless.
I can state with experience that:
It will get you to the baselodge through 18 unplowed inches of upstate NY snush.
It will pull stumps out of the ground with style and nonchalance.
It will require you to jury rig replacements for various control systems that break with clockwork regularity.
It will disappoint and possibly endanger you when trying to pass anything at a speed over 35.
It will form a close bond with your heart and will make you kick yourself endlessly after selling it.

They are really common in the high-country, for good reason.

Oh, and good luck on the Wagoneer.

So, we've got it narrowed down to Disneyland or Knoxville to buy an AMC.
Knoxville! Knoxville!
I concur.

A no-brainer. This thing will get you to the moon for at least $200 billion cheaper than the pros.
