1984 Jeep Cherokee Sport Wagon review from North America
"Buy a Jeep, you'll never go back!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I've had the clutch replaced.
I've also replaced the clutch master cylinder, and slave cylinder.
The lining inside the cab has started to sag.
The oil pan gasket is in need of replacement. There is some minor leaking.
There was some body rust that needed to be repaired, especially around the door handles. Along with minor rusting along the bottom of the doors.
General comments?
This Jeep is the best vehicle I've ever owned.
I purchased my Jeep 8 years ago, for the cool price of one thousand dollars. Included was a full tank of gas, a luggage carrier, a fresh oil change, great tires, a new radar detector, and a great big smile from the previous owner. I told him that I needed a vehicle that would be dependable. I had no idea what I was getting into. My friends told me to buy a car. Sometimes your friends are wrong. My brother-in-law was so taken by my Jeep he bought himself a 1989 Jeep, only in a different color. I don't think I'll ever drive anything else.
What I've put in for repairs is less than most people have paid in one year on their new car payment. And that includes a new paint job.
The Interior is still original, without a tare.
The engine is 99.9% original.
In simple words, It's the best that money can buy.
