1987 Dodge Raider review from North America
"This is an awesome vehicle for daily use or recreation"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water pump bearings went out at 210,000 miles, cheap to replace.
Alternator (super cheap rebuild, believe me!) quit at 210,000.
Air conditioner has needed freon since I bought it at 100,000 but I've never charged it, don't need A/C where I live.
General comments?
This was my first vehicle and it's ruined me for all other cars.
It's a safe, comfy little tank that requires minimal maintenance and goes anywhere.
