1989 Dodge Raider review from North America
"This is the most reliable, dependable, vehicle that I have ever owned. What a classic!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced starter, alternator, radiator, various gaskets, seals, hoses, belts, brake pads, floor mats, etc... general maintenance.
General comments?
At 230k, I had a complete tune up. My mechanic commented that he would keep the truck running as long as I wanted to keep it. My reason for maintaining this excellent vehicle, is to allow my dog the opportunity to stick his head out of the slider windows. I always get comments about the classic window vents.
