This vehicle has been pretty dependable.
I've had to replace a brake caliper.
I've replaced the hubs because the 4wheel drive stopped working.
The paint is chipping up in the driver's side front.
I have some front end trouble.
The driver's seat is very worn.
It's fairly good on gas considering the size of the vehicle.
The air conditioning does not work. The compressor has been out in it since
I bought it.
It sounds like you are stereotyping all '85 Broncos because of your experience. From where I'm sitting, you a mistake and bought something that had been thrashed around. If you would have looked it over and thought about it, you could have predicted every single problem you've had with it.
