General Comments:

You can expect some pains from such an old car, but not this many.

When it works I'd say it runs better than some other recent cars, which are mostly with cheaper build.

No pain - no gain.

I would probably still buy a more recent one. You feel safe in them.

Faults:

Nothing.

General Comments:

I have only owned this Jeep for about six months. In that time I have only had to put gas and oil in it. It runs like a champ both on and off road. Excellent for it's age. I can see getting another 200,000 thousand miles out of the engine and transmission.

Faults:

Back differential bust, replaced with a more recent Cherokee back axle which is also a little bigger.

Fan clutch went, replaced with an electric fan which has also unladen some weight off the engine.

Power steering resorvoir cracked, leaving me without oil.

Minor vacuum leaks, solved easily.

Headliner is dropping, will replace it soon "do it yourself".

Air con leaks a little condensation inside, this happens to new jeeps to and doesn't really bother me.

The minor oil spot on the floor, which any car this age would do.

General Comments:

I really like this car, not too bothered about it's little faults which any old car would have. it drives smoothly, isn't too expensive, quite comfortable and gives you that feeling of driving something serious, safe and strong. very good for its age.

Faults:

Front shocks needed to be replaced

Needed to replace thermostat

Needed to replace radiator due to corrosion

Needed to replace breaks/ 1 break cylinder

Needed to replace drive-shaft universal joints and flange.

Needed to repair an engine mount (my fault)

For some reason I am unable to get the "Maintenance Required" light to turn off.

General Comments:

I have to start off by saying that, despite the extensive "gone-wrong" list, this is an excellent car, which happens to be my first car. All of the repairs I have had to make were not out of the ordinary for a car of this age, except for the engine mount, which I broke hitting a deep pot-hole. Despite being 12 years old, it still has more pick-up and go off the line then a lot of other cars on the road. This car is tough, durable, and very worth having. I'm told that Jeep makes a good product, and plan on running this as long as possible. At $1900, I think I caught a bargain.
