1991 Jeep Cherokee Laredo review from North America
"Good, but only if you are mechanically minded"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The power steering pressure hose, the clutch slave cylinder (as well as the clutch pressure plate), brake calipers, starter, alternator, clutch master cylinder, most of the gauges have needed replacing (although ordering a used cluster is not very expensive).
Although I haven't replaced any other parts, this seems to be a vehicle that needs a lot of TLC, which may not be a problem if you like maintaining and repairing your vehicles.
General comments?
Good SUV, although it does require a lot of maintenance.
The 4.0 I-6 is an amazing engine, I have never had any problems with it. I live in the arctic, and I can leave my Jeep for weeks and still be able to start it (even in -50 celcius temps).
If you are going to buy one, make sure you get a good mechanic to look over it.
