1988 Jeep Cherokee Lerado review from North America
"Rugged, Reliable, Indistructable, Bullet proof"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I currently own a 1988, 1991 and 1998 Jeep Cherokee and can honestly say I haven't been able to kill any of them. I also use to own a 1987 that actually had 247,000 mile on it. I donated it to the special Olympics just because I figured something has to wrong sooner or later. It flew through the state inspection just a couple months before I donated it. Repairs have all been routine and expected for the miles on them i.e. brake jobs, tune ups, etc. the worst being a water pump at approx. 100,000 miles on the 1991 which now has 178,000 mile on it. But that one does have the notorious leak at the top of the windshield some where. But all and all I don't even want to begin to think what I'll buy next that will even come close to the reliability and ruggedness of any of any of the Jeeps I've owned.
General comments?
Most reliable, easy to work on vehicle I've ever owned. When you do need to make repairs the parts are very affordable. I just did my front brakes yesterday $53 including new rotors.
