1989 Jeep Grand Wagoneer review from North America
"An expensive love affair, but cheaper than marriage with a better return"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing serious so far. I have had the U-joints replaced in the front axle and the front driveshaft.
The rear window didn't work when I got it and it still doesn't.
I am having the gas tank support and frame repaired due to rust, a very common problem in the city because of all the winter salt.
General comments?
I love my Jeep. This is the third jeep that I've had experience with on a long term basis. This is however the first one that I own, I specifically wanted a Grand Wagoneer for the comfort and style - love it or hate it, it does evoke an emotion when you see it, more people tell me they love it, wood siding and all.
