1989 Jeep Grand Wagoneer review from North America
"Bargain-priced automotive icon"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Magnetic strip in the distributor failed which caused the vehicle to stall.
Engine pings after long distance driving.
General comments?
This classic 4x4 gets approving looks wherever it goes. It feels rock solid in most driving situations.
Everything has held up rather well considering its age. Cost of repair isn't out of line. I don't see me parting with this lovely for quite some time.
