1989 Jeep Grand Wagoneer review from North America

Sending unit on the fuel gauge and oil pressure gauge had to be replaced.

Currently has an electric problem - there is a draw on a new interstate battery.

Frame needed sistering - rust discovered under the undercoating.

Usual slow windows/rear window dash switch problems. All corrected. Rear de-fogger never worked.

Clear coating is down right lousy. I'll have the car repainted this fall.

Transfer case leak.

Starter about to go.

Spark plug wires and pole piece had to be replaced. Never underestimate the value of good wires. Pay a little more for them.

Interior headliner is drooping.

From all of the above you'd think I would want to get rid of this car and not look back. Wrong. This is my second Wagoneer. I had to sell the first for financial reasons unrelated to the car.

I love these old girls.

I use it as a surfing vehicle. Drives on the soft sand like it's asphalt.

When I got this second Wagoneer, my wife called it the "Divorce Mobile". Don't let the name fool you - she loves it too. I will not sell this one.

Whoever owned this car before me didn't take care of her. Left outside with the windows down in the rain; never waxed; general maintenance never performed.
