1985 Jeep Grand Wagoneer review from North America
"Love it and would like to keep it forever! Just too cool for off-road and cruising the beaches!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I bought the Jeep in 1995 as a second truck and it ran great for about 1-2 years when the transmission went out. I had it rebuilt, on the way home the engine blew! Had the engine rebuilt and since the large stuff was done, did a lot of upkeep to everything overall.
I originally bought it for $3500.00, but put about another $7,000.00 into it over 3 months. Ever since it was rebuilt in late 1996 it has run perfectly and is more reliable than my newer 1999 Cherokee!
General comments?
This is a classic Jeep and the first real Sports Utility Vehicle!
It's also a cheaper beach cruiser than a '40-41 Woody, but it's right up in a close second place! Just a way cool truck!
