1985 Jeep Grand Wagoneer review from North America
"Time + Effort + Money = One Great Vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I don't know the last owner of the Jeep, so I don't know all the work previously done. I've had problems with the electrical components, (power windows, locks, lights, etc,). This Jeep will need a new transmission and perhaps some engine work soon. The rear window and door does not work.
General comments?
Although many things need replaced on the Jeep, it still starts and runs. There are not many cars on the road that are over 18 years old, and this is one of them. These cars are built to last... well at least built to fix, then last. I bought this car in Oregon and the car was able to make a 2,500 mile trip across the country. I just wish they wouldn't have stopped making the Grand Wagoner. It is a money pit well worth investing in.
