Barely anything at all over the 8 years.
New brakes at 120,000 kilometers, did them all. that is expected wear though.
The top engine mount collapsed at 163,000 kilometer (common problem) cost me $44 for the mount from e-bay and free labour while they did the serpentine belt at the same time!
New tailpipe just recently at 165,000, once again normal wear and tear.
I am discovering that the car is starting to burn oil enough that in 4 months, the oil will go from full to empty... is there any fix to this other than a new engine?
Also, the gear shifter sometimes seems difficult to get into first if the car is running and in neutral, what could that be?
Otherwise I am VERY happy with the car!
I only paid $11,000 for it brand new, it was a 2000 on the lot in 2001 so I got a great deal!
Manual is easy to drive, smooth and well geared.
Engine seems pretty happy. Not too slow but just fast enough to keep up!
It is the bare-bones package, no A/C, no power windows, doors, mirrors etc.
Paint looks great, LOVE the polymer!
It is amazing on gas, quite the difference from my 1990 Cherokee I had before!
Seats are a little hard but are holding up well.
Fold down rear seats are great, I managed to put a 42 inch LCD TV in the truck with the seats down and it was no problem!
I just need information on how to fix the oil leaking. It doesn't seem to be burning off (nobody ever sees blue smoke), so I am quite puzzled!
Hi, I am the original reviewer for this review and the reason that the oil level was going down is that the dummy at Pennzoil forgot to fully tighten the oil filter. Now that I did another oil change myself (that filter is hard to get to!) I made sure to tighten EVERYTHING and it seems to be back to normal. I am very happy with this car and recommend it to anyone on a budget.
