General comments?

This car has been a series of headaches.

It was nice inside, the leather seats were comfortable. On the outside it looked attractive, but turn the key and the problems start.

It drove roughly, broke down a lot and cost me lots of money to keep driving.

Every time I got it back from the mechanics I thought I'd gotten past the problems, but they didn't stop.

It was a great off road vehicle, but I'm sorry to say it's tendency to be unreliable forced me to get rid of it thousands of dollars in repair bills later.

In my humble opinion, you purchased a true lemon. I own a 94 Sport with a total mileage count of around 180,000+, and it's still going strong, just as it was when purchased in 1995. Yes it's taken a bit of money to keep it on the road, but that didn't happen until recently (last 20k miles) and it was only in the range of two to three hundred dollars. It's had three sets of tires, the set that it had when purchased which were less than fifty percent, a set that lasted from 96' to latter 02' and the set that it currently has. The jeep is now driven daily by and older lady for on highway driving and does great. One in a thousand could be a lemon, mine isn't and I'm looking for another.
