1988 Jeep Grand Wagoneer 5.9 liter gas V8 from North America
Summary:
Excellent
Faults:
The locks are starting to freeze up in the winter due to age. The rear window motor had to be changed a few years back, the gas gauge doesn't work properly, the headliner started to droop last year. Drives great.
General Comments:
I love my wagoneer. It's roomy, comfortable and reliable. Nothing seems to stop it. Its never too hot, or too cold, too much snow, too much rain for this baby it just runs. Its also very solid. A few months ago, a Nissan rear ended me at a stoplight. The Nissan's front end basically fell off... my Wagoneer had a small dent on its rear bumper. One secret about Wagoneers is that they are good city cars too. I mean they have a tight turn radius and soak up potholes really good. They drink a lot of gas.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

I also have an 88. When turning corners, it would cut off; turned out to be the carburetor... try rebuilding it or getting a new one.
The wiring on mine is also crud. I've looked at several other Grand Wagoneers, and it actually seems to be how they were manufactured. I'm currently looking for a new wiring harness, so I can replace all the wires under the hood.
I've loved these cars since I was a kid, and I don't think I'd ever have anything else.
