A used car from heaven

First and foremost we should all be cognoscente of repairs that are caused by the user. I bought this car with 110k miles and it is now at 221k with minimal work required. I do all of the standard maintenance myself. Religious oil changes, fluid checks, inspections. I do have 2 codes reading on my car but it still runs great and it will only cost a few hundred to fix. This was my second car, I bought it for 3000 dollars used knowing the owner was good with maintenance. My AC does not work but I can fix that my self. The overall value this car has brought me is amazing. I bet I can get this beast to 300k miles!

Jeep Cherokee Laredo 2001 - Low Quality

The problem is with the quality. My Jeep has reached 99,300 miles and the latest problem is that the transmission is gone. Reverse gear stopped working. It will be a $3,000 repair charge. Other Issues : Automatic window motor cables broke - 5 times. Each repair cost $350-$400. The rear trunk door springs broke, cost to repair $250. The gear shift had problems due to which it would skip gear one. After numerous trips to the service shop finally they fixed the governor and some part for $800. A certain speed sensor would switch of the power at full speed in the highways. The sensor replacement cost over $1,000. The relay switch for the cooler broke - $250. And there are more things.

Caddy with 4x4 and a Mind of its Own

I bought my JGC 4.7L Limited with 100k miles on it. Fell in love instantaneously with the plush leather seats and all of the luxury amenities. I put 60k miles on it and it nicked and dime'd me the entire time. The car left me stranded numerous times, and had to replace many sensors. I was so broke repairing the essentials, before I knew it the dashboard lights were burned out, the heated seats broke, 2 windows motors went and the climate system was shot. Not to mention the car had a mind of its own, the memory seats would adjust to whatever it wanted, the car alarm would go off constantly, but the final straw was when the catalytic converter code came up. Miss her though.

Many problems at 122K

Every week or so, I have another problem with this car. In the past two months alone, my check engine light went on ($400 fix), my control module computer went haywire ($140 to diagnose and reprogram), my alternator died ($160 - the shop did the labor for free). Now my transmission is dying and I'm selling the car at a big loss just to get rid of it. On the rare occasions it does work, it still has the infamous rear-end clunk, is way too top-heavy, and costs a ton of money in gas. If you're looking for a reliable car, look elsewhere.
