88 toyota corrolla 370,000+ miles and maybe $400.00 dollars extra in basic maint since new. the t/o bearing was whining a bit at 350k so I replaced the clutch While in there and it looked like it had half it's wear left. total cost t/o bearing and clutch kit was 100.00
As For 96 Jeep Grand Cherokee limited (v8 4 wheel drive)
43k=rear brakes
53k= front end axle carrier bearings $700.00 and front brakes and $150.00
57k= water pump $70.00 (did it Myself.......4 hrs of pain in the ass)
68k=A/C evaporator $700.00 (1 year warr.)
85K= Pot metal power steering pump bracket breaks (car down for 3 days until the dealer can get one $21.00) "we usually stock them because the break all the time" Still made of crappy pot metal.
91K= A/C evaporator again (another 700.00 because out of warr)
the rear end has been making noise and will need to be rebuilt soon. probably about 600+
I like the power and all the toys but will never get another jeep.....ever!
the standard dealer answer for all of these things is "well that happens."
BTW the welds that hold the doors on the cherokee are welded to thin sheet metal and the hinges (doors) can fall off in your hand. I have a welder that has replaced several. I mentioned that to him because it happened to friend of mine and he told me about it.
If you don't think that happens call a dealer and say that it has happened to you and see if he is surprised...........because it happens you know.
