I bought a 3 hand 98 - standard model 5 months back. The 1st owner kept it in standard condition. The 2nd owner jazzed it up with a pajero look. He’d changed the entire look of the vehicle. Fitted a gull wing to make a 5 door model. Brand new Michelin 235 tubeless tyres. Good Dupont paint. Foam leather seats. Wooden steering wheel. Amazing from the outside. It steels the looks on the road.
The problem is the inside. Something always goes wrong somewhere. The Power is OK. The drive is very comfortable. But I’m not able to trust this machine and take it for a long long drive. Infact as a family, we had gone for a holiday to a nearby hill station. I chose to take my esteem rather than the sierra. It does pain... but some how I’m not able to trust this vehicle., I get a feeling that something might go wrong somewher.
From the time I’ve bought this, I’ve changed the radiator, electrical system, little work on the suspension, battery... For a month now, its not given me a problem... prayiung that it would remain that way. But this is as far as I’m concerned.
To the man on the road, I’m on one of the stylish cool SUVs in town. I do not know if its the same with other cars, or I’m the only guy with that problem... Can some one respond plz
