Hi all, I'm thinking of buying a used Jeep Cherokee and needed some advice. I'm leaning towards a 1997 or later model (airbags and the improved console would be nice). I needed some advice:
- I'm primarily concerned about reliability. It won't be a daily driver but I'd hate to be stranded out in the boonies on a weekend or on a long road trip. Are there any model years I should avoid? I plan on running a Carfax report, but is there anything else I should consider beyond that?
- Would a Jeep Cherokee with 140,000 miles on it be a breakdown waiting to happen? How reliable has the I-6 been in your experience (with average maintenance!).
- Does anyone know a reliable source for a used Jeep Cherokee in the NJ/NY area? If you know of someone that has one for sale, feel free to point them my way.
Thanks!
