Some advice on buying a Grand Cherokee

Jan 29, 2005 1 Replies

We have an old cherokee that is nearing the end of it's life. We liked it so much we want another but haven't got much to spend about $5000 so I was wondering what is the best year(s) to look out for and any problems I should be aware of? Thanks in advance

For that money look for a '96-'98 Grand Cherokee. Check for rust under the front doors. And make sure the transmission doesn't go CLUNK going into Reverse. Many people don't check Reverse when test driving a vehicle.

If you are towing look for the V8. If you are not towing the I6 will be fine, just not as quick as your current Cherokee.
