“Just bought a 1998 grand cherokee 4l auto with 87000...”
★★★★☆
written by on 10/07/2009
Just bought a 1998 grand cherokee 4l auto with 87000 on it. Not in bad nick, bit thirsty on petrol, but I love it - its great for what I want it for, which is having my little girl in the back at a height that I can lift her out easily. And it was dead cheap!
Needs some bits doing on it - the hinge pin on the drivers door needs attention, and the coolant sensor will need replacing at some point - but I knew that before I bought it - and I don't care - its a brilliant buy. I';d certainly get another one - newer and diesel maybe though.

“Stay away from the 4.7L V-8 engines, and you can have...”
★★★★☆
written by MG McAnick on 14/07/2004
Stay away from the 4.7L V-8 engines, and you can have a good Jeep. Find a Jeep Grand Cherokee SUV with a 318 or even a 383. The venerable 4.0 "Nash" inline six is also good. Power is adequate, if not mind blowing. It'll still tow a good sized trailer. It will get about 2MPG more than a V-8.
Handling is just fair om GJCs, but it is offset by the vehicles sheer climbing ability. While the JGC will not actually go ANYWHERE, it will get you into some unbelieveable places (and back out).
The leather interiors of the Jeeps I've had were all quite good, even at 160,000 miles.

I suspect the gentleman from the U.K. bought a vehicle that had been abused. All of these problems, obviously, did not occur after two weeks but were present at the time he bought the vehicle. Autos can be trashed and sounds like this one was. I have had good performance and reliability from all my vehicles, including my Jeep, but I do tend to them. Machines have to be maintained and engines do not last forever.

I have a '98 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo, 4.0L Inline 6. The car has 160,000 miles and runs just like it did when I drove it from the dealer.
<br>
<br>Had to replace the exhaust header, brakes, normal repairs. In the last 2 years I put maybe $ 1,500 for repairs and maintenance. It beats 35K for a new one.
<br>
<br>Yea, the rear wiper motor just went and I need to fix that and the A/C is concerning me right now but all in all--great car.
<br>
<br>I will make the repairs and give the car to my daughter who is at MSU. I'll bet the engine is good for 250,000 miles. It is too bad it is not offered in the Cherokee any longer. This is our 3rd of 4 Jeeps in the family.

You bet the 4l engine good for 250,000 miles. I have a Jeep XJ (1994 Cherokee) now up to 265,000 with no problems. I decoked it 100,000 ago (should have replaced the exhaust valves but didn't as there was a long order time). Those engines had a superb reputation.

I am from the UK and have purchased a 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 4.0LITRE PETROL STRATE 6 with 51.000 miles. I have had the car for 2 weeks and the following has had to be replaced
<br>Front brakes
<br>front off side light cluster
<br>near side window switch replaced
<br>radio decided to pack up
<br>controls on the steering wheel dont work
<br>both front heated seat option dont work
<br>wing mirrors dont fold in
<br>front off side break caliper replaced
<br>heating is intermitant. when being on for 20 minutes the vents decide to blow out cold air
<br>under bonnet light dont work (not the bulb)
<br>has a constant pull to the left hand side
<br>cruse control dont work
<br>AND THE LIST GOES ON AND ON AND ON.................
<br>surely in this day in age a company as large as these should NOT be having these problems.
<br>When is someone going to take note that when you pay a large amount for these types of vehicles you shouldnt be having these problems. TOYOTA, MITSUBUSHI, NISSAN, AUDI, VW, etc etc dont have these amount of problems with their vehicles so why do these
<br>
<br>If you have £1,000,000 and more to spare you may be able to afford to keep on replacing the parts that break down time and time again......
<br>
<br>I would strongly not recomend this vehicle. if you have £35.000 for a new one i would buy something else.......................

Most if not all of these faults must have been there when you bought it. While not everything can be checked when you buy, the lesson is to to take nothing for granted when you buy used, whatever the brand name.
