Q: I'm looking at a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo with 106,xxx miles. How well do these hold up, and what should I expect to need to do? They are asking 5,000 obo, worth it?
A: The Jeep Cherokee is considered to be one of the best SUV's ever made, but they stopped making them in 2001. It drives a little rough on the road, but is great for 4 wheeling. Most of them have the 2/4WD system. The Grand Cherokee Laredo is not as reliable with all the extra bells and whistles. But it drives like a luxury car (if that's what you want) and most of them have full time 4WD. $5,000 is about the average price for a 2000 Jeep with 100k. Keep in mind that most vehicles will require some parts replacements after 100k, as things normally wear out (water pump, radiator, fuel pump, etc). If you want a Jeep, look for the 4.0 straight 6 engine. This thing is bulletproof. Most of them run for 300k miles without any problem. Stay clear of the limited and the V8.
