Question

I'm sixteen and im looking for a decent used jeep cherokee. What would the price range be?

Answer 1

don't buy a Jeep

any Jeep

unreliable

expensive to own and repair

if you like mudding get a CJ but otherwise run from Jeeps

don't believe it? buy one but save some money for repair bills.

Answer 2

I'd say under $1500, for an older model.  It will most likely have 130,000+ miles on it but just make sure it runs well.  don't buy anything under $800 because it will most likely be a junker.  For a slightly newer model or an older one with less miles the price may go up to $2500.

Answer 3

Good Choice, I have a '96 and I love it. These were made from '84 all the way to '02, so you have a wide range. After the '96 model year, they "redesigned" then, but really, they didn't do much to them. People use this as an excuse to charge more for the '97-'02 models, so stay away from those. You'll get ripped off. Also avoid the pre '87 cherokees b/c they used ancient carborator technology which is pretty much extinct today. A good '87-'96 cherokee will go anywhere from $1000 bucks to over $3000, it's a very basic, plain vehicle. Unfortunatly, the $$ you will save on the initial cost of the car you will spend on gas, even the 4 cyls will never get over 20 mpg. So yeah, a stock, high mileage cherokee, probably $1000, if your going for the redneck look and you want a customized one with big tires, exhause, etc. it will run close to $3000-$4000.

If you prefer manuel, definatly go for it, the manuel transmissions are basiclly bulletproof, the autos have problems. If your planning on towing, go for the inline 6 engine, if not the 4 would do just fine. Good Luck!
