Die hard Jeep fan - 1999 Jeep Cherokee
By keljo1976 - January 14 - 7:43 pmAbsolutely love my Jeep, I bought it from the construction co that I work for when it was 3 years old & the lease was up. Had 60K miles on it then. Has 185,000 now, March 09. rarely had problems with it. Its been all over the beaches of NC & VA & thru the snow in PA. handled well in every situation. Other than changing belts when they get worn, and changing the oil faithfully, I dont normally put any money in it. I have had to replace a window motor & brakes once, but thats really about it. My daughter will be 16 in a year & I plan on handing this reliable car down to her. & she cant wait!! I wish there was another Jeep I liked as much as this one that I could replace it with.

XJ = Quality - 1999 Jeep Cherokee
By boardz - October 1 - 2:46 amI have owned several Jeeps and have been pleased with the quality, dependability, simplicity and utility of every one. My 1999 Jeep XJ Cherokee is by far the best overall vehicle I have ever owned. I would recommend any year Cherokee - that has been well maintained - to anyone that needs a dependable utility vehicle at a reasonable price!

My First Car - 1999 Jeep Cherokee
By Jeep-it - August 9 - 9:56 pmI bought my red, 5-speed Jeep Cherokee in Sept. 2006 and still have it to this date. I bought it with 85k miles on it and it now has a little more than 100k miles on it. In that time, the only problems Ive had are glitchy power windows and a cracked evaporator. I was slightly weary about buying a gas guzzling SUV for my first car but after driving it for a while, Ive found that it does real well. It gets about 19/20 city, but I find that keeping it just below 65 on the highway will get me 30 mpg for highway trips (and thats with a fully loaded college vehicle!). This has been and will remain a fun, reliable, and efficient first vehicle. I plan to hold onto this for a long time.

Pure Jeep - 1999 Jeep Cherokee
By Matt The Hammer - September 21 - 7:00 amIf the interior was too small, why did you buy it? Cherokees were a low cost SUV that were passed by the modern minivan/"SUV" that are being sold now. It was one of the last real SUVs. SUVs were not nice to ride - they were utility vehicles. That being said, my Cherokee does exactly what I need it to do. It rides nice, decent mileage, and can carry a few people. Jeeps are easy and cheap to maintain. Use aftermarket replacement parts (there are A LOT of them out there) and youll be happy with the Cherokee for quite some time. If you want a cushy, roomy, nice riding car: buy a minivan. If you want an SUV: buy a Jeep (except the Liberty).

Unstoppable - 1999 Jeep Cherokee
By 0wn - March 16 - 11:56 pmI bought my Cherokee from a salvage yard after it was hit on the front left wheel, ran into a pole or stoplight, and then flipped on its side. After that much abuse, I didnt expect it to start, much less be drivable. But amazingly, all it took was a new battery to get the Jeep started. I had a mechanic shop replace most of the steering system (the impact to the wheel bent a few parts), and then I replaced the panels that were damaged. Its quite amazing that I could pull the Jeeps exterior apart using simple hand tools and I was even able to salvage some the bent pieces. After repairing it, I never had any trouble. The engine will start in zero temperature and never causes problems.

Bring it back! - 1999 Jeep Cherokee
By Jarmbru - August 1 - 7:06 amBought this with 50K after riding through very rough terrain in a friends Cherokee that had 250K. Im now at 140K. I meet people all the time who tell me they are the best vehicle ever, and who have very high mileage. I use it on very, very bad "roads" in the hills of backwoods East Tennessee and also to commute and to haul electronic equipment. This Jeep does it all. Its true its not a pretty soccer moms car, so what, thats not what I want. Oh please bring it back! By the way, people around here love them and keep them forever.

1999 Cherokee Sport 4dr 4wd - 1999 Jeep Cherokee
By B Hiner - February 10 - 2:00 amMy Jeep is a company vehicle and I bought it off the lot new. My work causes me to travel on short notice at any hour and in any weather. I havent had a problem in 150,000. It has been very dependable and I have used the 4wd when needed. It has been maintained well but the only money spent other than maintenance was for brakes ( shoes and pads ) tires at and tuneup at 70,000. Have had the windshield replaced do to rock chips or cinders during bad weather. On long trips I would like to have more leg room but over all its been great. Maybe I got lucky but based on my experience I can recommend it.

Dream come true - 1999 Jeep Cherokee
By jepguy99 - January 20 - 2:40 amI bought this Jeep with 90k on it. I now have 125k just a year and a half later, I have had no mechanical problems whatsoever. I have put a 4 inch lift and 33 inch tires on this Jeep and I am still happy about the gas mileage. It takes me wherever I need to go. The engine is very powerful, I can spin the tires whenever I want. Ive wanted a Jeep since I could remember and I dont plan on ever selling it. If it gets totaled I plan on buying another one. I love it and recommend it to anyone.

By Rtmorey - November 25 - 10:00 amAn awesome vehicle! Reliable 4 wheel drive, great handling. Gas is a little ruff, but worth the price. I give the Jeep Cherokee a A+!

Nothing Can Replace It! - 1999 Jeep Cherokee
By Binski - June 22 - 3:53 amI have had my Jeep since my junior year of high school. It got me to and from college countless times, three moves, and even an annual 1,000 mile round trip vacation. This car has never broken down and I have never needed roadside assistance in the 8 years I have owned it. However, AC finked out at 90,000 and many minor repairs were also made, adding up quite a bit. But I cant complain, this car is the epitome of reliable- snow storms, white outs, blinding rain? No problem, always has got me through! The design has no bells and whistles, mine doesnt even have cruise control, but thatss what makes this car fun! Its a truck and meant to be simple.
