Ya man its a jeep - 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By Cale Unruh - May 8 - 12:00 pmThis is a very good vehicle. It has lots of power, great for offroading,and its good for the highway. The person before me didnt take very good care of it but I have put some money into it and now it runs great. I had to replace the transmission, the water pump, and the alignment was a little screwy when I bought. Im very glad I bought it over a truck I was looking at. I recommend this vehicle to anyone who doesnt care about gas mileage. I get about 16 mpg.

solid 4x4 - 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By hunter - April 16 - 2:46 pmThe gas mileage and reliability were not what I had hoped for but it has performed the towing and off road job very well. It is comfortable on highway and the V8 has plenty of power. It now has 120,000 miles and has required no internal engine work. I have an "up country" suspension and limited slip rear end which makes it a good hunting vehicle.

keep your money - 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By kds2 - April 4 - 7:16 amI saw this vehicle and it looked like a good car. Well, I could not have been more wrong. At 90k the transmission needed a full rebuild. At 95k the 4x4 went out along with the exhaust needing replaced. Keep in mind this Jeep never went off road. We only drove it when there was snow in the ground. Shortly thereafter both axles needed replacing. By this point we had had enough. We sold it for $4000 under valuation just to get rid of the thing. Buying that thing was the biggest mistake we have made to date. It just made me realize how much I missed my Nissan Pathfinder. If I were you I would pay a bit more for the Pathfinder ... I think you will be happier in the long run.

Jeep Grand Cherokee with no complaints - 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By Weez - February 29 - 7:43 amOne of the better vehicles I have ever owned. It reminds me of my 72 Nova but without all the problems, and I never had to keep tools onboard. Nice firm ride on the road and great off road ride. Handles all the bumps and ditches with ease. The only complaint I have is the location of the overdrive cutoff switch. It was hard to see. I like this Grand Cherokee so much that I bought another in 2004.

A sad farewell - 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By Pat - February 13 - 6:40 pmIm writing as Im about to take up the Cash for Clunkers option on a new Jeep. I believe that the 96 Jeep Grand Cherokee limited must have been the miraculous model where Jeep did everything right for about an hour, and out came my wonderful old car. Ive got 152K on a 12 year old model. Not a speck of rust. Original engine. Everything works (with, of course, some replacement expenses over the years) except the passenger side seat heater gave up the ghost 5 years ago. Ive got the straight six, not the V8. It needed a little more room in the back, but I almost cant bear to part with it. Theyre just giving away too much money right now to say "no". Adios with a tear.

Its a Jeep Thing! - 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By Burkey - February 10 - 6:30 pmI bought my Jeep off a lease with 39k back in 99 for $17,000 and its been an awesome vehicle. I do a lot of bowhunting and take it off road and have never once had a problem getting stuck...itll go through quicksand! It has been a very reliable vehicle and have never had a major problem with it. At around 90k the electrical system starting getting funky...the radio took a lot of button pushing to get it from FM to AM and now the headlights mysteriously blink on and off sometimes in AUTO mode. Probably a short. I do love this vehicle. It has 103K now and Im buying another one for the wife. Very safe for the family and the dog can go in the back too. Jeeps are where its at!

Bring it on - 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By JSW - January 2 - 10:00 amThis vehicle has been problem free. I always service when recommend and change the oil every 3,000 - 4,000 miles. Like any vehicle, if you are good to it, it will be good to you. I have definitely received my moneys worth and will get a good price when I go to sell.
