  96 Limited 4WD V8 - 153,000 miles - 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Trevor - February 20 - 6:33 pm

  I bought used in 97 with about 10,000 miles. 143,000 miles and many road trips later, I have had virtually no problems. Other than routine maintenance, Ive only done the front CV boots and an A/C recharge. This is the best car I have ever owned and I would definitely buy another. My only complaints are the gas mileage (14-15 city, 18-20 hwy), heated seats quit working last year ($1,000 to repair...dont need em that bad!), and some of my buttons on the radio dont work unless you press them really hard. Overall very happy with my Jeep throughout the years.

  I would buy another one - 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee

  This Jeep has very high miles, regular up keep no major problems, only ball joints at 175,000 miles, very comfortable ride, and everything still works. Always drove a Chevy, but thought I would try something else, glad I did, it has a v-8 and I get 24 average miles to the gallon according to the tripometer. The paint looks great everything is original except for the custom stereo.

  Still Going Strong Great S - 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By jeepkayakgrl - December 28 - 4:35 pm

  I have had a 1996 Limited Grand Cherokee since 2002. I like everything about it and it only has minor problems that need fixed. I have only had some major work on it done every few years usually the same stuff. This jeep stays outside year round in all weather conditions and it still gets me to point A and B without any problems. A jeep this age of course needs routine maintenance so its understandable when it has issues. I truly enjoy driving this jeep even today and I still have people ask me about it and people still comment it. I am sorry for all the owners out there that have had problems with theirs I will have this jeep till it stops running a truly great suv to own! Thanks Jeep

  96 Laredo 4X4 - 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By hartsjeep - June 7 - 9:14 am

  My Laredo has 186,000+ bought it for $1. Have had to replace about everything under hood. Normal wear and tear. Have had it for 5 yrs now and I love it. Been good to me. Went from VT to AZ spent 4 yrs their then AZ to VT again. Both ways towing a 4 wheel Uhal trailer. Not a hiccup or anything either way. I wouldnt try that with anything else. On our way back and forth we slept in the Jeep. The back is perfect size for two average sized people to sleep comfortably. LOVE MY JEEP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  Its a JEEP! (-: - 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Brandi - February 17 - 10:00 am

  Great vehicle. Bought used a year ago with 103,000 miles on it. Now has 130,000 on it and no problems other than preventive maintenance(things that need to be replaced at 100,000+ miles). Had 86 Cherokee with 230,000 when I got rid of it and FIL has 91 Cherokee with 250,000+ on it so I know I have many miles left. Regretted getting rid of mine til I got this one. Glad to be back in a Jeep! People who say otherwise should think about how it was cared for before making a judgement on quality. If well-cared for, will last for many miles.

  Reliable SUV - 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By tortislc - January 12 - 1:06 pm

  I bought this vehicle with 140,000 miles and it runs really good! I had a couple of sensors go out, but the dealer replaced them. Other than that, it is awesome! It got me around in the Blizzard of 06 in Colorado! Excellent sound system, love the leather, just looks like new! I will buy another Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited when the time comes and give this one to my son!

  Forever Reliable Plus Comfort - 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Frank Badolato - October 2 - 10:10 pm

  My Jeep has taken me through college and now with 4 children. I dont doubt that if I keep up with regular maintenance that it will easily last another 150000 miles. It is the only one of our cars we trust in all forms of weather.

  Great Ride! - 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By 1st Time Jeep Owner - September 22 - 10:00 am

  My Jeep has done everything Ive asked of it with only insignificant problems. Was skeptical of Jeep quality at first, and have only driven GM cars in the past. Now a big fan of the Gr. Chreokee. Ive replaced the stab. bar and tire rods at 90K and water pump at 105K. Nothing else has gone wrong and Ive driven this car long, fast and hard. And the heated seats in cold MI weather are great!
