An oldie but a goody

My Jeep is 25 years old and still going strong. I’ve never had any major trouble with it I recently had to replace the radiator, but that’s after 25 years. I think the biggest problem was with the four wheel drive about six years ago which I had removed. But it’s been very reliable and I’ve certainly gotten my money’s worth. I think that buying a more expensive better made car is worth the price if you plan on keeping it for a while. Cheap cars don’t last.

A family memory since 1997 and running well thanks to Gibbons

My Jeep has served us well for so long. It has 4 wheel drive so is safe to drive in poor weather conditions. I has great interior space for delivery of materials. It has been maintained so well by Gibbons

Fabulous vehicle

The Jeep Grand Cherokee is a great vehicle in so many ways. It seems to be well built. At 248,000 miles with very little major repairs since I purchased it at about 160,000 miles. The muffler recently rusted through. Radiator had to be replaced but only because it was in an accident that damaged the radiator--- lasted a year after the accident before the radiator went. The engine is powerful.

Vehicle review

It was a good vehicle for the price. Kent Beck is the only car dealer that I will buy a vehicle from and not take it to another mechanic to have it checked. They are upfront and honest about the condition of the vehicles that they sell. Won't deal with anyone else.

The best suv

I don't plan on buying any other vehicle than a Jeep,simple as that.I fell in love the first time I drove it. I wouldn't trade for anything. I would however buy another Jeep or ten if I could. I'm a Jeepster for life.

Excellent!

My car's been handed down to me by my dad and for a 1997 model, this car's still great! I would have given it a 5 star if it doesn't take up a lot of gas, which is normal for a car that has survived this long.

Great rig

I have a 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee limited with the 4.0l. I bought for 700$ with 196,000 miles and it now has 203,500 miles. So far so good for a beater rig. It’s actually pretty lugerious for the year and I can take it any where. Only problems have been electrical

1997 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO ... STILL ROCKIN' IT - 20 YEARS LATER!

Some months back, I was heading out shopping with my sister. I looked over at her, and she was flipping the passenger side visor up and down, up and down, up and down. "What are you doing?" I asked. She replied "How come your vehicle is so much older than mine, and your visors work, and mine don't?" I replied: "Because your vehicle is a Murano and mine is a Jeep!" End of story.

Great vehicle

I like how much room there is inside, I like my comfortable leather seats, I like the 4-wheel drive although I wish it wasn't all wheel drive all the time. I pretty much like everything except the all-wheel-drive all the time.

Natalie is tops

The vehicle is nearly indestructible and responds well to normal care and maintenance and seems to perform equally well on highways and back roads. The aging princess does tend to "shop" garages for needs on occasion.

Very reliable vehicle to drive

I have driven this vehicle for more than 19 years, assassing more than 285,000 miles. The engine has never had any major repair. Pumps, pullies, plugs and parts have been replaced from time to time, but the heads have never been off the engine. Great vehicle to own.

Hands down the best vehicle for all weather conditions

I have driven through some deep drifts in weather that we in public safety tell people to stay home in, but when you are relied upon to be there for others, you just have to make it in to work. I drive a trail rated, 5.7L Hemi and wouldn't even consider anything less. I am on my 4th Jeep and love it. It has power when I need it, but the engine displacement feature gives me the gas mileage I want. The inside is roomy, stylish and luxurious. Won't drive anything else.
