Jeep Grand Cherokee Usados en Venta en Denver, CO

Our 2001 Grand Cherokee has been an absolute pleasure to own and drive. Comfortable on the highway and confident on the trails, this Jeep is at home anywhere. We take this vehicle on camping trips into the mountains of Colorado. Four-wheel-drive with low range has never let us down. We can go everywhere we want to go without worry. Snowy roads in the winter are equally easy; engaging "full-time 4WD" is as simple as pulling a lever. This Jeep has an excellent four-wheel-drive system with the ability to select 2WD, part-time 4WD, full-time 4WD, neutral, and 4WD low range. The difference between part-time and full-time 4WD is whether or not the front and rear axles are "locked" together. Part-time 4WD locks the axles, forcing them to rotate at the same speed. Full-time 4WD sends power to... (more)

Historia

On an off-road trip that included a Range Rover, we had to use the Grand Cherokee for an emergency run back home to get a replacement for a broken air spring on the Range Rover.

A Favor

The 2001 Grand Cherokee is very reliable. Over the course of 15+ years of ownership, we have had no significant problems. Maintenance is easy and inexpensive. The transfer case (four-wheel drive control) is easy to operate and understand.

En Contra

Appropriate tires for this vehicle are not cheap. We probably could have purchased cheap, street tires, but that makes no sense when you have such an off-road-capable vehicle. The four-liter engine is a workhorse, but it feels slightly underpowered at altitude.

2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee - So Many Issues, But I Love This Car

I love the power of this vehicle's v8 engine. I love the look of the vehicle - not too sleek, but not boxy. It drives pretty smoothly. It has held up well for being 15 years old. The fuel economy probably wasn't horrible at the time it was made, but 17 miles per gallon isn't very good in comparison with new cars. It's possible to fit a lot inside of the vehicle, and the vehicle itself is very versatile.

Historia

New Hampshire winters and rear wheel drive vehicles don't normally get along very well, but we've had some good times getting the Jeep unstuck from snow and ice. The car does its best and fares the winters pretty well, all things considered.

A Favor

The car is still running after almost 200,000 miles. I love the extra features such as the built in radio buttons on the steering wheel. The V8 gives it a lot of power.

En Contra

The gas mileage is not great - it gets about 17 miles per gallon. There have been a lot of electrical issues with the car, including but not limited to the brake lights, the tail lights, and a window motor. Although the car is an automatic, sometimes you have to take your foot off the gas to let it shift like you would with a manual. My model doesn't have 4wheel drive, which is very unfortunate. Mine also burns oil at a ridiculous rate. The plastic headlights have faded in the sun significantly, so I would like to see a better quality plastic used so the headlights don't dim over the years.

2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee - Jeep Grand Cherokee

I initially loved this vehicle! I have loved Jeeps for a long time and I went from a Cherokee (which I loved!) To the Grand Cherokee. It's bigger than the Cherokee, which was important to me because of car seats and baby gear. It has a sun roof and mechanical front seats. It has a luxury package, so it's all leather, nice stereo. Unfortunately, I found out recently that the Grand Cherokees are prone to a few issues. For example, my driver's seat is broken. There's bracket underneath that breaks pretty regularly and costs about $600 to fix. And of course with age, the door sensors have started to go, so now when I lock the car it makes a really obnoxious sound. Otherwise, it's a great vehicle that's been very helpful.

Historia

I can't think of anything specific as far as fun moments in the Jeep. I've enjoyed driving it, especially since my daughter was born. The Cherokee was so much more cramped with all of her stuff in there, it's nice to have the extra space.

A Favor

There is more room. Heated seats! Sun roof. The back seat splits to fold down. Working air conditioning. All leather. Electronic adjustable front seats.

En Contra

The drivers seat breaking. It's a common thing for the Grand Cherokee, but Jeep won't issue a recall. The door sensors going out. The back passenger door has to be manually locked. Sounds loudly obnoxious when it's locked. The only external key hole is in the drivers door. Does NOT get good gas mileage-about 16.
