97 Grand Cherokee - Buy?
Hello all,
New to this forum, have owned a Patriot since last summer and love it. Got to this forum from www.jeeppatriot.com. Anyway, I am looking at a second vehicle: 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee -135,923 miles. A reputable local dealer has the vehicle and has it listed for $3,200.00. My question is two fold: What (if any) reocurring problems has anyone experienced with this year/model? Is the price a good buy? I think this was somewhat of a transition year for the Grand Cherokee so I'm not sure what to expect. Any comments greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks.
Chris.

I have a cherokee but if its the 4.0 you cant go wrong. I hear the V8 that comes with those things is pretty good as well but I know that the 4.0 is amazing. They are very comfortable as well.

My '97 is great and has the 5.2L V8 w/AWD, and has 187,000+ miles. It's loaded, and I love it. It tows great is nice and comfy, rides good, but since I don't go off-road I can't say anything about that. That's a fair price if it's in good shape and has no problems. Some of the ZJs ('93-'98 Grand Cherokees) have electrical issues.
The 5.9L V8 didn't come out 'till '98, the only year.
And Welcome to CF!
