If you are looking for an affordable, good quality Jeep Grand Cherokee, then this may the one. This Grand Cherokee comes with the 4.7 Liter V8 engine has about 105,000 miles on it.
The Drive
I’ve recently had the opportunity to put this 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited through two road tests. Let me start by saying that I was pleasantly surprised about how well this Grand Cherokee drove and performed. I found the seats and the driving to be comfortable…which is important to me. The ride was smooth and it handled as expected for a sport utility.
I put its acceleration and braking to tests. The acceleration was great and smooth and the braking responsive and without and shuttering.
The Exterior
I did an up-close walk-around of the vehicle and don’t see any apparent paint or body work on the vehicle. I did run a Vehicle History Report and it showed No Accidents and No Title Issues. What I did notice were a variety of small scratches and dings on the vehicle. This is to be expected on a vehicle with just over 100,000 miles. As a matter of fact, I see a lot of vehicle with half the miles that don’t look as nice as this Jeep.
The tires are in fair sheep and will probably need to be replaced within the next 10,000 miles.
The Interior
The interior overall is in good condition. Most interior wear on a vehicles is found on the drivers seat and that is the case with the Grand Cherokee as well. The driver seat is show some wear, but not that bad. The rest of the seats are in good condition as well as the dash and the carpet in the vehicle.
I notice no cigarette or any other funny smells in the vehicle. I’m pretty confident this vehicle has not been smoked in.
Mechanically
Mechanically the Jeep Grand Cherokee has passed the Virginia Vehicle Safety Inspection. The only thing we had to do was to replace a broken motor mount. I did notice that the hood supports are not working so those should be replaced.
Price
By comparing pricing from four different sources (Edmunds, Kelley Blue Book, NADA, Manheim), the AMV (Average Market Value) on this Jeep is $10,887.50. The Jeep is offered for sale at $9,999 for a savings of almost $900.
Final Thoughts
For a vehicle with a little over 100,000 miles on it, this Grand Cherokee is in very good condition mechanically and physically. Of course it is not perfect…no pre-owned vehicle is, but other than a few very minor and inexpensive to fix issues this Jeep should make a great vehicle for anyone looking for a nice, quality, affordable sport utility.
