@WunderOps 2 года назад

Here's one for you. A/C went out on my 1995 Jeep Cherokee. No money for a $800 repair, and I thought there was probably a leak, so I just drove it for three years until finally I was prepared for the worst. Took the car in and left it. While I explained the issue, I slipped up and told the guy that I wanted it fixed even if it costs $1200, due to a brain arimthmia I guess. So, anyway, I waited, and he called me back a couple of days later. Immediately I remembered telling him to fix it no matter the cost, so I prepared myself. At that he began, saying, "Yeah, umm sir, I took a look at the Jeep A/C." So, I gritted, and I'm ready now. Probably a blown head gasket too. The wallet is open. So, anyway, he says, "Well, yeah, uh, well........you, uh, had............TOO MUCH refrigerant in the system." PAUSE. "Yeah it won't work if there is too much." PAUSE. WAIT.....WHAT? My turn, "This is a thing???" "Yes sir, it's working now." WHAT? Thoughts race through my head, "Am I supposed to charge him for the extra he took out?...I don't understand what is happening right now. This is not how things work in the world. It's a joke, April fools, Halloween. WHAT? I hadn't had refrigerant added to the A/C system in years, and there is too much?" I knew it was leaking and trashed and finally would be paying for a serious repair. Crazy. 27 years with the Jeep, and I have still only replaced a water filter and brake calipers. Even still has the original muffler. Surprisingly durable with the special added extra of the Toyota transmission. By the way, the U.S. Forest Service and U.S. Parks Service made good use of these, too. This Jeep is a great beater if there ever was one!

The cali models have pre-cats right under the intake manifold and will boil/heat-soak the fuel rail and injectors when shut-off and will stumble on restarts and sometimes blow the check-valve on the fuel pump(thus have to prime multiple times before cranking).

@HR-wd6cw 3 года назад

I think people get in the mindset that new cars lose so much money in depreciation in the first 3-5 years) and that is true... but that only matters if you plan to sell it within the first 3-5 years. If you buy with intention of keeping it for more than 5 years (and more like 10+ years) it's not as bad and I'd say around the 5 year marker is where it doesn't matter whether you buy new or used. Of course if you're the type that likes newer cars but gets a "new" car every 2-3 years, then perhaps buying CPO or slightly used makes more sense. But if you plan to keep a car for a long time, sometimes NEW is a better deal in the long run, especially if you drive a lot. (People also forget that banks and finance will give you a lower rate on a new car --and sometimes CPO if the financing is from the mfr--than on a used car, in which case you might pay 5%-8% on a used car but only 0-3% on a new car, so that itself could make a used car cost more than a new car, especially if it's only a year or two old and very close to the price of the new car with 0% or 2% interest.

I have a 96 Jeep Grand Cherokee and use it as my winter beater. I've never had to stick hardly any money in it. Runs like a top. Great vehicle and will go through anything.

I’ve been owning these cherokees since 1993! I currently have a 99 2dr 4wd ax15 manual 4.0 SE stripper model that is getting a 4.6l stroker next week.

I paid $750 for a carburated 1979 Pontiac Catalina w/ a 2 barrel V8. Runs great, needs a brake overhaul. Car part prices are insanely cheap for carburated cars, lol.

I have a 98 2 door XJ with the Inline 4 and a 5 speed and the transmission in it is bulletproof. Has over 200k on it. Such an AMAZING car.

I have an 86 I4 TBI RENIX, the first RENIX year. Most 4.0L guys don’t believe that though lol. But it’s true.

Driving American lefthand drive vehicles in Japan was stressful. Most USA vehicles were as large of a bus. Never saw one of these righthand models in Japan. How interesting!

@sergioherrera3029 2 года назад

My family has had 5 XJ’s and still have 3 today. Although they aren’t the newest tech and fanciest Jeep out there, people are still interested and they’re still super reliable!

Bought mine in 1996 and drove it all over Death Valley, Moab, Arizona, Canyonlands, Colorado, Utah, Montana. It's been my RV tow vehicle since bought. Has 223,000 driven miles and 150,000+ miles RV towed. I keep it nice, it's my daily driver. Never torn down engine, original automatic transmission, transfer case and differentials. Best vehicle I've ever owned.

Had a '95 Cherokee Country 4x4 sold it in 2010 with 350k miles on it. The car never gave me any problems, just kept up on the maintenance. It ran and looked perfect the day I sold it.

RHD Cherokee parts are sorta available, had one for the same career choice, sold it with 300k km in good condition still. Now driving a rhd wrangler.

@JayGuz225 3 года назад

I've been driving my 99 Cherokee for 8 years now. AC works. Probably new heater core needed but other than that, all good.

@calbob750 3 года назад

In the rust belt the older Cherokee’s are heavy Bondo which rusts away after several years. Granddaughter has one because it’s trendy to have a Jeep. Looked new on the dealer lot two years ago. Frequent repairs.

Love my 95 XJ... bulletproof and nice to work on. Same colour and RHD (Australia) 350,000km, stock and purring. Driver-side door makes that same clunk, as they all do after a few years. :)
