Opinions on 2009 Jeep Cherokee

[McYeezy]

Hi Folks.

I'm looking at buying a 2009 Jeep Cherokee with low km's.


It looks bad arse and they're supposedly pretty solid off-road compared to its competitors.

I like the price tag on them and in the used car reviews they claim that the interior is of poor quality, fuel economy is bad and some can be duds which is bad when combined with expensive parts.

I couldn't care a less about interior quality and fuel consumption doesn't concern me too much either but I really don't want to buy somebody else's problem.

What's the general consensus on here for a 2009 Cherokee??

Alternatively is a 2012 Patriot a good alternative??

Am I looking at lemons or do you lot reckon they're alright??

Thanks in advance

Welcome to AJOR!

Suggest you look at the limited or overland versions. The interior is of much better quality and you will get the awesome quadra drive ii (electronic limited slip diffs front and rear and the NV245 transfer case) if you are going to really go offroad.

The hemi 5.7l is an awesome motor and uses about as much fuel as the 6 cyl. The 3.0 diesel is great as well, but if it goes wrong it will go really wrong.

There are a few WG and WH's for sale on here, I have a hemi one i will sell you for 11k

This really belongs in the WH section of the forum though, this section is more for introducing yourself.

He did enquire about a Jeep Cherokee, not a Grand Cherokee.
