  Just bought a 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo V6 4x4. I've never owned a Jeep so I would appreciate everyone's help. I've always used Premium gasoline 93-94 grade for all of my vehicles.

The current deal I can get on a 4wd Laredo with nothing but red paint is $28,100 after my $4,000 rebate. The 2011's are selling at about MSRP, but I expect them to go down later in year ...

  Hi schneller78. Unfortunately, Chrysler is not currently providing any lease support on the 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee. As a result, it's not a very attractive SUV to lease right now. If you're set on leasing, you probably would be better off going with a different truck. If you really want to get a Grand Cherokee, I personally think that you'd be better off financing it using Chrysler's current special rates of ... Read More

  The 2011 JGC will be the only luxury cuv that offers V8 power and RWD. To me, that's significant. I would be willing to bet that the pricing will be about the same as the 2010s, comparably equiped. Even if Chrysler goes belly up, somebody will want Jeep.
