Used car values are constantly changing. Edmunds lets you track your vehicle's value over time so you can decide when to sell or trade in.
My opinion
Have had some problems with transmission which would not shift out properly due to a faulty valve; also have problems with fuel pump and electrical system.
Unhappy in Ohio
Good looking, poor quality vehicle; high wind noise, replaced alternator, both front wheel bearings,radiator problems, key igntion lock went bad, seat adjuster handle broke,waterpump went bad,oil cooler lines leaked and needed replaced,turn signal electrical problems...I understand most of these common on all '98 Jimmys but GM refuses to re-call. All happened right after warranty (36,000 mi)

Great SUV
We bought the car in 2005. It has ran great. Just like every other car out there, we have had to make annual repairs. We only paid 2,000 for it new and put about 1,500 in it since we bought it. We had to replace the motor in 2007. We are not mad about it because these things happen. But we got one from a junk yard for $800. This car is up to 158,000 miles and it still works perfect. The only complaint I have is the four wheel drive stopped working about a month ago. All in all the car has been very good to us.

Powerful truck with fair gas mileage. However, if you plan on making repair yourself get a different truck. This thing is impossible to work on. As with a lot of American cars, the equipment is STUFFED in. Took 4 hours to replace a leaking oil line. Also very querky. Airbag light is on, dealer could not find a problem. Windshield wipers sometimes work other times don't.
