UPDATE 8-7-2019. Odometer just rolled over 224K... no significant issues. Muffler replaced at 220K, HID front light bulb replacement, new battery (alt tested and working within specs). Gas mileage as noted below. Oil consumption is 1 qt / 2K miles... not bad considering i run the HEMI hard sometimes. Did some real off roading last spring and the Quadra Drive 2 system worked flawlessly... this truck can keep up with any Rubicon!! I continue to recommend this Jeep. I purchased this car in Feb 2018 as the 2nd owner with 195,000 miles. Previous owner drove the car nearly 20K/ year and obviously garaged the car for the majority of its life. Prior to taking delivery the car required rear end work which was included within my purchase price and the car needed a new cat and o2 sensors. I also was able to negotiate 16 new spark plugs and new brake pads all around. My purchase price including the work listed, $5,500. I like this truck a lot, the HEMI has amazing power but that comes at a price at the pump... be warned you aren't buying an economy car as i'm averaging 14 city / 18 highway. But... this truck moves! Tight suspension, smooth transmission, and the engine runs perfectly. Chaise is rock solid with no rust or noticeable wear. Being in the mid-west the winters must have been brutal on this truck considering the miles driven. This Jeep was a bargain. I'm not fooling myself, i expect to have problems as the car's now has 208K, but i paid very little for a nice looking solid truck and as with every Jeep i have owned 200K is just warmed up. i highly recommend this model year Jeep Grand Cherokee and the Overland with the HEMI is a great upgrade if you are looking to save money and want a rugged on-road and off-road SUV.

I purchased this vehicle 1 year ago and have had no major problems. Information system is excellent. The hard drive option is excellent for music, I have 1600 songs saved. I've averaged around 16-17 mpg in the city and 18-21MPG on hwy for the 4.7L V8. Bluetooth for the phone is excellent, heated seats front and rear are great. Only option I don't have is rear DVD player. Only issue is sometimes the navigation/radio will freeze up. Shutting the car off and back on solves the problem. I can count on 1 hand how many times its happened, and I've driven it 22,000 miles. Steering wheel radio controls are great and rear view camera helps immensely in parking. Great in towing & snow. No maintenance

My wife and I bought this Jeep due to the great service from our 96 Cherokee. We could not be happier. The style is great, the interior and function extremely well thought out, and it is very comfortable and safe to drive. The room is generous and the performance with the 4.7 V-8 is incredible. The ride is excellent, brakes and handling very impressive. It is also a perfect size--fits nicely in our 2-car garage with another car with room to walk. This is a fine and durable vehicle to serves us as we move into our 60's with grace and verve!

This is the third Jeep I have owned. They interior is getting smaller and cramped in the back seat. Too many cavities around the shifter/console area. I have a 6 cyl and it is loud when starting off. No under the hood light as on other similar Jeeps I have owned and I get better gas mileage from my 2001 Jeep. The tach display has been moved to the left which is awkward. For a vehicle this expensive I rate it average.
Nice Ride

The 08 Grand Cherokee Laredo equipeed with the 26X package has a nice ride and an exceptionally high build quality. No squeeks, no rattles and the fit of parts is virtually perfect. Gas mileage around town has been 15.2 mpg.
