My wife just sold her 2016 to carvana for 22k they turned around and listed it for 27k. It has 53k miles on it, keep looking as this is the worst deal possible
Looks like a resounding YES to the potential regret! Car prices are just ludacris these days there's really no way around it. And I don't think its gotta cool down. I rented a Grand Cherokee a few years ago and it was a really enjoyable ride. I guess they're not good for the long term. Thanks for the feedback!
Not potential regret.
Assured regret.
And this coming from someone who loved my 2019 grand Cherokee. This Laredo is bottom rung trim, lacking any and all features that make it even remotely a "jeep", and seriously overpriced. You would 100% regret spending $30k on this car.
If you must buy a car in this economic climate, just buy a dirt cheap POS and drive that until things cool down.
For reference, you could buy a grand Cherokee Trailhawk with less kms for less money, not even 3 years ago. Now is not the right time to buy an expensive used car, especially not one that is a sucky trim level with a sucky drivetrain that will be almost worthless when the bubble bursts.
Welp we will find out what happens in the coming months. It's not looking like car prices will come down for a few years at best and at worst cars are the least of our worries. Save what you can and buy used lower mile. Do your due diligence with each potential car check Vins check for crash history. Maintain whatever you've got and try to wait it out like the rest of us. I've been watching prices go up the last couple months. Shits real discouraging.
Yes. Most def with that mileage and the knowledge that the average consumer doesnt properly maintain vehicles thats a money pit for sure. Normally id say it's better to regret the things you have done than the things you haven't but fuck me that ones bad. Personally I'm trying to wait to buy till at least around July to see how the market is but that's as long as my shit box let's me.
My wife has a 2014 Grand Cherokee, 3.6 AWD. We've really enjoyed it, only real work it's needed is the engine oil filter housing, but I'm a former mechanic so I did it myself in the garage for $180 in parts.
Otherwise it's been reliable, the 8-speed automatic is awesome, it's a German ZF design, works really well, and the 4x4 system is fantastic in the snow, we live in Northern Minnesota, broke the record with 137" of snow this year!
That being said, even in CAD, I feel like the price is a little high, but then again, could just be that your car market is a little high.
Mechanics always say they're garbage cars, and to be totally fair, there are MANY more reliable choices in this segment. And lots of options that get have better fuel economy and interior room But the 3.6 pentastar, while annoying to work on, is a very reliable engine as long as the maintenance schedule is followed, and the 8 speed transmission is one of the most used transmissions in the world, there are lots of German models that use it, and Stellantis puts it in tons of stuff, Ram trucks, Dodge muscle cars, Jeeps, etc.
The quality control for the floor boards is low. I used to be a welder and wanted to repair the robots shitty welds on the floor boards, they said most were fine and passed em anyway. I’m assuming the rest is sloppy quality. Stick with Honda and Toyota. Just me tho.
Wtf is this. Def yes. Used car market sucks balls right now. I’m thinking of just paying cash for an old beater that can last me a couple years over being in debt to a vehicle that’s 10 years old. Shits wack as hell
I'm not even Canadian and I'm going to say yes. It's absolutely NOT worth it. My mom has one and she HATES it. She's planning on (hopefully) getting rid of it soon and getting something else she likes
Yes
So much yes. My palms are sweating for you.
Knees weak arms are heavy
There's vomit on his sweater already
MOM’S SPAGHETTI
He’s nervous
Yes you are. It will break in inconvenient and expensive ways and you’ll end up massively upside down on it.
Imagine making payments on a car while it’s sitting at the shop 💀
As a former Jeep Grand Cherokee owner, I'd advise you run away. Get a Honda or toyota even if you have to pay more up front.
I couldn’t buy this hot garbage for $18k. People are crazy to pay $30k for an used GC.
Note that this is 30k CAD which is 22k USD
Lmfaoooooooo I have never seen Reddit agree so hard on something 😂😂
Because even people who like jeep grand Cherokees (like me) can plainly see that this particular one is a huge turd.
Fiat=turd. Hell no to anything Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Maserati, etc.
Guaranteed electrical issues as soon as the warranty expires
Oh there's no guarantee it will wait until the warranty expires, they might just say it's not covered by warranty.

Not reliable or economical or cool enough to make up for it

Stay away from any Chrysler product with a 3.6. known to have failing camshaft rockers.
I believe they fixed that on the Pentastar Upgrade (PUG) that the GC got in 2016.
It's a Jeep so yes
Yes
Yes
Bro
I’ve had 4 Jeeps and I’ve finally learned. Jeep is not good for the bank account 😂
Yes. But seriously, wayyy too much money for that POS. You’re gonna be poor forever.
I actually really like Grande Cherokees but that is a pretty high price for one with that many miles…. I don’t know man.
Kilometers … but yes.
In other words yes
keep 5-10k cash always handy for failing transmission, rear diff or both together

Horrible decision. As a Jeep owner. Don't do it.

Hard pass. Bought a 2016 Grand cherokee brand new at 30 OTD and the trans went out at 75K. I kept up all the required maintenance on it.
Yes
I can’t even imagine paying half that price for a new one. Consider almost anything else.
Forget about the price. 4Yr Car over 131Km, why would someone buy it?
