"Recently I again purchased a used, 2001 Jeep Cherokee 4door. These cas are very reliable, and most prices from private parties are fair, providing the Jeep is in good working order, and not a rust-bucket. Just make sure you first ABSOLUTELY bring it to a certified mechanic to get a thorough mechanical inspection. I know these Cherokees from prior ownerships, and the one time...THIS time, I didn't bring it for an inspection, I got totally hosed by the "Honest" 1 owner folks I bought it from!! I say, if the seller is not willing to let you take it to a mechanic run, don't walk away QUICK!"

"Both vehicles that I was interested were put on by scammers. Same wording only one getting a divorce and the other had a dead husband. Both out of state and would ship for free seeing someone elese paid the shipping and then backed out. Yhey must think I am out of my mind for buying a car with out seeing it in person and driving it and having my husband who is a mechanic look it over first. These peopl give cars.com a bad name."

"We have to drive on washed out dirt roads 10 miles just to get to and from our house. We have winter conditions up here 7-8 months a year. To say we are isolated, would be an understatement. To live up here, you have to have a vehicle that is dependable, rugged, and excellent in deep snow! The 2001 Jeep Cherokee meets all these demands and more. We own a Cherokee Sport with 53,000 orig. miles and plan on keeping it for a very long time."

"This is the second Jeep I've owned. The first was a 1995 Grand Cherokee. Despite the fact that the dealer lied to me about it previously being wrecked, I loved that Jeep. I just bought my 2001 Jeep Cherokee 4 days ago (used). It has great pick up. Love the body style, and the fact that I can easily switch from 2 WD into 4 WD. The stability on this Jeep is outstanding with the wide wheelbase. Roomy interior, with gauges rather than what's known as 'idiot lights' on the dash. I would definitely recommend this vehicle to anyone!"

"Bought a used Cherokee a few months ago. The Cherokee has been nothing but great, except for a minor problem with the left-front speaker. The 4.0L is just a better motor than Jeep's new 3.8L, and I have been getting better gas milage than I did in my 2009 Wrangler. In my opinion, the new Jeeps just don't perform at the same level as the older ones do. And did I mention the Cherokee's great performance in the snow."

"This my first Jeep and i love it. I wanted a 4x4 and it does well. Got to play in the snow for the first time in all my life. Havent had any problems yet. When i found out it had the Inline 6 that was the key ingredient. I had another vehical with a strait 6 and it had over 500,000 thousand miles on it and did not have a bit of trouble with that engine either. I plan on keepin the jeep for a very long time. starting with 63,000. I got a long way to go."

"I have owned Jeeps since 1990. Good vehicles overall. I do most of my own maintenance on my Jeep and it is an easy suv to work on. I have put 70,000 miles on it since I bought it 4 yrs. ago with only 43,000 miles. I use only synthetic oils in all of my cars and have never had any major motor repairs. The 2001 is by far alot better designed suv than the 1991's that I owned. The transfer case shifts in and out easliy in the 01 compared to the 91. The mileage is maybe the only issue as you can only get 20 over the road."
