Looks brand new inside and out

I have a 2002 Grand Cherokee with 67k miles and black leather interior. The interior looks as good as the day that I bought it. Even though I do not garage it due to clutter, the insides look fabulous! Even though repairs can be costly, they are few and far between. These cars are not smooth riding, but they are solid and comfortable. I have loved this one for the last 10 years and it has been there for me through thick and thin. Many fine memories are imbedded in this vehicle. Very nice sound system with fabulous sound and speakers.

Everything we were looking for...

We had decided to get a WJ-variant of a Grand Cherokee (1999-2004) for comfort during interstate travel, but still have the 4-wheel drive capability Jeep is known for during instances of off-road driving and severe winter weather. We also wanted other luxuries such as compass/thermometer and power windows. This 2002 Grand Cherokee Overland has everything we wanted, and has served us well on trips to Ontario, Michigan's Upper Peninsula, and all over Wisconsin. We have no complaints!

Best Ride I ever had

Today, I sold my 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland. It was an amazing ride for the 6 years I owned it. But with 98k miles, I figured it was time to replace for something newer (another Jeep). It was a great ride. Wished I could have found another just like it, only newer. I went Commander this time, and I only hope it treats me as well!

One of the best vehicles i have ever owned!

I just want people to know that i am a Jeep and Audi fan. As far as the jeep goes i bought it used and has been very reliable so far. i have the 4.7ho v8 which has great power but i wish it would pull harder from higher rpm and another negative is gas mileage...its a killer. Build quality in the jeep is good but doesnt conpare to the audi i have...oh well i didnt get it for the build quality. However i wouldnt recommend the jeep for a teenegers first car due to the high center of gravity and has a higher risk of rolling.

Love it, except....

The 02 Jeep grand Cherokee Overland is exactly what i wanted in a car. It has all the features that I wanted and drives like a dream. Only problem is that it's in the shop every other week. It seems like something new and exciting is breaking off of it every day. Since I bought it, 1 1/2 years ago, I've put $2,800 extra into it. BTW, it had 48,000 miles and now has 60,000 miles, so I can't wait to see what starts falling apart on it once I get too 100k.
