My sister got her 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee in 2000 with about 70,000 miles already on it. It now is a hair's breath away from 200,000 miles and still running fine. We've had to make a few repairs in the past couple years, but none over $500. I started driving the Jeep about a year ago. I've never been a fan of this car; I don't like the way it drives (personal preference, my sister loved this car). Gas mileage is pretty good for an SUV (much better then the newer Grand Cherokees). Overall, even though this car doesn't suite my taste, it's been a great, reliable vehicle.
