Used 1998 Jeep Cherokee for Sale near Chicago, IL

great vehicle, best vehicle to ever have the Chrysler name as the earlier designs were aquired from AMC/Jeep. Only have had routine maintenance on this Jeep until approaching 150kmi, then had to do more - nothing major or concerning, though.

We absolutely love our Jeep. We will probably buy a second one to replace our Ford Taurus Wagon as our other winter vehicle. Our summer cars are both Sports Cars (a Mazda Miata and a Datsun 240-Z) so we're into good handling - and despite being an SUV, the Jeep Cherokee is a VERY good handling vehicle - we have Rancho Shocks on it and the suspension is nice and tight - it takes curves great. Also has very spirited acceleration. It is a blast to drive in snowy weather - nothing stops it (we have Bridgestone Blizzaks on the original 15" wheels for winter and a set of Goodyear Fortera TripleTreds on 16" Wheels for the rest of the year. Gas Mileage is a bit low compared to more modern SUVs (we average around 14-15 mpg). Now that it's getting older, minor wiring issues are starting to crop up (Drivers Door Speaker no longer works, 3rd Brakelight only lights if tailgate is open, Electric Window switches on passenger doors stopped working even when master switch is in "On" position, electric door locks only function when door is in certain positions). Fortunately, the Driver's Master set of switches for the windows still works - so I have all the control... :-) The Engines and Drivelines in these Jeeps go on forever - but as they age, smaller issues happen with wiring, alternator, etc. But bear in mind, I've now got nearly 200,000 miles on it and it is 16 years old. I remember a time when if one got 100,000 miles and 6 or 7 years of good service out of a car (or Jeep) one was doing good. Over all I'm completely satisfied - one of my best vehicle purchases ever.

This is the best car i have ever owned and i have had a lot! I have beat this thing to hell and back and never had any problems with it. i have put 30,000 miles on it in a year and never had a problem. It is a fun drive anywhere do anything vehicle off the show room floor!

I love this Jeep! This is the second one I have owned and I am totally hooked on Jeeps. I can haul just about anything and have! I have used just my Jeep to move twice! We have even slept in the back when out tent sprang a leak while camping. I has good accelleration and handles well off road as well as on and the gas mileage is great.

Such a great drive. I couldn't ask for a better first car to own.
