Used 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland for Sale near Des Moines, IA

Don't get me wrong... it's still an American made SUV with typical quality issues but nothing I feel worth complaining about. The OVERLAND Edition enhanced trim level got some help from me with oversized black steel rims and tires, tinted windows and wheel rain guards. Other small modifications have improved gas mileage and boosted performance. Resonator has been removed from exhaust system and a MagnaFlow glasspack muffler makes for a perfect street roar. Truck sticks to road better than any Corvette I've owned with oversized front and rear sway bars and the Bilstein shocks and struts provide the perfect height and aggressive stance. Adding wider tires provides stability and stance. Cross drilled rotors and high performance brake pads provide powerful braking ability. The OVERLAND edition combined with my upgrades makes this a unique vehicle. I love to drive it.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland is an amazing specimen that will easily devour a "luxury" competitor of similar breed with much less effort (and by effort I mean $$$). I just bought a used 2006 and am just as floored as the adjustable accelerator pedal should be in this vehicle. I will talk a lot about the power in this ride but its ride and appointments can't be overshadowed. I have read poor reviews on handling. I pushed the limits of speed's favorite initial and the Overland handled more than adequately in the curve-carving department. The HEMI doesn't need a comment because it really does speak for it self. My buddy has a Dodge Durango with the same engine and it growls louder under his hood. While the roar is satisfying, I believe Jeep has simply improved cabin insulation. I hold this opinion as my wife complained that I shouldn't speed out of our driveway. I don't speed; (in our neighborhood anyway) the low gears of this rig will turn the domes of any spectators, willing or otherwise. I just realized I must sound like I work for Jeep or its ownership. I assure you I do not. I am just a happy consumer that is 34 years old and has been frugal in all of his vehicle purchases. The best part is I purchased this Jeep used and a bag filled with depreciation is gone. Depreciation is why you shouldn't buy new. Duh, everyone knows that but the majority of the U.S. buys new, go figure (own more than you show I say!). The Overland is amazing. I won't list features; Google has all your answers. Lastly, my wife has a powerful Infinity SUV, my good friend a Yukon Denali. Both individuals have ridden in my Jeep and wished it was theirs. By the way, my buddy with the rig named after an Alaskan park spent almost twice what I just spent on the JGC Overland. To answer your unanswered question, I spent lees than $30k. Ha, maybe I should work for Jeep. Safe travels.

Had a couple if these as company cars and the one in the picture I was driving in a quarry in Italy before the new shape car was launched in the UK. They are £10K+ cheaper than a Land Rover, look classy and have strong engines. Interior a bit low but loved the car. Had one for nearly a year

Even though there's a lot of Mercedes-Benz in there, such as the gearbox, it's still cheaply built and doesn't match the competition. But then, it's a real 4x4, not one of those crappy trendy BMW X3 and such ...
