"cherokee".



Well, Jeep makes a Cherokee and a Grand Cherokee. Significantly
different vehicles. which one were they refering to?

I own a 96 grand and several of my neighbors own or have owned
grand cherokees. One guy ran his grand to over 170K before getting
rid of it.

I think the ABS on the grand cherokee is just amazing.

one mechanic said "grand cherokee" the others said "cherokee" Again, I
can't say if it was anything but this one shop's experience.

And to start another debate, when asked about trucks they leaned toward
GM makes, feeling the repair parts were less money (although overall
repairs between makes was about the same with the exception of toyota).
Just repeating what was said
