Buying Guide: Certified Pre-Owned Jeep Grand Cherokee

If you are looking for a fantastic adventure vehicle, you should strongly consider a used Jeep Grand Cherokee for your next outing. Here at Faricy Chrysler Jeep, we offer a great selection of these family-friendly SUVs for you to choose from, including new and used models. Perfect for city driving and off-roading, the Jeep Grand Cherokee is a well-rounded, affordable option for anyone looking for a spacious, competent vehicle. While some shoppers are interested in a Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) option, we believe a used model is a better choice.

Not only will a used Grand Cherokee save you money compared to a new or CPO vehicle, but it will also retain that value better in the long term. Much of a vehicle’s depreciation occurs in the first few years, and a used model lets you skip that so that you experience less depreciation while you enjoy your daily driving and vacation adventures. A CPO model does have warranty protection to offer, but if that’s your biggest concern, then a new Grand Cherokee is probably a better choice for better coverage. A late-model used Jeep not only saves you money but can provide you with fantastic performance and reliability for many years to come.

What Is a CPO Model?

If you’ve started shopping for a used Jeep, then you’ve probably heard about CPO options that are out there. CPO vehicles are essentially used models that have to meet certain standards, including an inspection set by the original manufacturer. What sets these vehicles apart from other used models is that they come with warranty coverage from the original manufacturer. The problem, however, is that they also come at a higher price than comparable used models simply because they’re offered as CPO vehicles. That’s why we suggest a used Jeep Grand Cherokee from a reputable dealership for the best combination of low price and great reliability.

The Benefits of Buying a Used Jeep Grand Cherokee

Although there are a number of reasons to choose a great used Jeep, perhaps the biggest one for many of our customers is the fact that it’s offered at such a great price. A used model is typically the least expensive option you find, even compared to CPO vehicles, and the best way to go if you need your budget to stretch as far as possible. Not only do you pay less up-front for a used Grand Cherokee, but since you’re skipping the initial depreciation (as we mentioned above), you’ll also retain more value in your vehicle, making it a better investment.

As long as you’re shopping at a dealership that you can trust, you can also rest assured that a used Jeep will be in great shape. Here at Faricy Chrysler Jeep, all of our used vehicles are part of our One Price Plus program, which is designed to ensure you get the best shopping experience possible. This starts with total transparency that includes our exclusive Real Deal History folder, providing you with all of the information we have on every used model we sell, so you’ll know what we do about our models.

We work hard every day to ensure our vehicles are priced competitively, and we make sure you get a fair price without any hassle. All of our used models also come with a 3-day or 300-mile full refund guarantee, so if you discover you overlooked something you need or simply change your mind for any reason within the first few days, you can bring your vehicle back to us. We want to ensure you get a great car-buying experience while getting the best value on a used Grand Cherokee.

Which Used Jeep Grand Cherokee Models to Look For

The Jeep Grand Cherokee has been around for 30 years, but you’re not going to find many models quite that old here at Faricy Chrysler Jeep. You’ll have great options to choose from that include some of the most recent models on the market. An all-new generation just launched for this model year, but you’ll likely find vehicles from the previous generation when shopping used. With that in mind, let’s take a quick look at what these model years have to offer.

The 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee

As a mid-size SUV with room for five people, the 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee was available in six trims. These include the Laredo, Altitude, Limited, Overland, Summit, and SRT. Standard features on all models included automatic headlights, fog lights, keyless ignition/entry, full power accessories, and dual-zone climate control. You’ll also find a USB port, an auxiliary jack, a CD player, a 6-speaker stereo system, and a leather-wrapped tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel in the Grand Cherokee. All of the 2015 models offered Bluetooth connectivity, and there are plenty more luxury and advanced features on higher trim levels.

The 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee

The 2016 Grand Cherokee models lost the Altitude trim level, leaving the vehicle with a total of five trim options. All of the standard features remained the same for this production year, and a number of optional packages were added to the lineup. For the most part, you’ll find similar options when looking at the 2015 and 2016 models, making them both a great choice.

The 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee

The 2017 lineup introduced a new high-end off-road trim level: the popular Trailhawk model. Several standard features were also added for this production year. The upgrades to the standard features included heated exterior side mirrors, a rearview camera, and parking sensors. Meanwhile, the Trailhawk model became the most capable off-roading SUV in its class with skid plates, an electronic limited-slip rear differential, an adjustable air suspension system, four-wheel drive with low-range gearing, and hill descent/ascent control all included. Keep in mind that it might be difficult to find a used Grand Cherokee Trailhawk due to just how popular they are and how many drivers like to keep them, but they’re out there.

2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee

If you happen to find a Grand Cherokee from 2018, then you’re in for a treat. Available in seven trims (Laredo, Limited, Trailhawk, Overland, Summit, SRT, and Trackhawk), there are many new features and packages to look out for. Added to the list of standard features was compatibility with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which make it easy to stream music and navigate through your favorite apps. The introduction of the Trackhawk included a supercharged V8 engine, high-performance tires, and an overall more aggressive look. If you want an SUV that stands out with incredible performance, then look for a Grand Cherokee Trackhawk!

The 2019/2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee Models

There weren’t many significant changes to the 2019 and 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee models since Jeep was hard at work on preparing the next generation. Finding one of these late-model vehicles used is a great choice as you get the most recent features, and they’re usually in fantastic condition. They’ll typically be priced higher than some of the older models, since they tend to have less wear on them, but you’ll still find them to be the most budget-friendly option.
