Certified Pre-Owned Jeep Grand Cherokee

If you are interested in a Grand Cherokee, but you are not ready to take the plunge on a brand-new model, then you might have considered a Certified Pre-Owned Jeep Grand Cherokee. A Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) vehicle is essentially a used model that has to meet certain criteria set by the original manufacturer, including limits on its age and mileage, and it must pass an inspection. As long as these requirements are met, the vehicle can be sold as CPO and will come with warranty coverage from the manufacturer. Sounds great, right?

A CPO model can be a good option, but it is not always the best choice: CPO models cost more than other pre-owned vehicles, and there is nothing inherently better about them. If you choose a used vehicle in excellent condition but not offered as CPO, you will save money while still getting the confidence of knowing you chose a Jeep Grand Cherokee that will treat you well for many years to come. If warranty coverage is your main concern, then it may be worth it to pay a little more for a brand-new model that will give you the best protection possible and a fantastic driving experience.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee

The Jeep Grand Cherokee first came out in 1993. It was introduced with the goal of combining power and luxury by having a capable SUV that was significantly quieter and more comfortable than other models. It turned out to be a smashing success, with more than four million Grand Cherokee SUVs sold since its release almost three decades ago. Jeep worked hard to make a vehicle that you could take around town with your whole family loaded inside while still being in its element out on the trails, camping, and adventuring with other 4x4 vehicles.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee has had some massive powerhouse engines placed in it over the years. The Grand Cherokee SRT had a 475-horsepower 6.4L HEMI V8 engine, while the Grand Cherokee Trackhawk featured an incredible supercharged V8 that puts out 707 horsepower and 645 lb-ft of torque. These are not the only engines that the Grand Cherokee has had, but if you are looking for a vehicle with some growl and gumption, then be on the lookout for these specific engines to whisk you away to the adventures you crave.

If you are interested in going where most other SUVs cannot go, then look for a used Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk with the Quadra-Trac II 4x4 system. This system gives you a two-speed transfer case for those low-range opportunities that the wilderness can provide for you. A newer Grand Cherokee may also have Quadra-Lift Air Suspension in addition to an available skid plate package, so if those are things you want, add them to the list of needs while you are looking for your next used Jeep Grand Cherokee.

The Jeep CPO Program

When looking at getting a used Jeep Grand Cherokee, it can be tempting to choose one that is Certified Pre-Owned. For some people, the biggest draw of a CPO Grand Cherokee is the warranty coverage. A CPO Jeep comes with a 7-year/100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty. In addition, CPO models also feature a 3-month/3,000-mile Maximum Care warranty. This includes coverage for over 5,000 vehicle components, including mechanical and electrical systems, interior features, and more. That warranty coverage certainly sounds great, but there are some key things you should consider that we will get into down below.

A CPO Jeep Grand Cherokee also comes with a CARFAX vehicle history report. This can be a very attractive bonus because it gives you peace of mind from knowing the full history of your vehicle. Having a vehicle history report makes it easier to avoid buying a vehicle that looks fine at first glance but really is just a disaster waiting to happen. Your safety and not having to worry about a vehicle that constantly breaks down are worth having this kind of protection, but you can get a CARFAX report without choosing a CPO vehicle.

Is a CPO Jeep Grand Cherokee the Best Option?

If warranty protection is one of your biggest concerns with your next Jeep Grand Cherokee, then a brand-new option is likely a better way to go than CPO. The powertrain limited warranty on a CPO model sounds great, but it is important to note that it starts when the vehicle was first sold as new. That means that if you are looking at a CPO option that is four years old and has 70,000 miles on it, then it only has 3 years/30,000 miles of warranty coverage left. A brand-new Jeep, on the other hand, has a 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty and a 3-year/36,000-mile basic warranty that far surpasses what any CPO model will come with.

On the other hand, if you are really focused on your budget, then a non-CPO used model is going to be your best bet. CPO vehicles cost more than comparable used options that have not been certified. In fact, some dealers avoid certification on excellent vehicles to prevent this markup and give customers a better price. Choosing a late-year used option that is in great condition can get you fantastic performance and a reliable vehicle while saving you money. Best of all, there are plenty of used options with clean CARFAX vehicle history reports here at The Faricy Boys that don't come with the added expense of a CPO model.
