Thinking of buying the 1982 Jeep Cherokee?

No 1982 Jeep Cherokee is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. Here is what to know about the 1982 Jeep Cherokee before buying one.

Before you sign for the Cherokee

In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.

Under the hood

The EPA does not rate this model year for fuel use; heavier trucks and vans are often not rated.

Who rents the Cherokee

It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits winter trips and weekends with more gear than people.

Inside and out

Being a compact SUV, it handles luggage, strollers and sports gear well.

Drive it on your own roads

Drive the Cherokee on your commute before you commit to it. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Cherokee answers the big questions. If the Cherokee is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.

Picking a year and a trim

Within the 1982 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.

Running costs

Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
