Car financing: yellow 2020 Jeep Cherokee Limited in Yameri

The 2020 Jeep Cherokee Limited for buyers

We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2020 Jeep Cherokee Limited for sale by us right now. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Here is what to know about the 2020 Jeep Cherokee Limited before buying one.

A buyer's checks

Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Owners filed 328 complaints with NHTSA, most often about power train, engine and unknown or other; have those parts checked. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.

The figures, translated

Its 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo drives through a 9-speed automatic. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

The EPA rates it at 9.1 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 27 litres. For 1,000 km, budget about $141.10 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,600 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Size and space

An SUV body means more headroom and a taller cargo opening than a car of the same length.

When the Cherokee makes sense

It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.

Drive it on your own roads

Rent first, buy later: a week with the Cherokee answers the big questions. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.

What it costs to run

The EPA estimates US$2,600 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.

Picking a year and a trim

Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Compare the Limited with the other trims of the same year before you decide. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
