The catalytic converter had to be replaced at 40,000 miles.
The cat back exhaust had to be replaced at 67,000 miles. A hole had developed.
An extra clamp was placed on the catback exhaust because of rattling against the frame.
The car still runs very well and has no engine or drive train problems to date.
The spare tire takes up a fair amount of trunk space.
The first thing that caught my eye about your was the mileage. You are in for a surprise when I tell you my Jeep Grand Cherokee has over 231,000 miles. Granted I rebuilt the top of the engine at around 150,000 miles, it was well worth the price. Small problems with tubes and pumps will occur like with any car, and eventually, like I have experienced a large problem will present itself. Sadly, my Jeep has experienced valve problems and has a clicking sound when running. I still love everything about her though. Good luck and hopefully your luck with Jeeps will be as pleasant as mine has been.
I have a 93 Grand Cherokee Limited, and I too have valve problems, but I have 348000 on mine and I use it on and off road all the time; lots of highway driving, and I wouldn't give it away for the world. I even bought a 95 Grand Cherokee Laredo, and it too is also a daily driver with 230000 on it, but I couldn't pass up on the price tag so I bought it.
Thanks, Geoff
