I thought I’d lost my mind when I heard people talking about $100k Jeeps. Nothing like watching Matt’s Off Road pull somebody’s totaled Jeep out of a river, lake, or off a trail it had no business going down.
Who buys a jeep?
I wouldn't buy a jeep if they were $500
Are sure you weren't at Lynn Hickey Dodge?
We bought a 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee limited new. V8, 4WD loaded with accessories.
It road good, great seats for long trips, but we started having troubles with the heat and air at about 60K miles. Vents quit shifting when changing modes. In the next 10K miles, they had to pull the dash to replace the servo motors that controlled the vents three times.
We subscribed to Consumer Reports at that time and saw that jeeps were at the top of the list of vehicles that required the most maintenance.
They said the transmission would likely fail at the 80,0000 mile mark, and it did. $7000 to get it replaced. They also said the engine would likely fail at the 110,000 mark. We had 120,000 miles on it at that time so decided to trade it in on something. Halfway to OKC the rods started knocking at the Stillwater exit on I-35. I limped it back to Ponca at 25mph taking country roads.
No more jeeps for us. We finally found a guy that had a low mileage grand cherokee that was wrecked, so he bought ours and changed the engines out.

At least it's not a hummer EV! 
Would like to see the depreciation on those in 5 years when the batteries get closer to needing replaced.

Why would you pay 315K for a Toyota?
