Hello everyone,

I’m thinking of buying a 2021 Jeep Cherokee Limited, previously a personal lease vehicle, with approximately 35,000 miles on it. The CARFAX report indicates a recent battery replacement and a starter change last year. Considering its history as a lease vehicle and the mileage, are these repairs red flags, especially in light of known electrical issues with this model? I would appreciate any advice or insights from your experiences with similar vehicles.

Thank you in advance!

    Aaking if a Jeep/Chrysler is a good purchase in this subreddit is a good way to earn some downvotes. 50+% of Jeeps are money pits at 10 years old. Do you have the finances to repair it if needed? But no, a battery is not a huge red flag. Most last 3-5 years. That previous driver may have done a lot of short trips or listened to the radio a lot. I still vote automatic nope on anything jeep unless it’s like $5k under comparable prices and then spend $200 to get it inspected

      Stellantis vehicles are dirt cheap when the buyer doesn’t mind to spend a weekend on replacing rocker arms or fixing a wild electric issue. All other kinds of buyers are usually not so happy with the purchase.
