Is 100k miles a lot for a Jeep Grand Cherokee?
As for the number of miles as a stand-alone issue, 100,000 isn’t that much for modern vehicles. I don’t think 100k miles is a lot for any halfway decent vehicle. The 3.6 isn’t the most amazing engine but it should last at least another 200k if well taken care of.
