Jeep Grand Cherokee Depreciation
A Jeep Grand Cherokee will depreciate 52% after 5 years and have a 5 year resale value of $26,200.
The Jeep Grand Cherokee does an OK job of holding its value, but it's not great. It's neck-and-neck with its principal rival, the Ford Explorer, but it's still towards the back of the pack when meaured by its resale values. While we don't recommend buying a new Grand Cherokee, as they will lose 25% of their value in year 1, you can find some good deals in the used market, provided that you do your homework.
The chart below shows the expected depreciation for the next 10 years. These results are for vehicles in good condition, averaging 12,000 miles per year. It also assumes a selling price of $54,927 when new. Enter your purchase price, expected ownership period and estimated miles driven annually.

Buying a Jeep Grand Cherokee New vs Used
If you purchase a used Jeep Grand Cherokee that is 2 years old, then you could save $20,092 compared to buying new, and still have a relatively new model with plenty of useful life remaining. If you plan to keep this vehicle for 3 years then your total cost of depreciation would be $8,635. Try other age and ownership length combinations, or different vehicles to see if you can find depreciation sweetspots where this cost is the lowest. Hint: Try vehicles between 2 and 4 years old, as brand new vehicles depreciate quickly. Also, if this is a recently released model and buying a few years old isn't possible, consider another vehicle, or perhaps wait until more used Grand Cherokee models become available.
