Playing for a living formulae

I'm not getting how a Jeep Grand Cherokee runs $57k to be honest (even though we're talking Canadian).

It's a nice vehicle....and I guess $40k American is possible for one of those things with the various frills. But it still seems a bit much.

My GF had a Grand Cherokee, circa 2001 or 2002 I think. And I'm pretty sure she didn't pay nearly that much for it.
I might ask her what she pays per month on it just out of curiousity.

Sorry maybe I should have been clearer.

This is the Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited Edition. The one with the upgraded hemi engine, GPS navigational system etc.
Theres nothing this SUV doesn't have

The normal Cherokee starts at about 35K base price, this ones base price was 48K

The only regret I have is the fuel milage I get. I can hold about 80 Litres and I get just over 300 km a tank.
Really really bad on the fuel.

My fiances G6 can get us to my parents house and back which is about 90 minutes away on a quarter of a tank, my car uses more then 3/4 of the tank for the same trip and it holds a lot more gas then hers does.

yeah. when you mentioned the price I figured it must be pretty 'souped-up' with that kind if stuff.


GF was REALLY noticing the poor mileage on hers just as she switched work-places (for a longer commute) while the gas-prices were going higher and higher.


It's REALLY nice to not have to be on the road so freaking much because I am working from home.

I walk to a nearby convenience stores for quick items (milk, bread, whatever) as well as a couple of restaurants and bars in my neighborhood.
So I've been known to go 3 or 4 days sometimes without using my car (thus my lazyness about getting a new one...I just don't use it that much...so what do I care if it's a piece of crap?)
