    Dealer listing photo unavailable — the dealer’s site blocks automated capture. Captured October 10, 2026.

    $10,655
    114,994 miles · 2.4L 4-cyl FWD · 21/28 MPG
    Moose’s Verdict

    Fair-ish price. Oil-drinking Tigershark.

    $10,655 is $551 over Edmunds market — not a ripoff, but you’re paying over the odds for a van with a known oil habit. RepairPal flags excessive oil consumption on 2017–2018 2.4L Tigersharks plus rusting oil pans, and the 9-speed automatic has its own shift-quality history. Then there’s the trim confusion: the dealer lists it as a Tradesman while the VIN feeds read as a passenger wagon — a question you shouldn’t have to ask. The math says walk.

    Price vs Market
    $10,655 — $551 over Edmunds market for 115k miles. Fair-to-high.

    ★★★★★

    No free AutoCheck score obtained; 3 NHTSA recalls apply (tire placard, fire extinguisher, side airbag) — verify by VIN.

    Vehicle History

    No free AutoCheck score could be obtained. Three NHTSA campaigns apply to the 2017 model year: incorrect tire placards, a fire extinguisher that may not function, and side curtain airbag inflation concerns — confirm completion on this VIN. The trim mismatch between the dealer listing and the VIN feeds is its own flag.

    Moose’s Verdict

    Mystery listing. 9-speed gamble.

    This listing publishes no price and no mileage — the two numbers a verdict is built on — and per our doctrine a hidden price is an automatic MOOSE lean. What we can verify from the VIN: a 2018 Cherokee with the 3.2L V6 and 4×4, in the ‘North Special Edition’ trim that was sold for the Canadian market — meaning this is likely a Canadian import, with the cross-border title and warranty questions that come with it. And the 2014–2019 Cherokee’s ZF 9-speed is one of the most complained-about transmissions of the decade: rough shifting, hesitation, shudder, and failures that sometimes need full replacement. No price, no miles, a troubled transmission, and import paperwork. There’s nothing here to say yes to.

    Price vs Market
    No price published at all — a deal you can’t see can’t be judged.

    ★★★★★

    History (VIN)
    No history data obtainable; 2018 Cherokee has airbag and transmission-software recalls — completion unknown.

    ★★★★★

    Maintenance & Reliability
    The ZF 9-speed’s rough-shift and failure history is the headline risk; Canadian-import trim adds title questions.

    Dealer listing photo unavailable at verdict time — no photo was published with this listing.

    $14,153
    141,799 miles · $14,405 with $252 doc fee · 6.2L V8 RWD
    Moose’s Verdict

    Cheap price. Worn MagneRide.

    $14,153 earns CarGurus’ ‘Great Deal’ badge — because it’s a 141,799-mile Denali, and the market prices these for what they are: big, loaded, and one repair away from a four-figure bill. Every 2015 Denali rides on Magnetic Ride Control, and at 141k miles those shocks are wear items — $1,500–$2,500 per corner when they fail, and they fail as a set. The 6.2L EcoTec3 carries AFM (Active Fuel Management) lifters with their own TSB trail of misfires and ticking, plus the 6L80’s torque-converter shudder history. The listing says ‘No Accidents!’ and the price is genuinely low, but you’re buying the cheapest possible entry into a truck whose two most expensive systems are both at end of life. Unless the seller can show fresh shocks and a clean lifter history, this ‘deal’ is a repair bill wearing a price tag.

    Price vs Market
    $14,153 is genuinely cheap — CarGurus calls it a Great Deal. Cheap for a reason.

    $14,456
    184,297 miles · doc fee $252 on top of whatever they quote · 5.7L HEMI V8 4×4
    Moose’s Verdict

    No price posted. 184,000 miles.

    The dealer doesn’t publish a price on this truck — you can’t judge a deal you can’t see, and per our doctrine a hidden price is an automatic MOOSE lean. Then there’s the odometer: 184,297 miles on a 5.7L HEMI puts the truck squarely in lifter-failure and warped-exhaust-manifold territory, the two issues 4th-gen Ram owners talk about more than anything else. Some Hemis go 240k+ with good oil; plenty don’t. Add two NHTSA recalls on the 2015 (rear axle, electric power steering) with completion unknown on this VIN, and this is a call-for-price truck with 184k miles and no history shown. Hard pass at any price you can’t verify.

    Price vs Market
    No published price — you have to call to find out, and a deal you can’t see can’t be judged.

    No free history score obtained; recall completion on this VIN is unknown.

    $14,346
    136,058 miles · $14,598 with $252 doc fee · 3.0L Biturbo V6 4MATIC
    Moose’s Verdict

    Fair price. Ticking air suspension.

    $14,346 sits squarely in the fair range for these miles ($13k–$17k, clustering $14k–$16k) — the price isn’t the problem. The air suspension is: 136,058 miles on AIRMATIC air springs, and they fail as a wear item — $2,000–$4,000+ per corner when they go. Add 8 NHTSA recalls with completion unknown on this VIN and a 9G-TRONIC transmission with its own complaint history, and this GLS needs either a warranty or a repair budget from day one. Fair price, but only if you price in the suspension.

    Price vs Market
    $14,346 is fair for 136k miles — mid-range against $13k–$17k comps.

    ★★★★★

    History (VIN)

    AIRMATIC at 136k miles is the #1 risk ($2k–$4k+ per corner); 9G-TRONIC has its own complaint history.

    196,585 miles · $14,207 with $252 doc fee · 3.5L EcoBoost 4×4
    Moose’s Verdict

    Fair price. Wrong truck.

    $13,955 sits squarely in the fair range for these miles ($13k–$15.5k) — the price isn’t the problem. The truck is: 196,585 miles on a 2015 3.5L EcoBoost from a documented “years to avoid” model year, with 14 NHTSA recalls and completion status unknown on this VIN. At these miles you’re in turbo-replacement territory ($1,500–$3,500 per turbo, and there are two) and transmission-rebuild territory ($3,000–$5,500). The roughly $7,000 you save versus a lower-mile Platinum isn’t savings — it’s a repair fund with a truck attached.

    Price vs Market
    $13,955 is fair for 196k miles — mid-range against $8.8k–$20k comps.

    ★★★★★

    History (VIN)
