For those awaiting buybacks from FCA... Will you wait for the MY17 model Cherokee? Or get the MY16 model.

My 2014 KL will be 3 years old by April 2017, therefore out of the bumper to bumper warranty and entering the limited powertrain 5 years warranty.

Usually (when I can afford it of course) that 2 year window is my sweet spot to start looking around and considering options to trade the current vehicle before or around the 5 year warranty expiration day. So in that sense I am kind of curious about the 2017 MY (mechanically and price wise, as these vehicles got considerably more expensive here in Canada since I bought mine 2 years ago).

It will definitely set my pace in either stick with Jeep or starting shopping around

im wanting to buy the uconnect 8.5 from the 2017 model with the androidauto built in. then you can use your googlemaps right off your phone on the screen without paying for the $1000 nav option? wondering if they will do any exterior changes , like new bumpers , or fascia for the thawks, thawks have smooth and boring bumpers and the approach angle could be a lot better.

got more pics of the 17. wish i could figure out how to post them. l.e.d. lights and headlights still the same. lower grille long and chromed on this model looks like two air intakes on each end and some large camara/sensor??? by the drivers side one. actual grille is covered with tarp. back end covered. no badges at all on this car. cant get close enough to see inside as it is constanlly guarded.

I'm looking to jump into a 17 Trailhawk as soon as they are available. I have a 2014 and I'm 23 months into a 36 month lease. My original plan was to do a low mileage lease then buy at the end just to spread payments out and keep them low. Unfortunately i've had the transmission replaced and an unexplained resonating type noise in the front end when the TH was returned with the new transmission, and an accident where I was rear ended. So my best bet would be to just let it go and start from scratch.

One problem is that i'm less than 1500 miles away from the 30k mile limit. So i'm in panic mode since each miles over is 25 cents!

I attempted to trade into a 16 last fall, but one dealer didn't want it and my selling dealer would only give me 22k trade value. That was about 3 grand less than the payoff. They claimed it was high mileage. 20K miles in 18 months isn't exactly high mileage!

So i'm anxious to see the new one and get some pricing. If it's too pricey, I gotta a decision to make on something different!
