I have it about3 months. Bought it off a little used car lot. It had 202100 miles.I put it on a lift and it is absoulety dry.I ran a car fax for historyand it was involved in a small rear ender about 5 years ago.everything looked ok. The previous 3 owners had most all of the maintaince performed includingcoolant fhishes,etc. The paint is amazing as it is the Orange Crush color .It has the premium black cloth and clean as a pin. I changed the oil with high mileage synthetic and the engine purrs like a new one.The only issues I have had is the compass mirror is inaccurate and a used one is on the way and a dirtycabin filter,whichI cleaned with soap and water.It even had fairly new tires. It sat on the lot for a long time .I believe buyers were afraid of the high mileage. In my opinion,It rides much better than theGrand Cherokees I have owned and gets much better mileage.Currentluy it gets 18 around town and about 22-23 on the highway. Ken

Flush and fill all fluids - oil/filter, coolant, ATF, etc.. Do a suck and fill on the brake reservoir and the PS fluid, new air filter and cabin air filter, and she should be good to go. Jack her up and wiggle her ball joints to she if she shimmies maybe (!). I might run a bottle or two of Techron through at the next few fill ups but other than that........ Enjoy!! :clapping:

My 2007 had a screen and not a pollen filter on the A/C. Just a wash once every 6 months is perfect. at 200,000 miles it may also be ready for another plug change. There is a way to calibrate the compass. It isn't letting me copy and paste the instructions but they are in the owners manual on page 100 thru 101.

Compass display (if equipped)
Select this function from the INFO menu. Press the INFO button
repeatedly until the Compass and Odometer are displayed. (Do not
select Trip, DTE, or AFE. The top of the message center must be blank).
The compass reading may be affected when you drive near large
buildings, bridges, power lines and powerful broadcast antenna. Magnetic
or metallic objects placed in, on or near the vehicle may also affect
compass accuracy.
Usually, when something affects the compass readings, the compass will
correct itself after a few days of operating your vehicle in normal
conditions. If the compass still appears to be inaccurate, a manual
calibration may be necessary. Refer to Compass zone/calibration
adjustment.
Most geographic areas (zones) have a magnetic north compass point that
varies slightly from the northerly direction on maps. This variation is four
degrees between adjacent zones and will become noticeable as the
vehicle crosses multiple zones. A correct zone setting will eliminate this
error. Refer to Compass zone/calibration adjustment.
Compass zone/calibration adjustment
Perform this adjustment in an open area free from steel structures and
high voltage lines.
For optimum calibration, turn off all electrical accessories (heater/air
conditioning, wipers, etc.) and make sure all vehicle doors are shut.
1. Turn ignition to the RUN position.
2. Start the engine.
3. Press the INFO button repeatedly until the Compass and Odometer
are displayed. (Do not select Trip, DTE, or AFE. The top of the message
center must be blank).

Note: If the compass displays CAL 000000.0 mi instead of heading
information, the compass will need to be calibrated. Slowly drive the
vehicle in a circle (less than 3 mph [5 km/h]) until the CAL indicator
changes to display compass heading. This may take up to 3 circles to
complete calibration.
4. Determine your magnetic zone by
referring to the zone map.
5. Press and hold the RESET until
the message center display changes
to show the current zone setting.
6. Release the RESET control, then
slowly press RESET down again.
7. Press the SETUP control
repeatedly until the correct zone
setting for your geographic location
is displayed on the message center. To exit the zone setting mode press
and release the RESET control.
8. Press the RESET control to start
the compass calibration function.
9. Slowly drive the vehicle in a
circle (less than 3 mph [5 km/h])
until the CIRCLE SLOWLY TO
CALIBRATE indicator changes to
CALIBRATION COMPLETED. This
will take up to three circles to complete calibration.
10. The compass is now calibrated.
