I would be more concerned with the fact that it’s a KL Cherokee than with the salt. I’ve had $50-60K worth of repairs (all under warranty, of course) done on my ‘15 Trailhawk.

We are going to look at a TRAILHAWK tomorrow. The other one mentioned first wont be available to view for a couple more days.

No concern whatsoever with its reliability… I have owned at least one, sometimes two, Jeeps continuously since 1985 with good results. Maybe my luck holds up!

What problems have you had?

Curious what car your father had that you describe.

It's a Buick. Don't recall the model, but it's a four door, electronic everything, backup camera, very nice ride, very comfortable. The underside is an impressive example of metals coatings, sealing, and passivation. It's the nicest original factory underside of a vehicle I've seen.

It's important to keep in mind when car sellers in the NorthEast say they wash their car frequently in the winter-

Most Northern states recycle car wash water, and most facilities likely do not include a desalination and water purification process (to remove salts and other impurities (it's expensive).
So as the winter progresses the wash water gets even more salty.
