As B.C.'s top Jeep sales person in 1996, Steve Poole knows a thing or two about Cherokees. “Resale value is one of the key factors in buying or leasing a new vehicle. The Grand Cherokee has been an outstanding performer in this area. Of course, the secure, sophisticated feel of Grand Cherokee also plays a part in the buying decision."
