Man! simple question and you get cross-examined. The car is worth 2500-4500 depending on area, time of year and luck. In the northeast I see 9-3's going for as low as 2000 if they have high miles, but with a little over 100k I would guess 3500 in the NY metro area. Check ebay (completed items) for local comparisons. That will give you real market value. Blue book and NADA have nothing to do with reality.
Now my turn to flame you. Cherokee's stink, I know because I own one. They are gas guzzlers (14-18mpg) and if its the grand Cherokee get ready for some serious repair bills. In the 3 years I owned my 94 Cherokee country it left me stranded twice and cost almost 1k a year to keep running. The grand Cherokee's are even worse. In comparison, over 3 years my 94 saab NG900 never left me stranded and has cost about $500 in general upkeep, no major failings. If you want an SUV I would shop around, maybe trade-in the saab, for a Montero, 4runner, land cruiser or the like. You may pay more but will make up the difference in the long run. They are bigger and way more reliable and have a higher resale value. I have a big dog too (130lb German Shepard) and the cargo space in the Cherokee really is not sufficient. The montero's have 7 seat capacity run forever and 30% more cargo room then the Cherokees. They also tend to be cheaper then other Japanese SUV's. I had one and sold it, regretting it ever since, that truck was awesome.
