Unfortunately, not too many factory RHD Cherokees were ever made. The demand for them is still relatively high however. My wife is a rural mail carrier and she would love a RHD Jeep. Yes they are quite expensive but when compared to any of the other Factory RHDs that have been made for the U.S. market the Cherokees stand alone. They have the most cargo volume without being to big, 4WD, high production numbers compared to other models, and as we all know, legendary reliability and longevity.
When you think about what other cars were available in RHD (Subaru, Saturn, TJs and JKs) the price versus utility is still better then the rest. I mean a RHD TJ will run 10-15k, a new JK costs 25-30k. I got a smoking deal on my wifes Saturn 99 SW1, comparable sales were about 3500-4500, I paid 1800. That was only after 4 months of searching CL and Ebay for a vehicle less than two states away. I know the RHD prices seem rather high but that is what the rural carriers are paying.
Couldnt be farther than the truth,weve got at least 50 97+ still running,all were fairly well equipped!
