Hi, I am looking at purchasing a Grand Cherokee, the shape from 2005-2010, I have looked at a few already, all very tidy examples all with low amounts of owners (2 max) my dilemma is do I go for an older model, say a 2006/7 with around 65k on the clock or do I go for a 2010 with just over 100k on the clock? All cars have full service history & I would assume that if you have managed to put just over 100k on the clock in 4.5years then it would most probably be motorway milage. Are their any obvious things I should look out for? Especially on the high milage cars? Just wondered what the masses would do? I know that model was face lifted end of 2008 & I think I prefer the face lifted model. Any thoughts/suggestions would be appreciated. FYI my yearly milage in the car would be around 5k maximum.

I've been doing some more research & it appears these Jeeps seem to be priced more on condition than age. Eg I have seen many 2006/7 Grands with what I would call respectable miles (60k / 80k) going for around £9000 / £9500 vs 2009 / 2010 Jeeps with 100k + miles for £10500! 2006 high miler's for around £6500. With respectable miles on a 2009 /2010 £14500.

So in short a 2006 with high miles £6500 - with low miles £9000

A 2010 with high miles £10500 - with low miles £14500

& obviously 2007 / 2009 anything in between.

I am now leaning towards buying on condition rather than going for the newest model I can aford in average condition. Although I think the oldest I would want to go is 2007.

Does the majority agree with my thought process in this matter?
