Looking at a 2009 Jeep SRT8 at the weekend as a family wagon - anything in particular to be aware of?

It has warranty until Apr 15, just had AC replaced, needs new brakes in 6k km (according to Jeep) - and apparently it's had other work under warranty but without seeing the book I'm not sure what was involved.

Thanks for the comments. I'd like to update the thread but unfortunately the seller didn't bother replying to my calls or messages today so we're looking at other cars.

Not so keen on the Pajero or Prado but they seem to be the best family car options.

Add the VW Touareg to the list.

We purchased ours in 2008 and its never set a foot wrong. Solid build quality, nice interior and a more than capable off roader.
Cheers, will do. Tried to view a couple but always sold when I call.

Looking at a couple of Pajeros and an X5 tonight and will go from there. The X5 sounds ok (2010 3.0 model) but I'm led to believe they are a time bomb.

(I've already got a Golf and an Up, can't get a Touareg as well!!)

Thanks Matt - unfortunately a way over my budget. Maybe next time!

Went down a different route in the end - Ford Edge. Not quite the same I admit!

Ford EDGE????? What's that got to do with the price of fish?
Was hoping to get an 09 SRT 8 but the guy mugged me off. The car is actually for my wife and she chose an Edge instead. It's a stronger man than me that stands in the way of a 7 month pregnant woman with her mind set to something!
