Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Been toying with the idea of outing my BMW X3 and getting something similar but slightly bigger. I really like the look of the GC, looking for a diesel, high spec for between £8-12K. I used to know someone that had one so I'm aware of the slightly "iffy" interior plastics but I also remember it being very comfy and having a nice ride, I like the look of them in black.

Are there any nasty faults that can arise and has anyone here owned one?

Thanks in advance.

I also used to be interested in these and I can tell you its a fairly solid car from what I have seen. You are correct it is not the sexiest of interiors however it is nice, it works and is comfortable.

The engine and drivetrain are mercedes sourced and if you can squeeze the facelift model in the 12k I think you would be laughing.

considering one myself right now or a VW touraeg or if I am feeling loopy, a high millage cayenne.

Jeep defo has bang for buck with the added benefit of being newish with lower millage.


Also if you can - the overland is the one you want - it is FULLY LOADED.

something like this - main dealer too

Cheers. That example is the type I'm looking for. What year did it get a facelift?

I had a 4 litre laredo in the US for 5 years.......was OK. but the A/C went and the electrics always played up

A neighbour of mine has an Overland & had it for about 5 years or so. Had very few problems with it & it's now on LPG. They aren't as big inside as they are outside though - bit of a reverse Tardis.

I hired one on holiday a few years ago (previous model) - it was a 4.0 Limited. Fuel consumption was not bad at steady speeds, but a bit tragic around town (especially if you use the loud pedal).

Excellent value cars if you ask me & I like the interior
