y'all are killing me with your deliveries and buyings. mine is still stuck in the states with demon performance. I know i'll be getting a good product once they're done, but it's already been soooooo long and the finish date keeps getting pushed back for every reason under the sun. sigh. anybody around cambridgeshire want to give me a pity ride in theirs?

I agree, a little more noise and some decent rubber will do!

yeah, why indeed? why even make an SRT when they come with a 5.7? why make a hellcat version when you've got the SRT 6.4? silly people wanting more power for no tangible reason...

New car done, magnaflow exhaust and 22" rims. The 20" dub rims from my old car are for sale, they are pictured in my earlier message.

After seeing a fairly new Grand Cherokee recently and really liking it I didn't even realise they still sold an SRT version here. They look brillian and I think your cars look great. As an n/a large capacity V8 it must be in a niche of one now? Everyone else has gone over to forced induction but nothing beats a big HEMI! Also seems like such an honest car when Range Rovers and the like have gone off in such an odd direction to appease the Far East etc.

Shocked at how good it was off road, so were the Range Rover brigade!

HOw are people finding the depriciation on these.
Have always loved them - even the preious model but never got a chance to own one.
I would like a facelift one of these but dont want to buy at the wrong time and loose a st load of money.
Happy to lose 3-4k a year, I have only ever bought one car that has done better than that.

3-4k a year? More like 25k first year, 10k second then down to circa 5-7k a year till they hit £15k then sit there by the looks.

Theres nothing else quite like it and to be fair depreciation is no worse than the equivelant european big petrol suv.

Have started to take interest in these again. How have owners found them?

Any issues in dealer servicing or repairs

I've had mine 5 years and still love it like i did when i bought it.

No longer remotely stock, but still a daily 700whp drive

Any questions, ask away smile

I’ve got one, when I bought it I was told by Jeep that it was the only one in the country that was this colour, Steel Blue. I’ve since seen another in this colour on eBay, Jeep recon this must be an import as they only sold them in black or silver and that mine was a special order. It’s first owner was a football player who lived in Oxford. I love it and have owned it for over seven years. My wife hates it so I’ve told her that I’ll sell it, but as far as I’m aware that hot place hasn’t frozen over yet!
