Good condition WJ 4.7 or baggy WK 4.7/5.7.

I had this in the off-road section, but no bites, so I'll have a go here:

I've been fancying a Jeep Grand Cherokee in V8 flavour. In the £4-6,000 bracket you can get good condition late WJs with the HO 4.7. Or a 120,000 mile WK 4.7 (not HO bizarrely) or 5.7.

Which is going to be best at sitting around and getting used at weekends and in the winter. Fuel economy not important for 2,000 miles a year so I really don't want the hassle or lack of boot space of LPG.

I would love a 5.7, just because I've never had one so big! wink But the WK looks a lot more complicated than a WJ... And I think the WK looks better, I think...

Do either of them suffer from corrosion? Most MOT histories seem to show corroded brake pipes but not much more than that.

It will not be doing any serious off roading, so 300bhp/ton - no lift kits, snorkels or winches!

Thanks.

Thanks. I'll have a look over there.

I would get a really nice WJ 4.7 as you say, but for similar money I could get a not as nice WK 5.7.
