Went to look at a GC today

As it says above I took a 97 p reg grand cherokee for a test drive today. Oh it was so nice to get back in motor that fits me properly.

Anyway they are asking £2499 for it, however it's not perfect. drivers mirror has gone funny and can't see anything in it, ABS light on. Poss warped discs and a slight pull to the left, and no towbar. On the plus side it's only got 61k on it,it's a 4 litre, the back axle has been done and it drives nice a quietly. Also has a good service history.

I struck a deal with the bloke but I think i'm getting ripped off and want to see what you guys think.

Basicly he's agreed to swap it for my 98 3.9 disco thats got 105k on it, however it's gas converted and the GC isn't,  also he wants me to put a new MOT on the disco. That said the GC will have a new mot but i'm going to have to put on a towbar and gas convert it.

I would have liked to have had £500 notes in my hand as well really. Am I being greedy?

bigrapids_offroad:
you can pick up 1997 lpg'd grand cherrys from about £1400 and they will do about 400,000 miles before they are broken (regularly serviced with usual rear diff/front diff problems)

search on eblag there are quite a few

The Smiths:
I would have thought you would have got a fair bit of money back on the deal - known faults and no LPG (£1200/1500?)

Hi Big Rapids, I remember you supplied a lift kit for my XJ a couple of years ago. How things?

offroading.net:
for £3600 you can have my 99 mk2 cherry, much better car, anything over £2k for an old one is too much IMHO
