Title: What do you think?
Post by: SEDDEY on July 13, 2008, 12:16:02: I have just been looking at a Grand Cherokee 4.7 with LPG on a T plate.

The bloke said Â£2.5k for a quick sale. I thought more like Â£2k. Am I off the mark or what?

Also what do you think about them as a vehicle?

I'd say snap his hand off...

No major issues other than diff (classic Grand problem)

Post by: The Smiths on July 14, 2008, 14:28:27: Has the 4.7 got the better diff though?

It's a good price at Â£2500 with LPG - better at Â£2000 though :D

Post by: SEDDEY on July 14, 2008, 16:29:36: Is there a 'cheap' insurance company that anybody know of?

I am at the moment in a specialist landie one, is there a similar. The difference I have been quoted is Â£304 on the landie and Â£508 on the jeep.

I am just a bit paranoid about costs. I know it will be more than the disco on bits but how much would an exhaust be for example?

Post by: Bishops Finger on July 14, 2008, 22:45:09: Try Adrian Flux for the insurance...

AS for stuff like exhausts and the like speak to a clued in local exhaust place....unless you want something like a Borla... :rolleyes: :dance:

Post by: SEDDEY on July 16, 2008, 09:38:22: I think with all my messing about checking things I may have missed it! :roll:

I have been told that it just had 2 new tyres and a new wind screen due to a stone chip and it went for an MOT and needs some bushes on the back suspension but the bloke thinks it has gone, for ............... wait for it ........ Â£1500! :doh:

Just in case it hasn't, how much for the bits, any ideas?
Title: Re: What do you think?
Post by: Bishops Finger on July 16, 2008, 23:45:23: Rear bushes...possibly @Â£200 from a dealer...if self fit

If its gone for @1500 24 cans of Stella @Â£20.....
