Default Whats this worth?2000 grand Cherokee new shape?

I tried putting this question up before but got shot down as I was in business at the time (6-7months ago) but where do you canny pf'ers value this?
Its my 2000 facelift Cherokee,all the toys as you'd expect,4.0litre but on gas,proper expensive sequential system,in perfect working order,up to 30mpg equivalent,maybe a touch more if your gentle!!!
I know it's potentially a gd question but it's going to be moved here eventually so I may as well do it now!!!










The bad bits are:
No Mot
Is cat c,did the repair myself professionally,looks great in patriot blue metallic.
Rear wheel bearing gone quite badly,appears to have damaged studs on the hub etc,although been told this is an easy fix?
Drivers seat slightly worn and does not always tilt.
A couple of scratches,but generally very straight,no rust.
Sometimes has an annoying seat memory fault,which beeps!!!

Good bits:
All leccys work
Two remotes,his and hers,remembers memory seat when your getting in and so on.
Auto 4speed which is nice and lazy!!!!can be programmed to put a fifth gear on,I dont think mine has been though.
Loads of new parts,been a well maintained car.
SO comfy
Quick with 200bhp
Looks newer as the shape stayed til 2005/2006
Working towbar,resided by myself using SOLDER,not gayboy scotchlocks.
Starts first time,everytime.
Gas system makes it cheaper to run than most biggish hatchbacks.
Good off road.

It's not a shed but I've always felt cat c still have a stigma attached to it,so there's a ceiling of course,although they paid out a whopping £5400 on this plus he kept the salvage,where I came in as Id recovered the car and knew it's history etc.
When I was using this and out of work I did a few car deliveries/collections and it never missed a beat,went all over the country,you never knew you were towing it's so torquey!!!
One day,on a private stretch of course I took it up to 120mph and it felt like there's a little left but I shit out!!!

My question is,repair the axle,Mot it,vic it and get good dollar or let it go as is with less hassle.

I've looked about and gas cars under 100k (this is 93k) start at £2500 so as cat c it should be starting at say £1800/2000 or am I way off?as a project id think it's worth still £1500?

Opinions sought,thanks in advance.
