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.

Also,if anyones genuinely interested,message me on here,I'm open to all sorts of deals as is,all done or somewhere in the middle!!!!

Also have a car trailer which is the bollox,twin axle,electric remote winch etc for around £1200,a fair bit less than it stands me but could deal on the two.

anyone?

Big Mart

I'd say it's worth about 700 quid as it is

£700?hmmm,it won't be sold for that!!!the LPG sytems worth double alone.I think it could be a fixer upper,I saw a complete axle for £200 on eBay last night which could be fitted.

Probably for the best,take what your saying though.

I'd of thought £1k tops.
It's on the register, no mot, needs a fair bit of work and is generally not very nice apart from it has the lpg conversion. Second thoughts. £700 seems a better valuation tbh.

one of our managers had one of these last year just as a run around between cars, was fairly straight, fairly clean a average motor really and he struggled to get £1400 for it. unless it does 50+mpg people just don't want them these days which is a shame as i think they're actually a nice motor to drive.

We had one of these and had no end of problems trying to sell it... 4.0 petrol gave around 19mpg around town but into the 30's on a long trip. it was a fab car and we would love another.

I would guess with no MOT its worth around £500-800... with a test and being cat c i would guess around £1400 - 1600 ish. But to be fair, its a long shot now days with the fuel costs at around 1.39p per ltr.

dazoriginal

with no mot you will struggle all day to move it on
also being a cat d doesn't help
it has good and bad points but leaning towards the bad here because of the above
£895

hi guys,going to finish it off now instead,its a really nice car aside from the rear axle but I can get that done for £200,then recon mine and sell it back on,its only a bearing and a half shaft after all.
Its far too good too sell for less than a grand,theres people asking double that for an old shape and their hideous on road,not bad off road though!!!
Its getting finished then going on the bay for around £2k,I cant find a dedcent lpg under 100K for less than 2K?
I may use it until say november then sell it when the snow arrives,anything 4x4 doubles in price then!!!
I noticed lpg was down to 65p a litre in asda t`other day so thats giving me 35mpg equivalent,not bad.
