Has any one ever owned one, or had any experience of them?
The other half is thinking about one !!
Cheers

 

there is a few threads on here about them.i had 4 of them there dead on just thirsty bastards and values drop like a stone

 

Was thinking about the 3.0 l oil burner

 

My old man has had both the Cherokee and Grand Cherokee, both were petrol versions.

His preference was the Cherokee because it was more robust than the Grand Cherokee, his Grand ate tyres and brakes for fun also the front diff decided to munch itself up resulting in a very hefty bill (even at mates rates) thats when he sold it and went back to Land Rover for another Discovery.

Agree with Mark RS about them being thirsty and the values dropping like a stone.

 

Mitsubishi shogun mate
The cherokees burn money

 

Getting parts isn't a quick experience either from Jeep ,someone i know waited 6 days for a stat .

 

stay away there utter shite and eat the top half of there own engine in the diesel model, and the petrols sup like oliver read, they are cheap for a reason and will get even cheaper for the same reason.
also they are ugly as sin.

 

Mate of mine has just bought a 57 plate 3.0l Diesel for 14k.......i could of thought of ALOT better cars to buy imho

 

I came close to buying one last month. I went to look at it at a garage and the next thing I know I came away with a Merc ML

 

The newer style 05-onwards version uses the Merc 3.0TDi engine doesn't it?? I quite like them in Overland Spec to be honest...

+ 1........

 

Well I've had a couple and NEVER gave me any bother:

Had the GC 5.2 V8, 5.9 V8 and the 2.7 Diesel.

Did LOADS of miles, utter comfy, reliable mechanics just the odd swith and such that would act up.

Thirsty allright but what do you expect?
