SOLD - Jeep Grand Cherokee. 5.7 Overland with LPG


corsechris

Recommended Posts

Time to sell the old truck. We hardly need one car, yet we have 3, and I'm building another.

 

Late 2006, 56 plate.

Dark blue metallic

Overland spec, grey interior, sunroof, NAV, pleather and suede seats, "wood" trim :), power memory drivers seat, memory radio (seat and radio settings follow the key that is assigned to a given memory), power passenger seat, TPMS and a bunch of other stuff I forget.

96k miles

Prinz multipoint LPG system with 105l toroid tank under boot floor (where the spare usually sits). Also has 'valve saver' fluid injection option fitted. Not strictly required for the Hemi, but I'm paranoid.

5.7l Hemi V8 (330bhp 375ft/lb)

Quadra-DriveII 4WD system with electronics diffs.

Tow hitch with removable ball.

Bury BlueTooth phone interface.

 

£3500 

 

Full disclosure of everything I know - don't want to waste anyones time. 

 

Service history was main dealer bar the service before we got it, and it's been DIY since. (I wrongly thought it was patchy before but recently checked the paperwork - it isn't patchy at all. Idiot).

 

All current recalls done. Last one introduced an 'issue' that Jeep won't fix without putting a new transfer box in it (at owners expense). If battery goes flat or is disconnected, next time you try to engage LOW RANGE it throws an error and refuses to engage, then keeps bleating about 'service 4WD system'. It drives normally in high range in this state. This can be fixed by a little routine (details provided) that takes 2 minutes, costs nothing and the fault goes away until battery is next removed (or totally drained). After the fix, low & high range work normally. Feel free to Google this one - consensus is it's a firmware error more than anything else, backed up by the fact the thing was fine before the last recall for a firmware upgrade.

 

Slight fluid leak (so slight there isn't even a mark on the drive) from transmission coolant lines near radiator - seems to be a stock feature on a Jeep. A Cherokee I used to have was the same. I bought new cooler lines but never got round to fitting them - included in sale.

 

Occasional harsh upshift from 3rd when on very light throttle. Silky smooth under all other conditions. Has done this since we got it.

 

During my ownership, it's had the following: I put a new starter motor on it, new ABS sensors on right side (Only 1 was faulty, I changed the wrong one first...), one new lambda probe, new lower front wishbone balljoints, new front diff mounting rubbers ( a known issue with these), new windscreen washer pump, new tailgate struts.

 

Stainless CAT-back exhaust fabricated and fitted 17/1/21

 

Done just over 15k miles in the 8 years we've had it.

 

4 excellent Goodyear M&S tyres (almost no miles on them). Decent spare.

 

Located near Evesham, Worcestershire.

Lots of views but zero interest. Would appreciate honest opinions about what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks chaps - appreciate the input. I did wonder about time of year. It wouldn't alter my own buying choices, but I see why it might be a factor. Pictures - indeed...as soon as I can wash it!  I'm also very conscious that my insistence on full disclose probably doesn't do me any favours...but that's just me and won't be changing.

The full-disclosure, done in the right "tone" can be a remarkably powerful sales tool, (intentionally or accidentally). However, when ever if seen it work really positively, it's been when there have been plenty of good photos, too, so that potential buyers can make their minds up with more than just the description.

Hi Andy,

 

Sorry, only just spotted this.

 

still haven’t taken any pictures....but will do some today. Anything specific you’d like to see?

 

Yep, still for sale. I SORNed it at the beginning of this month for obvious reasons!

Pics at last. I gave it a cursory wash about a week ago.

 

I keep it on a CTEK as it tended to sit for weeks at a time even before it was on SORN.

 

No picture of the spare - it's buried. Wheel is in good order, tyre is a decent legal spare.
