Default thinking of buying a jeep

hi, i live in england and am going to have a baby so need the space
my old car is small so thought that i would get a jeep grand chereokee limited 1997 plate. for 800 pounds
all the reviews are mixed...is it a good car?
will it be reliable?
ok i know it might drink a bit, hence i might get it converted to lpg, might not, not sure yet, but will it look after me for a year or two.
it seems in good condition but i do not know much about cars...any reliable feedback?
im guessing most people will be biased here, or maybe not.
when i had an alfa these forums really helped alot.
so perhaps this is the way forward.
thanks for any feedback
david

Welcome to our forum!

If its got the 4.0 straight 6 it'll be really reliable if it was taken care of.

How many miles on it?

Jeeps are very reliable when it comes to drivetrain. They tend to have issues when it comes to sensors and that sort of thing though. Take that for what its worth.
