I bought my very first Jeep
 

Hi Just introducing myself, I went out and bought myself an old Jeep Grand Cherokee this morning,it is still with the seller a small car yard in Doncaster UK. I got my VW Polo through the M.O.T. yesterday and part ex it for the Jeep, but I forgot to take my log book in, so I had to drive home for it, me and the missus searched for two hours, and my missus found it eventually right in the top drawer of the filing cabinet where I had looked ten times :furious: Anyway when I got back the yard was closed and my Jeep had been stored away somewhere. Its a Bank holiday this weekend in the UK so it will be Tuesday before I can seal the deal :yes: I only got £200 for the Polo it nearly cost that much to get it tested :furious: and I got the Jeep for £1500 a 2002 model with a 2.7 diesel engine. I took it for a short test ride it was comfy enough but seemed to roll quite a lot ?

welcome

Thank you for the welcome but my Jeep Cherokee ownership was short lived, I bought it on finance and brought it home, I could,nt drive it until my insurance renewal date which was today 5th June. I had it parked up under my carport at the side of my bungalow, I had to move it to get my wheelbarrow into my front garden, but the engine management light stayed on, so I went and got it booked in under its 28 day warranty, which is tomorrow 6th June. I put it away after gardening, the next day there was no power at all it just clicked when I tried to turn it over, I had a gut feeling I had bought a bad deal so I contacted the dealer to return it. So if it is just a flat battery and it starts up I will be sad to see it go, but I am a 70 year old pensioner on basic pension and I could not afford a string of repair jobs, my son and daughters who paid my insurance for me are all mad at me, but I feel I made the right choice. Trouble is my part exchange sold straight away so I do not have transport
