vehicle description:

You are bidding on a Jeep Grand CHEROKEE registered in 1996 - it is the 4 litre petrol automatic model with 104,000 miles on the clock.
It is the Orvis Up Country limited edition - the up country came with slightly raised suspension ( +2 ) and tougher springs / shocks. It also has a decent interior spec.
I have had this vehicle for a couple of years as a dedicated 2nd vehicle for my hunting and outdoor pursuits - so it only gets used 2 or 3 times a month. We have three cars now ( and only two parking spaces ) and this one gets used the least so it has to go. If I had the money and extra parking space, I would have kept it.
The rear seat base has been removed so that the rear seat back is folded down leaving a 6 foot long and flat load space. I do not have the removed seat so this is being sold as a 2 seater / van conversion. If you can find a rear seat base, you can easily reconfigure it as a 5 seater car.
The good bits - 
Although a powerful 4 litre petrol, I am getting 15 mpg in town and 22 on motorways at a steady 60 mph. And due to its age, it qualifies for the old £225 per year tax rather than the punishing amounts they charge for newer 4x4s.
The bodywork is very good considering this vehicle is 19 years old and has been used off road. The usual scratches and scuffs on a vehicle of this age but no dents.
Front and rear bumpers in sound condition.
The rear windows have had a professional window tint applied. You can tell the quality - look at the view from inside - you barely notice the tint - but from outside its a very dark tint - a sure sign of quality tinting.
Alloys are in nice shiny condition with practically no corrosion. Fitted with top quality tyres last year - lots of thread remaining. The spare is a matching tyre and is BRAND NEW.
Last year I specially ordered from USA, 4 genuine Up-Country spec shock absorbers - only covered a couple of thousand miles on them so they are as new. I also replaced all four discs and cured the dreaded Grand Cherokee binding brakes ( a common problem on Grand Cherokees ) I fitted a new battery for last winter.  I have serviced this vehicle myself giving it regular oil changes between services.
Starts first time, every time even when left for a week or more. The automatic transmission is smooth.
Electric windows all work with exception of rear nearside window ( might be as simple as a fuse or loose wire / switch )
Electric seats work perfectly. They are typical American seats - like a comfy leather sofa !!
The interior carpeting is all original and very clean for its age.
The interior trim is all in good condition with no loose bits.
The not so good bits -
The quarter light ( the little pane of glass behind the rear nearside passenger window ) was broken and I have fitted a piece of sheet metal over it to blank it off rather than fit a new pane of glass.
The MOT has expired and I dont have the time or money to get a new one.
There is the odd drip ( very little ) from the underside - I think its the transmission ATF fluid but it does not seem to affect the gearchange etc and the ATF level does not seem seem to go down.
One rear window has stopped working ( see above )
Finally - I will be totally honest and say it looks better in the photos than in real life - looks shiny and pristine in photos but although its not too shabby in reality - its not pristine !!! It is 19 years old after all.
VIEWING ADVISED IF YOU ARE UNSURE - YOU ARE BIDDING TO BUY, NOT TO VIEW. IF YOU WANT TO VIEW, PLEASE DO SO BEFORE BIDDING.
Located in March, Cambridgeshire - viewing by appointment.
All in all, a good honest hard working 4x4 - ideal if you want to carry large loads regularly - or even use as a camper ( I have chucked an inflatable mattress and duvet in the back and taken it to France for a tour of the Normandy battlefields / museums last year ) or you use it for carting about your hunting / shooting / camping gear or whatever............
Offered at classified price of only £700 which is a bargain considering the shocks cost £200, the battery £100, the discs £50, the tyres £450 and the tinting £120.
At time of listing there is even £70 of fuel in the tank !!!
