Had a great run with my Cherokee it never let me down. Sold it to a friend and its still going hard. After seeing the run i had in my cherokee another friend here in Karamea bought 1. His wife had an prang while driving over the bluffs and they were never happy with the repair work so they wouldnt except it back. They got paid out 12g and went and bought a nz new with service records grand cherokee overland v8 with around 120000km on the clock. That was about 4 years ago now and apart from regular servicing witch is done at the agents in chch theres only been 1 sensor (cant recall what for) thats needed replacement. They claim its abit better on fuel than thier 6 cylinder cherokee. For a hard out tow wagon theres lots of options but they wont all have a v8 motor.

thats a good point, been offered a 2003 explorer from dads mate down the pub, 80,000kms mags leather v8for 17k pretty good deal, and its just down the road rather tempting since to get a jeep i gotta go either nelson or queenstown, but from what everyones said i think its would be a bad idea.
