The JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE (1999-05) 5DR STATION WAGON 4WD 4.7 V8 OVERLAND AUTO5 is a large, premium-leaning 4x4 SUV, rather than an ordinary family estate. In the UK used-car market, it appeals to buyers wanting space, a commanding driving position and genuine all-weather ability, while its age and running costs make it a more specialist choice than newer mainstream SUVs. mycarcheck.com has recorded 309 look-ups covering 122 different VINs, a useful sample for this older model. Checks show an average private-sale valuation of £1,300 and latest recorded mileage of 106,000 miles; average annual use is 3,000 miles. The data also indicates about four previous keepers on average. The 4.7-litre V8 feels strong and relaxed, while four-wheel drive helps on country roads and in weather. Expect higher fuel and upkeep costs than with a Toyota RAV4 or Land Rover Freelander. It suits enthusiasts or families seeking space and character over economy.
