Unique copy
You don’t see the Jeep Grand Cherokee of the first generation very often anymore. Most copies had a hard life and ended up in export or scrapped long ago. In our used car range you will now find a unique Jeep that, although it has weighed 3 tons, is still in pristine condition. And we’re not even talking about the performance!
Take a seat, because if you have a thing for these kinds of cars, this one will blow your mind. Look at this: a Jeep Grand Cherokee originally delivered in the Netherlands that always slept inside, wears a bright red paint, has a beige interior and, according to the seller, only knew one owner. Stop looking, because you won’t find a second one. The RR-TT-95 – ‘a nice license plate too’, as colleague Jan Lemkes already remarked – has recently been for sale in the middle of the country and, according to the advertiser, may change owners for the first time in his life.
If we check the registration history, it turns out that the car from 2021 was with its second owner until recently. This may be a family member of the original owner and the seller therefore speaks of ‘the first’. One thing is certain: from 1997 to 2021, the car was always with the same one. Possibly this is a person who started to get older and became less mobile, because the photos of the maintenance book show that the car had already covered 235,000 kilometers in 2007.
In recent years, it has therefore been driven relatively little, but apparently that does not mean that the car disappeared into a corner neglected. On the contrary. The interior is still brand new, the characteristic wheels are still in excellent condition judging by the photos and the paint is still bright red over the entire – and quite large – carriage. That color combines nicely with the beige interior in which you can find the operation of all kinds of luxuries. Cruise control, electrically adjustable and heated seats, air conditioning: it’s done.
With a rear window that can be opened separately, as befits an American SUV!
Jeep Grand Cherokee
Under the hood of the Grand Cherokee is a 5.2-liter V8 that never needs to produce much more than 200 horsepower. The block, coupled to a four-speed automatic transmission, will not be tired – even after more than 3 tons. A high peak power should not be known to the American power source; strong it is. The Jeep equipped with a detachable tow bar can have up to 3,500 kg on its hook. The car itself weighs just over 1,800 kg (empty weight), relatively little compared to contemporary SUVs.
The car will therefore not be nearly as crash-safe as modern cars in the large SUV segment, but you will sit in it almost as royally. And that for a fraction of the price. The provider asks €8,950 for the Jeep. Not a pittance, but then you have a lot of car and appearance. According to the undersigned, this generation of Jeep is starting to dry up nicely and, partly because of this, it can even have its golden details on the outside. Who will enjoy this red American for years to come?
