Hi All, I hope you might indulge me with an exercise on the value of two vehicles I'm comparing for purchase.
Vehicle 1 is a 2002 Grand Cherokee, Limited with 82,500 miles. Very clean and mechanically inspected. 4.7 Liter V-8 with the Quadra-Drive system. Other baubles, leather, moon-roof, factory tow pkg., tow hooks on front, dual temp controls, 10 CD changer and cassette player, side impact airbags,
90 day warranty. Car drives out very nice. Asking $13,999, will come down some from that.Vehicle 2 is a 2002 Grand Cherokee, Laredo with 37,950 miles. Also very clean but as-is. 4.7 Liter V-8 with a Selec-Trac system. Other options make it like a Limited. Leather, moon-roof, factory tow pkg., no tow hooks though, single temp control, single CD and cassette player, driver and passenger airbags, 30 day warranty. Drives out very nice. Lowest price, $15,200
V-1 is cherry, obviously a highway car. V-1 seems like a mongrel with the V-8/Selec-Trac system and the Limited trim on a Laredo. Any candid thoughts? I'm particularly interested to know if the Selec-Trac system is good behind that V-8. I think it might save a bit on gas mileage maybe. Thanks. D
