Well, title says it all really. The Shogun will now stay, but will be off the road, and trailered to events. But, the Jeep. Dad saw a GC at a local dealer on Saturday at £2950, and it was P Reg, and similar spec to the one that we have bought, and he said that these things are so cheap that we should get one to tow the Shogun about. Besides, he misses the Sorento, so this would also shut him up. But I reckoned we could go a bundle cheaper, so straight onto the internet, and found the one that we ended up buying - http://atsearch.autotrader.co.uk/www/CARS_popup...d=200718282396599
What do you think??? Full tan leather, cruise, climate control, well, everything really (if you know anything about Jeeps, then it should be obvious) But really cannot fault the car. Its IMMACULATE, and that really does not describe it strongly enough. There are a few small dinks, but the guy is getting rid of them, FOC, hes filling her right up, and theres been a new exhaust fitted, and a new tyre at the front. Gobsmaked as to what you can get for £1850!!!  Bring on Wednesday  Never posted here before either...
Here are some piccys -

Yep, that's nice. You certainly do get a lot of car for your money where Jeeps are concerned.

very similar to the one i just got for £1200.00 love mine to bits its great if you want a bit more grunt out of them theres a bolt on mod called a throtle body spacer just bolts on the manifold between the throtle body 10 mins to do four bolts thats it and it pulls beter from lowdown
and another weird thing is the electronic overdrive as you drive you will get the sensation of the clutch slipping its normal the switch to turn it off is on the left of the steering colum

 Er, yeah it does. But really, would you? There's a reason Jeep are stopping production of the commander in a couple of years. Its not selling.
If i (ever) had the money for a full size 7 seater SUV, i'd be looking at the Land Cruiser VX or a Chevy Tahoe (available in RHD if you look around).

You got a point UKJEEPER. They ain't too hot on the pretty scale. Looks like the front was designed in the dark! Maybe I'll stick to my Disco for now!

Yes but it's got 7 seats which is what you asked, you didn't ask "Do Jeep do a seven seater, but not the Commander 'coz it looks like a bag o' frogs" did ya.
tsk.
