I BOUGHT A CHEAP JEEP CHEROKEE FOR £500!

foreign [Music] guys how's it going welcome back have you ever thought hmm you know what I really want to watch today on YouTube I want to watch a secondhand car dealer from Stockport by a scruffy old Jeep Cherokee on a miserable rainy day well folks today is your lucky day because that's exactly what's happening I got a call the other day for my contact at a local main dealer and they've just taken in part to exchange this 2007 Jeep Cherokee 2.7 crd and because I buy my cars in bulk and I don't want to burn my bridges I just agreed to buy it as I do with all cars some are very good some are very bad as you've seen but most are okay so I just say yes to everything and then worry about it afterwards now I've paid just 500 pounds for this car so I'm not too concerned I can't really go wrong with 500 quid can I kind of I haven't actually seen it yet I didn't want to ruin the surprise so I thought today you could join me we could go have a look around this car together how does that sound how bad can it be right I'll see you there well we're here what I'm going to do with this it's from the north east originally it's a late 2003-53 the tires look bald from here needs a very good clean this this has been owned by somebody a bit horsey it's just been a farm calm I guess it doesn't look like somebody's pride and joy we've got lots of black electrical tape holding the wing mirrors together lovely I'm not too sure what I'm gonna do with this um I had lumps could do with the Polish usual stuff really it's got an Oldham athletic tax disk holder I bought grounded Robert's car haven't I or his son Elvis meat pie sausage roll come on hold them years ago right may as well check this out using car vertical I don't know see if there's anything untoward it's really important you're doing these checks before you buy a used car or a motorbike it's really easy to use all you do is go to carvertical.com type in the vehicle reg or vin in this case it is November Victor five three Yankee Hotel November there we go this will tell us whether it's ever been stolen written off had a mileage rollback or has that still in Finance on it if you want to do all these tricks for yourself and I urge you to do so before you hand over any cash for a used car or motorbike use my promo code high peak and you'll get 10 off each and every check that you do alternatively click the link below in the video description for you 10 off it's cleverness because it works in 35 different countries so it checks millions of cars across dozens of databases and just like that it's ready so this is a Jeep Cherokee you just know the previous owner is referred to as a general Key Don't You Jeep uh theft it's never been stolen the odometer is fine it's never been clocked there's no understanding Finance relief and it's never been involved in any recorded accidents now the mileage isn't too high so the last recorded mileage was 103 806. it's not high is it really for a car that age and it's only done about 1500 2000 miles a year that's weird this has just been used isn't it to take someone's sick horse to the farrier or wherever you take a sick horse surely not the average market price for such a vehicle is three thousand pounds that was me thinking I'm just gonna just gonna scrap this thing but might be worth three grand who'd have thought it it'll be low road tax because it's pre-2006. it's all-wheel drive right hand drive and it's a 2.7 diesel okey-dokey right so the ownership changed in 2012. that makes sense because from 2012 onwards that's when the mileage went quite low yeah that makes sense of course in the US this model is known as the Jeep Liberty which I always thought was ironic because the last thing these Jeeps gave you was any Liberty I found them to be quite unreliable over the years been better off calling it the Jeep Jeep confined with the Jeep stranded maybe that'd be better gotta go on up got lots times to talk in my head now right Feast your eyes on this little rust bucket on the bright side we've got I feel like a jailer got keys Galore I don't know what some of these are for even so we've got a very heavily corroded alloy a scruffy looking worn brake disc the tire is a front for a front four full run I've literally never heard of that uh it's on about four mil of tread though and it is from 2022 not an old tire is it this is slightly concerning the fact that oh dear yeah I think we'll just put that back I don't think this is a three grand car to be honest but we'll see oh it's a sport I tell you what I don't mess around do I I don't buy rubbish on the front oh we've got another front four a front for full run lovely made in China what a surprise uh this is from 2019 and it is on about three mil of tread that's a black electrical tape there holding the mirror in place Mas limited Oldham postcode got all the brake dust on that uh this looks ancient look at the wear on the side wall I can't even see if this is a front four or not where's my front full badge this is from 2019 as well this has been curb doesn't it curbed so much that you can't even see that it's a front four Oldham Athletics uh another rotten silver that someone's painted with some silver hammerites and then they've welded in a patch here or whatever very neat job there isn't it attention to details second to none got lots of moss and stuff growing everywhere like a shed roof this I think with a quick wash would look tons better yeah somebody definitely can't parallel park you can just faintly see the front four say sign saying sign this ear of Jeep has got a fuel filler door thing like you need the key to unlock remember that I've had loads of these over the years I last had a 3.7 V6 that was quite unreliable and we're sending the the customer that bought that a bunch of flowers is an apology because they had to pay a well I paid the repair bill but I sent the flowers just for the inconvenience really because because I'm a good egg it was supplied by John Gill limited B Dale Harrogate New York Chrysler uh it's the 2.7 crd ah this will have the splitful and tailgate uh yeah tailgate hatch thing won't it [Applause] it's not so clever is it let's have a look inside then shall we Daimler Chrysler there all marker quality huh remote locking works right so we've got a worn seat some sort of rubber trim here off something we've got older mathletic mats we'll take the value down and Tad went it uh right hand drive Jeeps generally especially this era I've got this huge sort of transmission tunnel there so you've got nowhere for your left leg I confirm that to be annoying right it's automatic that's quite good news the manuals are a pain to use um I'm surprised actually it doesn't smell too badly because to look at it you'd think it would stink oh 26 Pence there's money everywhere isn't there all you need to do is look there's uh the highest quality doesn't it right service book then let's have a look now off memory these are in the back of the owner's manual weren't they so we've got warranty info so a bit like Renault service stump there we go look at this I know my onions John Gill Jeep Jeep grams of cone coal so this has been done at 50 55 67 Queen and Service Center in Oldham C7 and then another one at 80 and it is done but the last time I took it in 103 something haven't it right well it's filthy it's gross actually but it doesn't smell so thank heaven for small mercies as they say eject CD nope you need the power on for that oh look at that that's a lot of rust isn't it I don't think you're supposed to be able to do that what a bucket what an absolute American engineering there saying that I better get my mouth shut British engineering isn't much better is it we've got lots of rubbish some worryingly stained seats there I don't even want to touch what that is I think it's some sort of I don't know don't like to think some sort of some sort of rude door bins here we've got w a t what it's grateful there isn't another letter on top there right we've got a mini roll good I approve of those window switch is there unusual forgot about that [Applause] um this isn't a three-run car say that for now let's have a look under the bonnet for the hood this end in States that's the heaviest Bonnet I've ever oh yeah that's why because the struts are broken lovely stuff power Tech direct injection crd common rail diesel don't make them like this anymore do they thankfully this five cylinder turbo diesel is one of the noisiest engines ever made well don't really know what I'm looking for under here just looking for anything obvious any obvious leaks any frayed belts apart from it being covered in dust oh it actually looks okay Mindy fingers Jesus cars fall into pieces should we fire up I'm just going to shut this door this reminds me actually many years ago I was selling a 300 series Discovery a p reg I think it was 300 TDI and I was selling it for something like 795 it was just a cheap pass exchange so I advertised it partakes to clear the guy came to look at it and he said something like oh I can tell it's been looked after I can no this is what he said I can tell it's been pampered and as he shut the door like that a load of rust just dropped down the side anyway still bought it do you want for 700 pounds I suppose okay then will she start trans temp it's done 105 515 my radio is set to radio 2. I was trying to recognize what that song was I don't know typical American car beeping and bunion for everything right try this again glow plug oh yeah is it on I can barely hear it [Music] what a creamy smooth engine this is why are you beeping out the problem Bowl the ticket there oh dear I didn't sound good I'm gonna try to engage the aircon is there a CD in here do I need that on no CD I quite like I quite like American cars of this era only because I quite like the fact that I don't have them on this usually they've got volume buttons here behind the steering wheel which is quite handy I also like the fact that you can switch on all the interior lights from this store so that dims the clock but if you turn it one more time all the lights come on which I think is quite a handy little feature oh perform service I also quite like this little display up here so for example you've got a compass there temperature obviously in Fahrenheit zero miles to service 17 to the gallon it's not great is it 48 miles to empty I just quite like this I don't really know why you can reset the service lights all that sort of stuff very good I don't know why the Americans are so obsessed with with compass directions like whenever you're lost in American you stop and ask somebody for directions they always say oh yeah head uh you gotta Head West on Lankershim I don't know what that means just tell me just tell me do I need to go left or right it's like when you stop and ask for directions in the UK it's like okay well keep going until you get to the Bull's Head then turn left if you get to the crown and rank you've gone too far they're the sorts of directions that people lead now or let's Head West Head East business what else can I show you then so I forgot about this this is always quite confusing you'd as you're driving this you'd always you'd assume that would be the window bun wouldn't you but it isn't it's the door lock switch your window switches are down there which is the last place you'd look one works two three four look at this quality an overdrive button I think have we oh yeah look at that OD off been smoked in um I'm not really sure what I'm gonna do with this still 500 pounds I can't really go wrong kind of if I'm really good just spotted we've got some ah admit to Executive cut Executive Car Park exec setting up in this 20 year old giroki I don't think my power mirrors are going to work with all this tape should we try oh these still work handy you know as much as I mark I quite like the fact that you can just bring them in a little bit usually when you fold mirrors in it's they're either in or they're out but with this you can just do it a little bit I like that of course that one's not working at all but one out of two isn't bad is it shall we in fact we're not gonna look in the boots have we oh dear a little bit of a thud wasn't it you've got this slider here as well to indicate which gear you're in let's pull it forward a tad and we'll have a look in the boots oh hamburger doesn't work ah right so that that opens there like that but the struts uh are a bit limp and this opens sideways quite good actually right we've got a dirty bag here which I think has got a tow bar in it yep Oh you know what that's never been used maybe this hasn't been a horsey car you know what I better get a couple hundred quid off eBay for that brand new Jeep towbar parcel Shelf that's worth 50 pounds got a stick here I think this has been used to either prop up that or prop up the bonnet that's what I think this whole piece of skirt towards in there for enjoys right let's go and drive this piece of American Quality I've forgotten that as well that's how you get the spare wheel off you've got to get a wheel brace turn the nuts but it's under that might be quite good if you go through any speed cameras you could just sort of lift that up couldn't it saying that this 160 horsepower engine I don't think he's capable of setting us that many speed cameras [Music] and we've got Bosch wiper blades never Force anything nice and gentle right are you ready for this I cannot wait well so far I'll tell you what this little 2.7 flat oh Dell 2.7 flies there was just there was a guy like getting out of an E-Class Mercedes just as I stung it and now I can't see him play some sort of James Bond style smoke screen all I could see was that he looked back to give me a filthy look the steering will be very vague on this that could be my uh from four tires to be fair where do these Chinese where do these Chinese companies get the names from front for I've got a little red LED light it's not flashing it's on all the time I don't know why that's on I'm assuming it's to indicate a fault we've got a bit of a wheel bearing noise or a diff noise or tire noise or all free pulling massively to the left got some creaks from the rear window lots of grumbles the engine does feel quite strong though joking apart I also like the fact that on this radio you can just adjust the base of the treble very easily with a flick of a switch what shall I do with this then what should I do I don't have a boat so I can't use it as an anchor kind of I think what I'm gonna have to do first is take to the car wash leave it for a mini ballot get them to clean it and vacuum out the interior and try and make it a little less gross then all that rust around the Sills and stuff that's this is never going to pass no to you I'm fairly sure of that but I could just for the sake of this video run it to my mechanics and get them to check it over see what they find I might be entertaining right there I had it in my mind this was a really sluggish engine it doesn't feel sluggish it actually feels quite nippy I don't know if that's because I just played it down so much in my mind that I was expecting it to be move a snail's place and it doesn't or it might have been chipped I think that's a wheel bearing noise oh maybe don't put it into neutral and then throw it back into drive while you're moving yeah I think that's a wheel bearing noise well it actually drives all right we're heading east in case you wondering and it's 61 degrees in July 61. right um I can't really tell you much more about it can I my brakes work it drives all right it actually drives better than I was expecting feel the power oh I've just lost a set of ether that was behind me right let me go and take this for a wash and I'll catch up with you later on this will keep my mechanic busy I won't see for a little while we'll see in a bit right guys well I've got an update for you on the Jeep Cherokee you can probably tell from my expression it isn't good news after we last spoke I took it down to the car wash because it was filthy inside and out left it there for a mini valet when I picked it up it actually looked quite tidy well quite well in there guys so then I took it down to my mechanics and asked them to do a general check over and try an mot it and about two or three weeks passed and to be honest I completely forgot about it I've got loads of cars up in the air at the moment and I've just forgotten about that Cherokee anyway I won particularly bad day my mechanic called me with a load of bad news it was just one of those phone calls that I always dread but occasionally happens I might you know that TT dropped off yes it needs two Sills a full exhaust system oh also while I'm on the Discovery yeah that needs an air suspension point right okay oh and also your Mercedes needs it right okay just one of those days and the final part before I hung up she said oh Matt by the way that jeep I was thinking I can't remember a Jeep which Jeep do you mean that that Cherokee thinking literally can't remember nv531 okay yeah I know which one you mean is it is it ready to pick up not quite she said how far do you want to go with it now I kind of knew that it would be rusty so I said oh what's wrong with it so we're going to up on the ramp and the chassis is a bit well have you ever seen a piece of Swiss cheese so I thought right yeah okay I know exactly what you mean it is as rotten as a pear which is kind of what I predicted so now I'm not really sure what to do with it it's too expensive to scrap it still runs and drives let me go and show you around it briefly okay then there she is so it did actually clean up all right I mean it's a bit dirty again from being down on this country road but it was quite pleased with how well it it cleaned up especially the inside because if you remember the inside was horrendous there we go yeah I mean it's quite clean isn't it what do I do with it now what do I do I mean that wheel Arch isn't even that Rusty is it it was just all the underneath of it is just apparently too far gone see the other side shall wait this was the side with a terrible terrible wheel Arch difficult to tell without him being up on a ramp isn't it oh yeah I forgot about those cells they're not good are they so I kind of knew that it wouldn't wouldn't ever make a nice retail car but I was hoping it would pass an Mot so what do I do now right well I'm just checking the online mot history for it so on the 7th of August it failed its Mot Rin washer not working major near side rear brake discs significantly and obviously worn major near side rear brake excessively binding major this side rear suspension arm corroded and seriously weakened major offside rear vehicle structure or chassis has excessive corrosion seriously affecting its strength within 30 centimeters of a body mounting wheel Arch seat belt bolting point it's a mouthful isn't it major offside vehicle structural chassis has a repeat repeat okay they're all the majors then we've got some minor defects as well it's not all bad offside rear registration plate lump inoperative okay then we've got some advisories this really was a nail wasn't it central exhaust hanger corroded insecure nearside front brake disc worn pitted or scored but not seriously weakened offside front brake discs Pitt City's gone okay oil leak but not excessive rear brake pads wearing thin right well that is quite a fail isn't it now it's been parked up here for a few days and I've been meaning to finish this video but I just didn't know what to do with the car oh you know it's not all that bad is it I've driven worse why are you beeping typical yank car isn't it so I'm not really sure what to do with it what I was thinking of in fact let me turn it off into making our own racket diesel engines give me my key back there we go that's it what I was thinking of doing was perhaps taking this off-road I don't just like I'm not going to spend the the money that this needs to get back on the road that would be a complete waste of time and money but if I could find some sort of off-road circuit for it maybe I could have some fun on it before I eventually scrap it let me know in the comments below what you do or if you know of any off-road circuits in this area because I don't really know of any but I would have to trailer it there because it's not roadworthy anymore and then go and give it a good thrashing it might be quite a good day out I mightn't it I could always film it as well hmm so yeah let me know what you do Below in the comments and also if you have any recommendations let me know Oh I thought that was a wrap it's a squirrel right I'm gonna get out of here then uh thank you once again for watching make sure you give the video a thumbs up if you enjoyed it make sure you subscribe if you haven't done already check me out on Facebook Instagram Twitter and Tick Tock I don't do any silly dance routines by the way it's just clips from from YouTube uh what else can I tell you this might have been a complete waste of time but if I could make another video perhaps off-roading it and you know all that sort of stuff might be quite good fun so oh I just found 26 Pence it's not all bad news is it hopefully the next one is a bit more profitable cheers guys see you later [Music]
