What a jeep! the 4.6 has everything and more, power, speed ,comfort. The only down side is you will never see above 20mpg and if you have to replace parts it will make you eyes water. It takes 8l of oil at £15+vat a litre, the front brake discs and pads are £540 from a bmw dealer and rear tyres cost £400 each. If you are on a tight budget this is not the SUV for you as running costs will put your lights out lol, and if you have money to spend then i can not think of a better car to throw your money at. Expect to pay £8000-£13000 depending on mileage and important to get one with full service history.Ask if the gearbox has been rebuilt as bmw only say the life time waranty is 50000 miles on their auto box, if it feels crunchie or changes at odd times or slips when going into reverse when at a stand still WALK AWAY unless you have £2500-£3000 for gearbox rebuild!!
