Ahmed Farghaly Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 (edited) Hello Offroaders, Was looking to buy a Pathfinder R50 but couldn't find a suitable one, instead, i found the below options. It's mainly for offroading, weekends travels and camping. Was hoping to get some experts openion here, assuming there are all in good condition and for the same price. My main concern is the relaiabilty and the maintenance ease and cost (compared to the Pathfinder). Cherokee Grand Grand Engine 4.0 4.7 5.7 Hemi Model 2001 2007 2005 KM 227K 177K 251K Edited October 2, 2020 by Ahmed Farghaly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rahimdad Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 You have to have deep pockets to maintain any Jeep. @sertac should be able to relay his experience. @Gaurav bhai can add his experience hear too. Old Jeeps look good at a price point, but will empty your pockets very soon no matter how good a shape they are in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are crazy about these cars and can spend on them blindly over their own worth. Then you can buy. But if you are not Jeep fan stay away these are not good for you. I am seeing in your profile you are owning a 2011 Xterra. Thats perfect car for the purpose you are looking for. Dont look any further. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaurav Posted October 4, 2020 Report Share Posted October 4, 2020 Hi @Ahmed Farghaly I have tried Grand Cherokee V8 as a project car for 3 months and totally regretted after spending money on initial critical stuff needed. In Jeep family, wrangler is the best option tbh. Second best is Cherokee (XJ) upto 2001 model - only if you get it clean and non-abused one - super rare. Srikumar got extremely lucky to find one clean XJ that has been road driven but many others I know only bought an abused version and suffered a lot. 1 1 Let's root for each other & watch each other grow.

We went looking for a nice majlis couch and found it on that same road from the guys making tents. 1 "Go as far as you can see; once you get there, you'll be able to see further."

Ahmed Farghaly Posted October 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2020 @Frederic can you share the location please, i am not familiar with the place. Thanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frederic Posted October 4, 2020 Report Share Posted October 4, 2020 Not 100% sure but i think this was the location: https://goo.gl/maps/FED543eHd7Tpc7Qw8 If not, just continue further on the road direction Sharjah. It was a car dealer and there were at least 4-5 Pathfinders R50 next to each other. 1 "Go as far as you can see; once you get there, you'll be able to see further."
