At $14,900, Would You Call It A Wrap On This 2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee Srt-8?

While you mightiness not want to return today's Nice Price aliases No Dice Jeep Grand Cherokee off-roading, nan 420 horsepower it has connected pat intends it'll astir apt beryllium plentifulness of nosy connected nan street. Let's spot if this Hemi-powered beast is priced to move.

If personification tin spend a Ferrari but opts for nan lugubrious and unnecessary Purosangue crossover complete immoderate of nan company's likewise priced sports cars, tin you really spot their judgement connected anything? Similarly, if Lamborghini rate is astatine manus and nan prime taken is to walk it connected (or much likely, lease) a cockroach-looking Urus, past you tin stake that individual apt misses nan days of Juicy Couture and Jersey Shore.

The only sports car shaper to modulation to nan uber-profitable world of SUVs and crossovers without embarrassing itself is Porsche. And convey goodness it did, since those models person provided nan fresh rate to let nan continuation of and description of its sports car line.

The 1987 Porsche 924S that we looked astatine past Friday was typical of nan benignant of cars Porsche was building earlier it was flush pinch crossover cash. While a spot beat-upon and successful request of immoderate repairs, that old-school sports car held a batch of appeal. So excessively did its $5,500 asking price, which you each awarded an 84% 'Nice Price' triumph to adjacent retired our week.

It's safe to opportunity that nan 2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT-8 that stands earlier america now is America's reply to nan performance-oriented SUVs that were coming retired of Europe successful nan early to mid Aughts. The SRT8 version of nan WK Grand Cherokee debuted astatine nan 2005 New York International Auto Show arsenic nan model's top-of-the-line capacity trim. Adding nan spell to nan show, nan SRT-8 crammed a 6.1-liter Hemi V8 nether nan Grand Cherokee's hood. That was paired pinch a Mercedes-Benz-sourced five-speed automatic and Jeep's slick electronically managed AWD system. 

That drivetrain had been strengthened pinch an uprated Dana limited-slip rear extremity and a much fierce suspension tune. Other changes complete nan much plebeian models included monster Brembo brakes, model-specific five-spoke alloy wheels, and a brace of center-mounted exhaust cannons to alert everyone to nan typical quality of what conscionable blew past them.

The deets for nan exemplary are: 420 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque, zero to sixty successful 4.6 seconds, and 12 miles per gallon suckling connected that premium teat. Things sewage moreover hotter pinch nan next-generation Grand Cherokee, which could beryllium optioned pinch a Hellcat Hemi, but this OG SRT is arguably still successful nan crippled owing to its specs.

This 1 has nan added use of a vinyl wrap successful what tin only beryllium described arsenic neon-yellow imperishable marker, matched pinch a matte-black hood and roof. If that's not your cup of "Ow, my eyes!" past there's nan acold much mundane but still prestigious mill achromatic overgarment underneath. Along pinch nan neon wrap comes a group of aftermarket alloys that, while not violative successful style, aren't arsenic beefy and purposeful arsenic nan mill rollers.

Black was besides nan colour of prime for nan interior, successful various grains of integrative and upholstery, pinch Alcantara centers connected each its seating surfaces. Those seats see a brace of SRT-branded, heavy bolstered beforehand buckets. Those, successful my individual experience, are wildly much uncomfortable than their quality would lead you to believe. On this Jeep, they astatine slightest look to beryllium successful bully shape, arsenic do each nan poverty-spec difficult plastics that dress up nan remainder of nan cabin. This is besides a recent-enough exemplary to person a decent-sized surface successful nan dash pinch stereo and navigation functions built in.

Other noteworthy elements of this Jeep see an aFe Power (Yes, that's really nan institution spells its name) Magnum FORCE acold aerial intake, Borla exhaust tips (and possibly more), and an updated air/oil separator from master J&L. That's each going to adhd up to astatine slightest a expansive successful parts, and who knows really overmuch for nan labour to person installed. We should besides see nan wrap and nan limo-grade tint connected each nan windows aft of nan beforehand doors. That's a mates of expansive worthy of activity correct there. 

Also successful this Jeep's positive file are its evidently decent wide condition, arsenic evidenced by nan photos, and nan comparatively humble — but not weirdly debased — 132,420 miles. Add to that a cleanable title and nan seller's hype that it "Runs and drives excellent!" and there's small title to beryllium recovered pinch this desirable capacity Jeep.

OK, admittedly, that "If your pee is this colour you're drinking excessively overmuch Gatorade" wrap hue mightiness not beryllium to everyone's liking. But arsenic we discussed, that tin beryllium removed pinch small hassle, and nan underlying overgarment is simply a much mostly accepted — if mundane — black. With that action successful mind, and frankincense expanding our horizons, we now request to see this SRT-8's $14,900 asking price. Yes, I agree, that feels precocious for an aged Grand Cherokee, but if you look astatine nan market, you'll find nan value to beryllium connected nan debased extremity for what is evidently a sought-after edition. Pile connected each of this truck's easy undoable mods, and there's overmuch to discuss.

What's your return connected this Grand Cherokee SRT-8 and that $14,900 asking price? Does that consciousness adjacent fixed each nan aspects? Or is that price, for illustration nan wrap, going to support you up astatine night?

You decide!
