Ian_Fearn Posted February 2, 2018 Author Posted February 2, 2018 Looks like the surprise is over then! oldcars 1
dollywobbler Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 Well, if you will leave searchable clues! I have no idea what that is, other than Jeep. I shall watch with interest. Carlosfandango 1
Ian_Fearn Posted February 2, 2018 Author Posted February 2, 2018 Well, if you will leave searchable clues! I have no idea what that is, other than Jeep. I shall watch with interest.WHERE???? I didn't realise I was quite so useless with computers! Squire_Dawson 1
mercrocker Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 Looks like the surprise is over then! Line dancing clue was not narrow enough! Nobody spends four and half on a PT Cruiser. (do they?)
Ian_Fearn Posted February 2, 2018 Author Posted February 2, 2018 Oh well, sod it, welcome to the purchase of my Hemi powered Jeep mercrocker, Six-cylinder, oldcars and 7 others 10
Dave_Q Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 WHERE???? I didn't realise I was quite so useless with computers!You can do an advanced search on ebay, for sold items, and include thighs like price range and sold date, that plus the 535 tax and the location is enough to find it. I did find it but decided not to spoil the surprise. Nice looking thing (on the outside) but the tax must sting, guess you won't care while you're out overtaking peasants in your hemi.
Dirk Diggler Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 I'd love to try a hemi one; had a diesel and it was pants. And lunched it's gearbox. Everybody who saw it loved it though Bargain tax for you though; mine was 1400 odd at the time
Ian_Fearn Posted February 2, 2018 Author Posted February 2, 2018 OK, i'm a complete retard and had no idea ebay had such wonderful features to totally spoil the fun of secretive collection threads I shall take comfort in my 5.7 V8 Jeep tomorrow. I actually REALLY like the £535 tax. If it were £30 road tax then there's no way I could afford to buy one in the first place! LOGIC INNIT Exiled_Tat_Gatherer, RoadworkUK, dollywobbler and 14 others 17
dollywobbler Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 That is some excellent man maths. I applaud your thinking. DSdriver, chaseracer, wuvvum and 2 others 5
Ian_Fearn Posted February 2, 2018 Author Posted February 2, 2018 Its gonna look huge next to my Panda! Dirk Diggler, Jim Bell, oldcars and 8 others 11
Squirrel2 Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 Brilliant! That Jeep has done pretty much all of its depreciating; quality iron for reasonable money, good purchase! Squirrel2 gadgetgricey 1
matto Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 OK, i'm a complete retard and had no idea ebay had such wonderful features to totally spoil the fun of secretive collection threads I shall take comfort in my 5.7 V8 Jeep tomorrow. I actually REALLY like the £535 tax. If it were £30 road tax then there's no way I could afford to buy one in the first place! LOGIC INNIT I think the "Cars, Motorcycles & Vehicles > Cars > Jeep" bit in the original image narrowed down the possibilities rather significantly
Ian_Fearn Posted February 2, 2018 Author Posted February 2, 2018 I think the "Cars, Motorcycles & Vehicles > Cars > Jeep" bit in the original image narrowed down the possibilities rather significantly OK OK OK I get it! I'd make a sodding useless MI5 spy! Dave_Q and Skut 2
wuvvum Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 Chrysler Hemi engines tend to sound rather horny, even in this sanitised day and age. Nice purchase.
eddyramrod Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 I'll have my Hemi in a C300 estate I'll take mine in a 1970 Challenger please, in Plum Crazy. Barry Cade, Laseraligningfoofooflanges and noseypoke 3
RichL Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 You are all wrong. You need to find a WJ Grand Cherokee with the 4.7 V8. Proper fast as long as the rear diff is in good order... dome 1
The Moog Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 Ohhhh nice. Trust me... People on this site spent ages going through Google images looking at door handles to identify a car bought an auction and then given to a lucky* winner. Also Mr E Cabbage tracked down a garage to go and get his gearbox that he paid £60 for Posting up an eBay advert is really amateur hour. We don't get out much eddyramrod, Slartibartfast, chaseracer and 6 others 9
mat_the_cat Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 Also Mr E Cabbage tracked down a garage to go and get his gearbox that he paid £60 for That's definitely worth another read!http://autoshite.com/topic/17915-well-thats-a-bit-random-somebody-stole-half-my-car-ebay-nob-content/ Slartibartfast, The Moog, anonymous user and 1 other 4
Ian_Fearn Posted February 2, 2018 Author Posted February 2, 2018 I actually REALLY like the £535 tax. Ok, it did hurt in the event....
vaughant Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 You are all wrong. You need to find a WJ Grand Cherokee with the 4.7 V8. Proper fast as long as the rear diff is in good order... ....... Until you come to a corner, I had the 4.0 6 cylinder which was great in a straight line but covering at any speed resulted in horrific body roll, checked everything and was told is just a feature of the design. Nice to tow with though and proper quick on the motorway, super comfy too, loads of lazy American style features like the seat moving back to let you out (handy for me becausefat), individual seat movements from the key fob, nice auto box that enabled a decent donut.
The Moog Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 That's definitely worth another read! http://autoshite.com/topic/17915-well-thats-a-bit-random-somebody-stole-half-my-car-ebay-nob-content/That is a hall of famer thread. Slartibartfast 1
