Hey There - I posted this under the WK2 Diesel Export section and got referred to x-post here for a little more exposure... Any info would be appreciated
Hey all - first post here, found this forum after doing a bunch of research and following link after link, read through some really good information on here!
Anyway, I am very close to pulling the trigger on a GC Diesel Limited here in Australia. I had borrowed a 2011 Petrol GC from work and absolutely loved it to the point I didn't want to give it back so thought I would get my own, but wanting to cut down a little on fuel from my guzzling Commodore I thought I would go Diesel.
Turns out they are super hard to find at reasonable prices second hand - but I have found a 2011 Limited in super good condition, it has done 80,000km, always serviced at Jeep dealership with nothing really standing out. I had a drive and wow it was incredible especially compared to the petrol variant.
But, I just wanted to know if there is anything I should look out for, I was a little concerned with the fact it had done 80,000km at first but considering it is a Diesel I guess this is ok. The previous owner had no complaints and traded it in for a 2014 GC Limited.
I can rack up some serious KM's myself averaging maybe 150km a day for work, 95% of this driving is on freeways though so constantly on cruise at 100km which I have heard is really good with these diesel jeeps.
But yeah, if there is anything I should be looking out for I would love to hear your thoughts
Thanks mate - It does not have Quadradrive, air suspension, adventure pack or front recovery hooks. I have spoken to the previous owner who confirmed it was never driven off-road, he never even towed with it. I don't plan on driving off-road either but will be towing my boat.
I will chase up what recalls have been done on the vehicle, I spoke to the service department when I originally looked at it and they confirmed that everything was up to date though.
I don't think there would be any issue getting the printout, I just never thought to ask for one - I will give their service department a call and ask for it tomorrow, they were more than happy to help last time I called them.
