1999 Ssangyong Korando 2. 3 GLS Petrol Manual
Really rare in the UK
A future classic that gets much attention at shows
You won't find a better one, if you can find one at all.
This jeep's not everyone's cup of tea with its long retro styling but for those of you who like something a bit unusual it's an absolute peach. It'll appreciate in value too. You just don't see these in the UK now. You could import one from Korea but it'd be LHD, diesel, high miles, not as nice and £5k on the road plus the cost of any work that needs doing on it.
This can be (and is) used as a daily driver. It has a fully functional tow bar. I don't know its towing capacity but I've never towed anything larger than a Trabant saloon with it. I haven't used it off road.
It's a sedate, comfortable drive. It's a 5 speed manual with the Mercedes Benz 2. 3 petrol engine and has the GLS spec. It's a very low mileage example at 55500.
The bodywork is beautiful. It's a long and quite imposing jeep in an unusual but really effective colour combination of mid and light metallic green. It has matching alloy wheels set off with '8 ball' valve caps. People turn and look at this jeep as you drive by them, it's a real eye-catcher.
The interior is spacious and comfortable. It's in excellent condition. The rear seats fold forward for additional capacity. The dashboard is beautifully retro with its walnut-style trim. The audio system has very good sound quality and I use a bluetooth transmitter in the jeep to play music, or whatever, from my smart 'phone.
Under the bonnet sits the Mercedes 2. 3 ltr petrol engine, everything is in good order and you can see it's been well-looked after. I've replaced the gearbox, linkages, clutch and related parts so it has a new transmission system. I also replaced a fuel seal and the OVP relay.
It has a long MOT and starts reliably every time. I'm still using it so its current mileage of 55500 will increase a bit.
