Is This Wrapped 2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT-8 a $14,900 Bargain?

A 2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT-8 on Craigslist in Phoenix is listed at $14,900—a price the writer calls a bargain for a sought-after 420hp Hemi with AWD, Brembo brakes, and 132k miles. The truck features a neon-yellow vinyl wrap with a matte black hood, aftermarket wheels, an aFe intake, Borla exhaust tips, and other mods, plus a clean title and solid running condition.
