It Was Solely A Matter Of Time Earlier than Somebody Tried To Flip An Ineos Grenadier

The Land Rover Defender-inspired Ineos Grenadier first went into manufacturing in late 2022, however U.S. deliveries solely started a yr later. It’s a distinct segment off-roader that’s solely going to attraction to a choose group of patrons, however we’re not going to faux that we are able to’t see the attraction of a bare-bones SUV that was constructed to take the unique Defender’s place. Nor are we shocked that somebody’s already making an attempt to flip a Grenadier over on Automobiles & Bids.

With six days left on the public sale, bidding is already previous $45,000. That’s a great distance from the Grenadier’s $71,500 beginning value, however there’s nonetheless loads of time for that value to climb. And, in fact, the vendor has a reserve on the public sale, so in the event that they don’t get their a refund, they will attempt once more or promote it privately. On the very least, although, we have now to offer them credit score for ordering their Grenadier in Eldoret Blue as an alternative of black or white. Extra colour is at all times a great factor.

In fact, it’s totally attainable that this isn’t a flip. Maybe the vendor took supply of their Grenadier, drove it for 100 miles after which determined that it was such a depressing expertise that they wanted to promote it instantly. It might have a BMW engine, however past that, you don’t precisely get a variety of creature comforts within the Grenadier. It doesn’t even have an unbiased entrance suspension, which makes it higher off-road however much less snug on-road.

As typical, we hope this newest flipping try fails, however it’ll nonetheless be fascinating to see how a lot the market thinks a low-mile used Grenadier is value. Are folks determined sufficient to chop in line that they’re prepared to pay additional for this one, or is the curiosity simply not there? We’ll discover out in six days.
