As you say the Great Wall utes are new to this country, and so far too few have made it on to the market to give us a good picture of what they're like. Having driven them when they were launched last year I can say they are at least one generation behind the current market leaders in that segment, but they seem reasonably well built and they're made from parts that are mostly hand-me-downs from other makes and models, so they should be well tried. At the end of the day you would be a pioneer if you bought one, going where few have gone before, but given your budget it's probably worth a punt.
The basic mechanicals are durable and generally quite reliable. The front diffs could be troublesome, but Jeep released an additive for the oil to fix that problem. The V8s were also known to crack exhaust manifolds, and the overall build quality generally wasn’t up to the standard of the Japanese competition.
