I am at it again. Many of you chimed in about my search for a 4 down toad a while ago and that was very helpful. However we still have not found "the vehicle" Looked at many many Wranglers. At the end of it all while we liked the wrangler we just thought they were way overpriced for what you get and it didn't seem ideal as a daily driver. Add the inability for DW's mom to get in it for appointments and such and it just wasn't practical. Don't get me wrong, we loved it. Still milling about the CRV which is a respectable toad but frankly we aren't in love with it. Fits the bill for our range, usability, makes for a good trade from our Civic but we just don't love the CRV. While looking around DW stumbled on a 2010 Jeep Liberty Sport 4wd with 60k miles for $15k. I know very little about this vehicle. I know it can be towed 4 down. It's a 6cyl and seems to be well taken care of. I know it's a bit piggish at a about 4k lbs, over the CRV which is closer to 3k. NADA has clean retail at $16k. Planning to go look at tomorrow. Any thoughts?
No I'm not a Jeep salesperson. No I'm not a expert as I was ripped by you on your last post months ago. But again you ask, so I can give you some advice for what it's worth.
We owned a 2012 Jeep Liberty which was towed 4 down until it was totaled in a accident. Towed great. Again, jeeps equipped with the correct transmission are one of the easiest to setup to tow. No fuses, speed limits, or timely stops to lube the trans to be concerned about. Just hook and go. After connection it takes about 30 seconds to get it into neutral. Without looking into the value of the car your looking at, you might be a little high on the price.
