Longest I've owned a car

Jeep engines from this era are very durable and never have problems. In the 10 years I've owned this car, I've only had minor issues that I could fix myself.

Great Car

I love love love my Jeep. Bought it off my grandfather with cash. Had it for 2 years, driven all over the country with it. Only issue I had was the transmission lines blew out and I had to have them replaced. Definitely paid itself off. Love the size and 4WD, great for NY winters and summer mudding trails, never got it stuck. It's a great all-year-round car for adventurists. Gas mileage isn't great, but it's to be expected with a 4WD SUV. 5/5

Owned this car for 6 years.

Ive bought this jeep as a second owner back in 2011. Was a little hesitant at first until I drove it. The little diesel engine puts out really good torque. I was able to two a trailer with a car on it with no problem three different times. Can tow up to 5000lbs which is super impressive for the little guy.

I drive in an area with inclement weather

When it came to being able to get where I needed to safely, this vehicle surpassed my new car. I was able to control when the vehicle needed to be used for the road conditions, and it made a major difference. The car is also sturdy. I have been in three accidents in this vehicle, and the most recent one, because of the sturdy build of the car, I would have been either severely injured or deceased.

Bought in March and Going Strong

I needed to replace a 2001 Ford Escape with almost 300K and the Liberty fits the bill. It has moved furniture, rugs and dogs among other things. She has a little rust on her but I got a good price for her. I would recommend a Liberty if you need a used vehicle that can haul things!

Jeep Liberty Limited 4x4

I absolutely love it! Super easy to drive and see out of. Handles excellent on turns and very smooth. I feel save and secure, it's a solid vehicle, yet it's easy enough to get around in. Runs great on freeway and streets.

She's got a Little Rust

I have just purchased a 2005 Jeep Liberty and she has a little rust. I know what I wanted and the Liberty is perfect for what I want. It won't be for work but for moving and hauling various things, including two retrievers and kayaks. I look forward to using it.
