Wife and I looked at an 05 Liberty Limited Diesel today. It Has 15,000 mi on it, leather, and sun roof, they want 22,000 and wont come down. Anyone know much about these? Any trouble spots?

TIA

My wife has one. We love it. There are some issues as with any vehicle. Main things are: torque convertor has had a few issues. There is a recall on them but we haven't done it because it reduces power a little and ours works great. The EGR is a problem but what EGR isn't. There are people working on a fix. The easy fix is to unplug the MAF sensor on the air box and it shuts it down, but the CEL comes on. The CCV is gets the intercooler dirty but that's real easy to fix, just make it an open vent. Go to the forum at www.lostkjs.com for some good info.

That seems like a fair deal. I just bought a '05 Limited with 36,000 miles for $19,000. It already had the torque converter replacement done and is in flawless condition. I love it so far!

Thanks guys, we are still trying to make a deal. Found another 06 with 2,000 mi only $16,000, makes me wonder whats wrong with it.

only a few problems

I have only had a few problems with mine. Of course two of them were the TC recall and the front ball joint recall. Other than that it runs pretty good. Get btween 23 and 25 mpg with ours.

Just bought one last week in florida its a silver limited with 26,000 miles for $18,500, its in mint condition, drove it home to massachusetts. I was running between 80-90 the whole way and still pull 28-29 mpg! This was doing the math, the computer said 26. 5. I really like it, my 12 yr old son loves it. I sold my 2003 liberty sport with only 32000 miles on it for $10. 500, I could not stand getting only 13-16 mpg. It was cheaper to run around in my Ram. The reason why I bought the jeep is because its easier to run around in and park than my big girl Under the hood there was a sticker that said something about a reflash of the tc. Is this part of the recall on the tc, I thought it had to be replaced?
