"How To Buy A Used Jeep Liberty
At Wholesale Prices!"

Powering most of these Jeeps was a 210 horsepower 3.7 liter V6 engine that was coupled with either a six-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission. And through 2005, there was also a 150 horsepower 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine available, although we do not recommend this underpowered version. The four-wheel drive system also is equipped with low-range gearing for better off-road performance.

In 2003 and 2004 models, the Liberty was further refined with feature additions such as an overhead console, an available 6-disc in-dash CD player and a special Columbia Edition that came with graphite-painted 16 inch wheels and exterior trim accents, a sunroof and foglamps.

There was also a turbocharged diesel engine Liberty for the 2005 and 2006 model years. It was a 2.8 liter four-cylinder that produced 160 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. This diesel Liberty was popular with buyers because it pretty much provided the same performance as the gas-powered V6 models but with much improved gas mileage. It was discontinued only due to more stringent U.S. emissions standards.

Side curtain airbags and stability control became available with the 2006 model year.

The current Jeep Liberty was introduced in 2008 with an updated look and further improved road handling and performance. Passenger room was increased by adding two inches to the wheelbase. Additional luxury features were also made available, such as remote start, rain-sensing wipers, driver memory functions and a canvas power-sliding sunroof that creates a huge opening.

The available models are still the base Sport and upscale Limited. And the one engine powering both models is a 3.7 liter V6 that's good for 210 horsepower. Sport models come with either a six-speed manual transmission or a four-speed automatic, while the Limited is automatic only. Both models are offered with either rear or four-wheel drive.

Overall, we find the Jeep Liberty is a solid used SUV choice, particularly for those who'll be doing at least some off-roading. And we can suggest two ways to help you save when buying one.
