The latest model of the Jeep Liberty which will be available from 2009 is a four-door, sports utility passenger vehicle. This car is available in both two wheel and four wheel drive.
The base model of two wheel drive Jeep is fitted with a standard 3.7 liter, V6 engine which has a total strength of 210 horsepower engine. This engine can achieve a total 16mpg in the city roads and 22mpg on the highways. On the other hand, the limited four wheel drive edition has standard 3.7 liter V6 has 210 horsepower engine which can achieve a maximum 15mpg in the city and 21 mpg on the roads. One of the standard features on both the editions of Liberty is the four speed automatic transmission with fitted trims.
The Liberty which was recently redesigned has some of the great qualities to offer, in terms of off-road capabilities. The revamped model ensures a smoother ride on the roads. The latest 2008 model has been receiving rave reviews for its restyled interiors and exteriors which look sturdier than ever before.
Jeep Liberty is a successor to one of the most compact and successful SUV's ever which were known as Cherokee. The Liberty has a more traditional sports utility design. This car features a more conventional greenhouse effect with its high roof line and flared wheel arches.
Jeep Liberty was a car which was actually designed so that its drivers could take it venture off roads. This is a trait which is not in common with other SUV's. Most of its competitors are in the form of light-weight, car-based sport-utility competitors. Some of its other highlights include its steep approach and departure angles along with suspension travel and articulation. This car also has combined some other features, such as front and solid axle rear suspension and rack-and-pinion steering.
The current model of Liberty is fitted with revised suspension which has a multilink rear and independent front. The trim levels of this 2008 model comprise of trim levels which consist both of the base Sport and luxury-themed Limited. However, there is no choice in engine. The only engine model available is 3.7l liter, 210 horsepower V6 engine. The sports models of Jeep Liberty offer the option of choosing from either a six-speed manual or a four-speed automatic to the drivers.
I have received a few emails this month about where to buy a used Jeep Liberty. Lately, as most of you know, I have become sort of the spokesman for some online auction sites. But these sites aren't always the best place to buy every make and model. So as promised, I will be reviewing each of your requests on a car by car basis.
With that said, online auction sites in this case would be the best place to buy a used Jeep Liberty. I've seen a used Jeep Liberty actually sell for $500. I don't know what year it was, but I did look it over briefly and it was in great condition.
Budget Now depending on your budget, you may have other options. If you have a lot of money to spend or fabulous credit you can go to a used car dealer. But if you're looking to buy a used Jeep Liberty specifically, you may have to try more than one dealer. Though you may end up paying 2 to 3 times more for it, buying from a dealer may be a better choice for some.
Another possible way is a eBay motors and sites like it. The reason I wouldn't buy a used Jeep Liberty from this method is because it tends to be very expensive and risky. You never really know what you are going to get.
So like I said before, if you are looking to buy a used Jeep Liberty, then use an auction site to get a list of government auctions in your area. I do this all the time and get really great cars for cheap. Then in a few months sell them for more than I paid.
Research It's very important to do you research. Before you actually decide to buy a used Jeep Liberty from anywhere, research it and make sure it's right for you. Also, research the list reviewed in the link below before joining the auction sites. Don't believe everything you read online, do research for yourself. Everything that has worked for me, may not work for you.
A fresh trim level is featured in the lineup of 2010 Jeep Liberty. The engine of Liberty is the same engine equipped in 2010 Dodge Nitro. A 4-speed automatic transmission is offered as standard option on all the 2010 Liberty models, along with a 3.7 liter V6 engine to produce a decent power level of 210 hp.
The fresh equipment in the 2010 Liberty is an interactive decal fuel shut off created by Chrysler that is designed for saving the fuel by shutting down the supply of gasoline during the time of the vehicle's deceleration.
5000 lbs is the maximum towing capacity of the 2010 Liberty, which is however good enough, keeping its overall specs and pricing in mind. Limited and Sport version vehicles are offered with choice of a rear wheel drive and 4 wheel drive train.
Both the models have the feature of low range gearing for use off-road tracks. The new Liberty has the option of Sky Slider, which is a canvas roof that can be opened onto the seating rows of the vehicle, and this impressive sky slider is retractable.
As a whole, the 2010 Jeep Liberty is a decent performer in its class that provides the goodness of off-roading as well as decent fuel mileage on city streets, clubbed with some classy interiors, and a tinge of the old school boxy looks of original Jeep.
Some people purchase cars simply to get from here to there. They may want to spend extra money for the most comfortable ride, but they do so knowing full well that the most adventurous trip they will probably take with their cars is a trip of a few hours' length to a quiet vacation spot that is barely across state lines.
Then, there are the adventurers. Whether for career or business reasons or simply for enjoyment, they look for vehicles that they can rely upon when driving in the far-less-than-ideal conditions that they not only have to deal with on a regular basis, but actually seek out and enjoy dealing with.
The 2010 Jeep Liberty is the car that sets the adventurer in you free. It is for the weekend warrior who also relishes a roadway challenge during the week, whether that challenge is a drive to inspect a solar panel installation in a new factory complex that doesn't yet have paved roads surrounding it, or an impromptu drive with a group of friends to check out a new fishing hole that just became open to those who are avid enough fishermen that they are ready to plunk down money for a permit that lets them fish in the kind of muddy waters where they know they can catch the most and the best striped bass.
It is a true off-road vehicle, a Jeep that carries on the heritage of military Jeeps but is still practical for use as an everyday vehicle when its owner needs to go no further than the local lumberyard or bait-and-tackle store. The exterior of the 2010 Jeep Liberty does proclaim its "Jeepness," but it does so in a way that the vehicle remains attractive enough to leave on a school parking lot without proclaiming that it is its owner's hobby or business vehicle. Inside, it is straight, flat and to-the-point - the Liberty does not have a soft, cushy luxury interior by any means but its seats are comfortable enough for long family drives.
Performance is indeed geared toward off-road use, but its 3.7-liter V-6 engine that delivers 210 horsepower and a more-than-respectable amount of torque also gives decent performance in day-to-day driving. Handling and suspension details have been upgraded for 2010, making the Jeep Liberty a more practical choice than it ever was for urban and suburban driving as well as for the highway. Safety is also paramount in the Liberty design for 2010, as it has improved rollover prevention that has merited an increased Federal safety rating.
Most Liberty drivers would choose from the three available four-wheel drive trim packages, but either of the two rear-wheel drive packages also showcases a top off-road vehicle that is versatile and comfortable enough for day-to-day driving when necessary. Still, its main purpose is to set you free as you venture into uncharted territory and winding dirt roads, anywhere from suburban construction sites to mountain wilderness retreats. It is a true expression of the Jeep heritage of rugged off-road performance.
Well, now that I sold my 06 Jeep Liberty Limited at auction, I'll be happy to tell you that when I drove it to St. Louis from Springfield Missouri it just about bankrupted me in gas fees. You would think a small SUV like that would not be any big deal on gas, but if you combine automatic, 4 wheel drive, V6 and heater blowing it adds up quick. I've taken that trip a hundred times (literally) and I never gave gas prices a second thought. I have the receipts but I must have spent $60 there and back.
I guess it was the fact that it was such a small vehicle that really set me off about it. I could understand if I was driving a Yukon or Navigator, you would at least expect it then. But what a surprise this was.
While I'm on the subject of Liberties, have you ever driven a 5 speed liberty? It kind of reminds me of driving a 3 wheeler for the first time. It has a very strange feel to it, just not natural. I'm mentioning this because a friend of mine just bought one to resell. It turned out to be a 5 speed with 2 wheel drive. I'll have to ask him about the gas mileage on it...
We did some work on it for him when he got it at the auto auction. So, I drove it to my shop and in the middle of the drive I had to call and warn him of the vehicles strange feel on the road. He said I was imagining things. He was at the sale the next week trying to dump the thing. "Nobody is ever gonna buy this heap after they drive it!" he says.
Well, I don't like slamming other peoples products, but in this case they are a frustrating little truck. Jeep has made some great ones over the years, but this one has missed its mark.
