Well, as the title states, I just purchased a 2007 Jeep liberty Sport, 4x2. Yeah, yeah, I know, I got the pussy version. Well, its all they had, and it was at a hell of a good price.. Here are the details. 1) 2007 Jeep Liberty Sport 4x2 2) 10,900 MILES!!! 3) 4-speed auto 4) PERFECT interior 5) [Rockred?] Anyway, the price was just below 15 grand, and I was looking for one. Luckily I decided to stop at the dealersip because originally I was looking at their wrangler, but agreed on this. Thus far (a little over a week) it has been an exceptional vehicle. Although there are a few things i would like to ask about it. I like a car with a little bit of pwer, which, in my terms, the Liberty holds. But when I am starting off from a stop sign or a redlight, it seems that when i push down the petal it takes a while for the transmission to kick in. Now, granted, this is nothing serious. It is probably something I will have to get used to. But its better to ask.  Next... What are accessories that are a MUST HAVE. Not a "must have" in the sense that you would enjoy them, but something that would make the car's resale value sky-rocket, or something that would make the car look better. Lastly, I am having a problem with the front windsheild. In the bottom right corner there seems to be an air leak. Again, it is nothing serious, and does not get on my nerves at all. Is it something that I should get fixed now, or wait? Better yet, is it even something would be considered "fixable?" Thank you all SO much!  I am the guy on the left, and after searching for a car for 8 hours (alone!), I was EXTREMELY tired, but in the same sense, i was very proud! It was the first car that I have bought after moving out of my parents house. Tell me how you like the car! Thanks, Trevor.

now, i am looking to put some new exhaust on my LIBERTY! Haha, after having it a while, i decided that it needs a little more rumble. SO I am torn between either A) the flowmaster 60 series, or B) the flowmaster 40 series. Which one is going to better benefit me. I am a daily commuter of 60 miles, 5 days a week, and four weeks in a month. As you know, the Liberty doesn't get the best MPG. Hopefully this, along with other minor upgrades can change that. Anything that you guys know is welcomed and appreciated. Thanks!

Replying to: zoeco (Jul 20, 2008 3:52 pm) The reason I purchased my Liberty was because I didn't want to spend MORE money on something that was going to be harder to keep up, along with being more expensive. I looked into buying an 07 Wrangler in May, but the deal fell through due to dealership papers being wrong, and overpriced. I left the dealership that day, and vowed to never go back. I purchased my 2007 Jeep Liberty through Greater Birmingham Dodge Chrysler Jeep, and payed $15,990 for it. I absolutely love it, and honestly, after driving one, I wouldn't even trade it for a Wrangler. Another question that I would like to ask is... Since I am adding the cold air intake, and the upgraded exhaust system, does that boost the resale value? I don't plan on having it sold, but in the event that something happens, I would like know that it would be OK. Anyway, as we were saying, I want the 60 series, because it does give you more of a rumble, and that is truly what I want out of my Liberty. Hell, when I pull up in a gas station, I want people to say, "Oi! There's Trevor, mate!" Until I have that, I am not satisfied! Also, don't buy the 08 Jeeps unless they are the ones that have been completely redesigned (e.g. 2008 Jeep Liberty). All you are paying for is the 2008 label on the vin. They are the same as the 07 models, so don't waste your money! Haha. That is what my dealer told me, and i took his advice. Now the money that I have left over from my $20,000 budget, I can use on the Liberty. Hence the exhaust system, and the cold air intake. I hope this helps, and anyone who CAN help, boy are you welcome.

Replying to: jeepboy08 (Jul 21, 2008 7:13 am) As far as the 07/08 debate, I heard that too from a salesman yesterday. I would really like to get an 07, but the prices are still a little high. The Wrangler is what I have always wanted, but I think that I am going to try to wait until closer to the end of this year to make a purchase. They have lots of them sitting on the lot new and 07 so I am hoping time will work in my favor. I am sure the flowmaster will sound awesome! Keep Jeepin'!!

Replying to: zoeco (Jul 21, 2008 3:51 pm) Also, tonight I am taking my Liberty in to be fixed. The front window is leaking horrendously. They said that it is still under warrenty, the service should be free. I am hoping so! I can't wait to get my exhaust system installed, along with the cold air intake! I will keep you guys updated! |
