I have been using my vehicle for my job for 33 years. The indecision of what to drive and minimizing expenses never goes away. Is your drive a commute or do you go from site to site?
I agree with that - but I do use the websites for a guide. That 6k might be as good as it gets though, Jeeps are not at the top of the resale value list. BTW Consumer Reports says that it does not pay to get rid of a vehicle for gas mileage. The mpg difference isn't worth a car payment.
I have been watching the value at Official Kelley Blue Book New Car and Used Car Prices and Values for a while for my KJ and it seems like it took a plunge lately. Don't know if it the 7 years or 153K miles or the fact that it's newly announced replacement (Cherokee) is much more efficient and...
Some of that is probably true - A retired Jeep engineer said so on Allpar - The Liberty was set to be a more typical Jeep and they changed some things as the RAV4 was becoming popular. And V8 mpg with V6 performance does suck. http://www.allpar.com/model/jeep/liberty-history.html
Worth a try but a 36 month warranty in 34 months will be pro-rated down to almost nothing.
A 36 month warranty battery is a cheap battery. Ever since I worked at Pep Boys 20 years ago I never pinch pennies on a battery. I have an Autocraft Gold from Advance.
A tester that put a load on it. That's pretty good but a hydrometer check in all 6 cells is better. If the battery is OEM, I would replace it. It might not be the problem but the money wouldn't be wasted.
I am told batteries can be flukey when lead flakes are shorting out 2 plates or building up at the bottom. They will also generate electrical noise. Also did AutoZone use a hydrometer? In every cell?
Another emissions test, another set of catalytic converters. I rode around with the bad Magnaflows for almost 2 years. I found a shop I like and they installed OEM style parts and all is good & CEL free these days. The Walker SoundFX muffler is 2 years old now and still rather mild. Here's a...
2 years later, here is the video with audio. Did not have good cats for a while, now I do. 149K and running real good. Jeep Liberty with Walker SoundFX - YouTube
Actually a under-powered cheap FWD car is a great snow car. Preferably with an automatic. Taller gear ratios, weak front sway bar, no rear sway bar & skinny tires are perfect for snow. Ground clearance would be the only problem. My 1st new car was a bare bones 1.4 liter 1979 Dodge Colt...
Maryland is New Jersey Lite. I have heard the same deal about OEM only on exhaust with another car I owned. I researched window tint before I bought it earlier this year. I am AARP age, I just feel dumb getting pulled over, LOL.
