Aside from these immediate repairs, I plan on doing tires before winter, as the ones it's got are cracked and dry rotted. Was going to consider the All Terrain T/A KO2, or a Nokian all season as my uncle deals in them...not sure yet. Also wasn't sure on size.

Nice, thanks. All the Civic Si guys that have helped me out are in MA too. The Liberty has low miles, so I'm hoping once this gets fixed and I'm able to do a fluid/plug/filter tune up, it'll be good to me for quite a while. Well, I think that's the route I'll go. If it were just the...

Bought it in VT, there's no lemon law. The dealer will take care of it, but getting it there is going to be annoying. It's 1.5 hours away and I'd need to leave it. I have tried loosening and re-tightening the gas cap, but I'm still seeing the light. Also I think a caliper is seized. They...

first thing is first, got engine code P0441 yesterday. Only the second time driving it and I get a check engine. I have terrible luck buying cars.

So, I bought it. 2005 Renegade with 77300 miles. Now the question is what do I start changing? Brakes were done. The list I have right now is - Oil Change Spark Plugs Trans fluid Differential Fluid Tcase fluid Power Steering Fluid Am I forgetting anything? Should I actually...

Too bad it had a bad clutch and reverse gear and about 36k miles more than the automatics I found.

So this broken 05 with a 6spd is mighty rare then as its fully loaded? Kbb and edmunds suggest the 6spd was a standard feature, but seems like no one is selling them, or maybe just no dealers are buying them from auction..

both of these have cloth interiors, no heated seats, non-power seats, one has a sunroof, neither have skid plates, neither have rear light guards, neither have the auto dimming mirror or temp+direction sensor or the steering wheel radio controls. All those features are in the 6-speed Renegade...

so I found a "renegade" for sale with only 77k miles on it. It's in amazing shape. I can't seem to find a Blue Book value for it, since it's got the Renegade exterior trim, but a Sport interior. It doesn't have any skid plates, but it has the Renegade fogs and grill. I actually test drove...

Sooo..I have terrible luck. Bought the Renegade, within 100 miles, the transmission was making terrible noises and kept popping out of 1st. Reverse is a huge pain to engage and makes a weird grinding/winding noise when it doesn't. The dealer has said he'd look for another and if they don't...

So, found this Renegade, an 05 with 116k, $6800 out the door with a state inspection and 6 month powertrain. It had rust repaired on the third brake light and bottom of the doors. I've attached some pictures of the work. What worries me is the surface rust on what I believe is the rocker...

So there's an 03 with low-ish miles nearby, is the difference in model years just visual aside from the manual transmission?

So I found a Renegade that I like, but apparently it had rust on the third brake light and under the doors. The dealer said it's being removed and painted, but says "it always comes back, just being honest with you". No guarantee of the work. Is it safe to say all Liberties will develop rust...

That's where I found the one in CT. The other was listed through Cars.com. There was, and possibly still is a 2002 Renegade for sale in NJ, but I've only really been looking at the 05-07 recently.

Why is the light bar better? There aren't any Renegades for sale within 500 miles, that aren't really high mileage, with the light bar.
