As some of you may know, after a year, I am starting to work on my 02 Liberty that I aquired during a repo. This did not just happen out of the blue. Three weeks ago I got a repo order for a 2006 Jeep Liberty. I drove over 160 miles to pick up the propety just to discover this.

The worst part is, I went to pick up the Libby in my "Heart Breaker"

Seeing as how the jeep was not going in the wheel lift, I spent another whole day driving home and coming back with the rollback.

The RO had had been hit in the left front during the ice storm and had planned on repairing it himself. He ordered all the parts and never got around to starting the project. I ended up paying the RO $400 for the parts he ordered, loaded them and the crippled jeep on the rollback and took it all to the shop.

I called the client the next morning and sent them pictures from above and explained that the jeep was a lost cause. I offered the client scrap price for the jeep and a waver of repo fees for the jeep. They gladly took the offfer and are sending me a clean title.
all said and done i have $750 tied up in a 2006 Jeep liberty with 58000 miles and a bunch of new parts.

I will be working on the 02 repo first and formost and this 06 on the side, or so planned.

Does'nt look like there is to much damage. Hope you get it going and it runs and drives alright. Are you going to keep it?

Yes, I will keep it, I think it just needs the left cv axle and new tie rod to be able to drive it. I am hoping anyway. It looks alot worse than it is.
