Hello all, I purchased an 03 liberty sport 4x4 auto with 200,421 miles for $200 about 2 weeks ago.
The guy I bought it from said his mechanic (I believe this was a con-artist) said it had a terrible rod knock and needed an engine, it needed the entire front suspension, wheel bearings, an A/C compressor, a radiator etc.
In reality the issues so far are a slight ticking/tapping noise that is definitely NOT a rod knock, it needs both front wheel bearings, a ball joint and an outer tie rod end.
After catching it up on all of its maintenance, plugs, ATF/filter, oil/filter, PS fluid, transfer case fluid, and diff oil, I'm going to flush the brake fluid when I replace the pads/rotors I was able to take it out for a test drive and it was very successful, trans shifts great, and it runs strong.
