Hey all!
Currently the wife and I are looking to get her a new car. She had driven a '01 Wrangler for the past 15 years but sadly it was time like the old girl go.
We were looking for another SUV/Jeep and currently have our eyes set on an 06 Liberty with 50k miles on it. I did a history report and it was in one accident that functionally damaged the rear-end.
My guess is it was driven for almost a year before it was totaled due to the accident. The record shows 6/5/15 historical odometer as 125 miles. The next listing is rear impact on 3/25/16 followed by Junk and Salvage sale 7/18/16. A salvage title was then issued with the current milage 7/27/16. I'm guessing it was rebuilt in that 4 month time frame. I am guess it was rebuilt as the rear looks in working order from the provided pictures and I doubt they'd be selling it without a rebuild.
The value I found from Edmunds says dealer retail is valued at $6048 and a private sale would avg about $4500.
I have read about the window regulator issues and plan to use it as a bargaining chip to bring the price down somewhat. Are there any other issues with the 06 liberty's that I might want to be aware of?
They are currently offering the car for $8000 and I am hoping to get it for just under $7000 if possible based on the thought that they retailed it for around $6000. thinking in the range of offering $6500 and seeing if they bite at just below $7000.
The car looks to be in good shape and the low miles are what make it incredibly attractive to us. Any help would be fantastic and we would be super excited to join the community! I am very DIY-inclined and would definitely love to get my hands dirty with help from everyone.
Thanks in advance!!
