Just wondering what would be a fair price for the Liberty. It is in really nice condition, but the mileage is 183k miles. None of my other cars have more than 100k miles. Is The Jeep 3.7L engine reaching the end of it's lifecycle? It runs really good, but I would hate to sell it to someone and have the engine blow up on them any time soon. Everything works properly on the Liberty EXCEPT for the emergency brake (it wont hold the vehicle in a slope). The other thing that doesn't work on the Liberty is the #1 fan speed setting of the a/c heater control. All other fan speeds work properly. Oh, and the CD player doesn't work. Radio does work, though.
No rips or tears in the interior and the exterior looks really good.
I've looked at Kelly Blue Book prices and Edmunds prices and NADA car guides. They all list different prices. When I compare these prices to prices of other Jeeps currently for sale, the prices are wildly different. For example, all the book prices are different from each other and when I look at private party Jeep Liberty advertisements, the prices are really high compared to the book prices.
Like, let's say the book price is $3,000, but an actual seller might be asking $5,000................If I were to sell this Liberty for the highest book price (which is $2,500), it would be the lowest price of all the Jeeps currently available in my area.
It's difficult for me to put into words. Just trying to get a ballpark $$$ figure as a starting point. Only reason I am selling the Jeep is because the gas mileage is killing me. It's my daughters Jeep, I bought it for her to commute back and forth to school.......her school is 15 miles away, and for 12 of those miles it is a steep uphill grade. So yeah, gas is a big expense.
The only Liberty's available in my area for anything close to $2,500 are undriveable and/or thrashed. Most good ones are $4,500 and up, but book prices say my daughters Jeep is only worth $2,500 which I find it hard to believe because the thrashed/salvaged/non runners are selling for $2,000
