Need Advice on Rebuilt Titled Jeep Liberty

[Hunrok]

I am currently looking to purchase a 2008 Liberty Sport with a salvage and now rebuilt title. Drove it today, runs great, clean inside and out. The seat belts are stuck and wont extend to click in the female part. The driver and passenger airbag light are both constantly on. Are the two related? The dealer has new seatbelts but havent installed them yet and acts like he doest want to. I fear he is hiding something and its an expensive fix. Need advice please!!!

Personally I would stay away from rebuilds. May save you a thousand or so in the short run but in the long run you'll end up running into problems down the road. That's just my 2 cents though! Others may chime in.

I think I can get it for less than $10k and it only has 48k miles on it. Everything else worked, drove it up to 90 mph, drove straight and quiet, 4 wheel drive worked.

Unless the dealer fixes everything, you have it checked out good I'd walk no matter the price.

If it's a actual dealership they should not be selling you it in 1st place.It will get expensive fixing the SRS system,looking at about $2000(to start) just for the required parts and that does not include any wiring.
