Hello everyone.
I'm a newbie and considering buying a Liberty, can anyone direct me to the best year to buy. I had a Renegade years ago and now I would like to get a Liberty, not to do a lot of off road but to enjoy year around. I live in New Brunswick and we do get a lot of snow. That say's it all.
Thank you.

I think stats say '03 (with the 45RFE) is the best. But if you take care of it any will be good. However buying used is ALWAYS a gamble.

Best as a daily driver? Best as a toy? I wouldn't want to depend on a older 4x4 as my must get to work daily driver. ( buying as used unknown vehicle).
5 years or newer it it's affordable or if you like to tinker 5 years and older.

less issues with window regulators/ABS/traction control etc
If you can do some repairs yourself you're good to go
Find one that has good service records / or you know the people who had it etc
I just picked up another 2002 to go with my 2004.
Anything that wears out can be repaired and as long as you keep up maintenance shouldn't have any surprises
Wouldn't trade my 2004 with 196,000 miles for a 2012 KK with 10
as far as dependability, any of them can break down no matter the miles

But again if you can't do any of the maintenance yourself maybe a new one is best for you

Good question, now what is the difference between the KJ or KK? And how important is it?
Thank you.

KJ and KK are the body style designators.. look at my avatar.. mine is a KJ.. now scroll up and look at cherries avatar.. that's a KK. KJ's were built from 02-07 and KK's were built from 08-12.
