I own a 2007 Jeep Liberty Sport 2wd 6spd manual with 14000 miles. I am wanting to upgrade to 4wd, as I have never owned a 2wd jeep, and will really need 4wd when the snow hits. I have been looking around for a while and I found a deal that I think is pretty good. Its a 2006 sport 4wd with 29000 miles. The upgrade will cost me $2000. Would you do it?
Would you do it?

Yes!!!!
If you can up grade for 2 grand, I'd do it.

Well if you really want the 4wd then it would certainly be cheaper/faster/less hastle than trying to convert a 2wd to 4wd. Just check it out carefully like you would any purchase and make sure EVERYTHING works and go for it.
Just my opinion.

Wait a minute, your going back a model year and doubling the mileage and still have to kick in $2k??
Yeah, 4wd and automatic transmission adds a lot of extra cost to the vehicle.

Did you look at 2008 models? They are really cheap nowadays.

nah, find one that is even trade. you have a newer with less miles, that should make up the difference between factory 2wd and 4wd.
The book value from kbb.com says that the 06 4wd books for 14990 and my 07 2wd books for 14750. While I realize I won't get them to give me book value for my trade-in, Do you think I deserve to pay less than 2000 dollars to upgrade?

Here's the thing, car dealers need to make money, they are not there to trade for the sake of trading. They would have to unload your 2wd and make money on that end too. I think 2G's is a fair deal to go to 4WD.

Look around a bit harder, I'm sure you will be able to find a 2007 4X4 KJ for a straight trade. You might have to drive a little further, but the right vehicle is out there waitning.
When I first decided to look for a 4wd I went to car dealers and they told me they couldn't find anything relatively close to my price range. So when I called family owned dealership right outside of my town and he told me about this one, I was very surprised. Considering all the looking I've done, I'm thinking of jumping on this one. I love The color (dark khaki), and the deal is so appealing. I'm going tomorrow morning for him to evaluate my jeep and get the final,exact, numbers. I'm certain I will get his best deal, and if I don't feel comfortable I will just head to the house.

The question is, how much is the ticket price on that 06 Sport you are trying to pick up? Also is the 4x4 Full Time or Part Time? Honestly Part Time is next to useless other than in torrential downpours or in deep snow...
The website says 13995. Not sure about the 4wd system, thats one thing I was going to check tomorrow morning when I drive it.
Not sure where in Southern IL you are, I used zip 67201 and found this one that looks like a good deal:

Beg to differ,have had several 4x4 over the years,none full time,nary a problem.
