 2005 JEEP Liberty Limited CRD 2.8 Diesel

For sale is a well cared for 2005 Liberty Diesel. It has a 2" lift kit (Frankenlift OME 790 HD a CRD Rated) with 245/75/16 tires. Not an over the top lift but just enough to give it the good ground clearance for rough country or lease roads. Yet, the lift is minimal enough to maintain a factory ride. It has 6 disc satellite radio (the satellite radio had been fully activated as long as I've owned it, I've never had to pay for radio service and cannot guarantee how long it will stay activated). It has 4 brand new matching BFG all terrain tires with currently less than 1,500 miles on them. The spare tire matches and is in like condition. It has leather interior with all the options available at the time aside from heated seats. It does have a block heater, husky cargo liner and front floor mats, tinted windows, 5 custom KMC matching black alloy rims with active TPMS, includes spare. The vehicle is used, it's very clean but is still used and shows expected signs of such. It does show some minor nicks or stains of the interior and some rock chips on the front bumper and hood (Some spots in the pictures are bugs or dirt which will wash off, my apologies). Even with the lift and larger tires (approx. 31" tires) the Jeep still gets 20-24mpg around town and 26-30mpg - Impressive! The lift kit, water pump, and timing belt were performed by the previous owner.

Note: I work out of state and used this vehicle primarily traveling over the road for work. The vehicle currently has 151,440 miles. Up until last week when I was provided a company vehicle, I used this vehicle quiet a bit. I depended on it and utilized my mileage per diem to maintain the vehicle in the best possible condition. Over the last several months / weeks I have managed to spend quiet a bit (over $6,500) on preventive maintenance as I was planning to continue using it. I will provide receipts and service records for such. Below is a list of the recent repairs/service within last 5 months:
  • New upper and lower ball joints and control arms
  • Rebuilt front differential w/ new stub axel
  • New front CV joint / drive axles
  • New Front drive shaft (fabricated to eliminate the commonly faulty issues with the factory shaft ends)
  • Injector service and ring replacement
  • New gel cell battery
  • Four new BFG 10ply all terrain tires (raised white letters turned in) with currently less than 1,500 miles
  • New power steering pump and hoses
  • New transmission cooler unit and hoses

I know these diesel liberty's are rare but there are a few of them out there to choose from. However, it may not be likely that these types of service have yet been performed, and they can be rather costly. This vehicle has been very dependable, however, I cannot guarantee or warranty this vehicle beyond the time of purchase, but I can provide evidence of the service records. I can guarantee it to be in good running condition at time of purchase.

Known issues:
  • The plastic front bumper was damaged at some point with the previous owner and repainted. It matches but does show some minor chipping or flaking (Some spots in the pictures are bugs or dirt which will wash off, like under the passenger side turn signal, my apologies). I could not find any evidence of body work to any of the sheet metal or on any car fax report.
  • The drain plug on the aluminum oil pan was stripped when I let a shop change my oil a couple of times back. The replacement oil pan is rather costly. I currently use an aftermarket interference fit plug with no leaks or problems. A more permanent fix would be to drill it out with a 41/64" bit and tap it with a 18mm-1.5 right hand thread. Then install a Fumoto F-104 quarter turn drain valve. This would still be protected by the skid plate and you'd never again be at risk of stripping the aluminum. This would cost less than $60 for the bit, tap, and valve. I can perform this for an additional charge or you can continue using the interference fit plug and being careful not to over tighten.

Buyer is responsible for transport or shipping. $500 deposit due with 48 hours of sale agreement. Must pay balance in full within 7 days.

I may deliver the vehicle in the lower 48 states for an agreed upon fee.

Georgia judge slashes verdict to $40M in Jeep fire case

Wed, Jul 29 2015

A judge in Georgia has drastically reduced the damages that Fiat Chrysler Automobiles will have to pay to the family of Remington Walden, who a court said died as a result of the unsafe design of one of its vehicles. While the jury originally awarded the family $150 million at FCA's expense, Judge J. Kevin Chason cut that amount to $40 million, the Detroit News reported. The automaker may still appeal the verdict. The case dates to March 2012, when a 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee in which four-year-old Walden was riding was rear-ended by another vehicle. Due to what the jury ruled was an unsafe fuel tank, a fire erupted, and Walden died in the fire. The family's lawyers successfully argued that the automaker knew there was a problem and didn't take sufficient action to address the issue, while FCA countered that its vehicles met the applicable safety standards when they were built. The jury found FCA 99 percent responsible for the fire and Walden's death, reserving the final one percent for the driver who caused the crash. The court awarded the Waldens $150 million in damages to be paid by the automaker: $120 million for wrongful death, and a further $30 million for pain and suffering. FCA, however, argued that the damages were disproportionate to the incident, noting that the $120 million was 11 times higher and the $30 million four times higher than any comparable awards upheld on appeal in the state. Chason agreed and cut the penalties extensively. The Walden family has reportedly accepted the reduced verdict. But according to the News, company spokesman Michael Palese said, "The reduction in the damage awards does not cure the many errors that tainted this verdict and denied FCA US a fair trial. We are considering our legal options." News Source: The Detroit NewsImage Credit: Jeep Government/Legal Recalls Jeep lawsuit court
