I thought it was about Deep Breaths . . . 5 with slow exhales in-between and we all can have a nice 'edumakated' interactive-experience ! Hey 5JeepsAZ . . . I noticed your NEW Thread . . . not getting enough feedback about "Pricing" ?
Boy I can think of a better way to spend 5K, than repairs to a 2010 Liberty (?) - do I have that right ? Well unless the Liberty is truly on its "last legs" ! Not like a maimed Horse or Dog . . . where you could take it to the vet. and cry all the way home (alone) ! I DO recall early on in my life where I had a "lame" car - it was a "Fix-It-Again-Tony" 850 Sport Coupe, circa 1971 ! I was a poor college student and it was 1976 . FIAT's were tin-cans then but it ran like a charm . Unfortunately it also rusted in weird places . I LOVED it, but couldn't afford $50 in repairs, let alone 5K ! ! ! Ha, I bought it Brand New (1971) for & $1860 ! That year I sold it for $900 - not bad, not a bad investment ! Heck, I had my first "auto erotic" encounter one foggy night at the beach - don't ask !
. That won't buy a set of Rims & Tires these days ! And that my friends are 2 True Stories, in One Post !

Well sir, the liberty.I thought it was about Deep Breaths . . . 5 with slow exhales in-between and we all can have a nice 'edumakated' interactive-experience ! Hey 5JeepsAZ . . . I noticed your NEW Thread . . . not getting enough feedback about "Pricing" ?

I got excited about the JT. I got jeep fever. I dug out my wife's old fully optioned defunct liberty w 185K miles on it. Internet said it was worth something, more if I fixed this and that. I was washing it to sell. It was way nicer than I remembered. So decided to maybe repair it, then sell, depending on if it had major issues. The garage wouldn't drive it. I got tires, windshield, registration, insurance, and all the fluids. It drove okay and fluids looked clear enough. Now the garage would drive it. Two actuators and a couple of sensors later, stuff worked and the dash warning lights went out. So I went ahead with the bent axle and more stuff. It's worth what I have in it now plus a bit. It's a very nice jeep, and since my wife despises it, it's all mine!
It's a piggy bank. I can sell it, get all the $ back and then some. Spend the cash on JT.
It's an insurance policy. If JT price is wrong for me, I can drive it until either getting used JT or resto.
