What are people's thoughts on the late-model (2009-2011) Jeep Liberty?
I'm looking to put about $7K down on a vehicle less than $20K - the cheaper, the better; and I'm definitely only interested if it has 30K miles or less. Work is going to have me driving quite a bit more over the next couple years, and so I'd like to get something that can handle the snow. Furthermore, I'm a pretty big guy, and would like to have lots of room. And I'm going to be "re-locating" quite a bit, and so four doors and a big trunk area would be handy. I've gone through a lot of different cars - Suburus, Ford Taurus, Fusion, etc; and I just think I'd prefer an SUV.
So, just kinda trying to see what the general consensus is. I think I can snag a 4WD, V6 2010ish Liberty for about $18K if I look around.
I've taken a look at the GMC Arcadia, but that was too big and too pricey. The Escape is nice, but again, with <30K miles, they're about 3K more than the Liberty. I like the new Durango - but that's WAY too much. I hate the looks of the Dodge Nitro. I'd rather stick to American (yeah, I already know that's silly - I just prefer it); but if I was going foreign, I'd consider a Nissan, but all of their stuff is too pricey, too.
