I have the chance to buy a 2006 Jeep Liberty 3.7L for $6K (in Australia known as the Cherokee KJ), with 122K kilometers (75800 Miles) on the ODO. It has a small dent at the back (where the spare wheel is mounted) but looks like an easy fix. I have a pretty good idea on what to check on the Diesel 2.8L (I also own a 2006 Libety CRD), but have limited knowledge on the 3.7L and the 4 Speed Transmission. From what I read the 3.7L are bullet proof, but the transmissions (42RLE) are junk and break easy. "http://etereman.com/blog/fiat-transmission/what-problems-plague-the-chrysler-42lre-transmission" Are there anything specific to check on the 3.7L with the 4 Speed Auto ? |

I recommend the 6-speed with the 3.7L. Closer ratios than the auto and shifts really nice (Mercedes built). |

Never had any real issues with the auto behind the 3.7 over 222,000 on the 04 110,000 on the 05 and 121,000 on the 03 |

The Jeep turned out to be a lemon. Only had a few years of service history, and the it wasn't shifting smooth. By the time I got back to the Dealer from my test drive, the 4 Speed Auto transmission fluid was puking out. However I did like the power of the V6, as it had plenty of power. I'll just keep looking for now. |
