Hey ya'll
This is my first Jeep ever! I have owned Honda's and Toyota's plus MB my whole life, and suddenly decided to look at what else was out there. I was really looking at the GMC Canyon which had a diesel option, and then curiosity led me to venture out for used diesels w/ 4x4 options.
As luck would have it, I found a big dealership selling a black 2006 Jeep Liberty 2.8L turbodiesel w/ 4x4. It has 127k miles on it and I'm the 5th owner. Body is clean, a few dings and scratches, and no accidents. No records, but in the maintenance book I do see where the previous owner wrote in that the timing belt was changed.
Price: I think I got a good deal at 5100+TTL - Take a Look:

Condition:
Air filter is new
No oil leaks, back of the oil pan looks a little dirty though
Oil freshly changed by the dealer
transmission fluid has a nice red color
coolant looks clean, looks new
Fuel filter looks a few years old, will change it at some point.
Power steering fluid is orangish colored (not sure if it needs a change)
Brake fluid looks clean but brown in color.
BF Goodrich Long Trail Tires are about 5 years old and have around 50% treadlife
Interior is clean, leather seats with no rips (yet), has aftermarket radio (BOSS brand, it's alright)
Factory fog lights are oxidized, will be giving it the toothpaste polish.

Drivability: No weird sounds, this is a solid running diesel with lots of torque! Suspension feels good.

Stuff I'm looking into:
-I'm thinking of adding the EVIC so I at least have a garage door opener with all the digital readouts. There is a plug hanging out behind the rear view mirror, and I think it should plug in there.
-Floor mats! This Jeep came with no floormats. My guess is the owner probably had some expensive liners and took them out before trading in. At any rate, I'll be getting some gray Husky liners - starting with the fronts.
-Thermostat - I want to replace mine with the higher temp 195 or 203F, but see that housings are a bit of a problem, something I'll check into at some point.
-Engine Tuning: Is there a way for me to check if this jeep ever had a GDE tune, or if the ECM was updated? Reason I ask is because I unplugged the MAF sensor, and after driving over 100+ miles, the check engine light has not turned on.

Overall, I'm very impressed with all the forums and info. You guys and gals are a great community!
I hope to join in on the conversations here and learn more about offroad adventures :)

If you've never had a passionate love-hate relationship before, this could be an adjustment!
