I'm not a new member, but am a new CRD owner as of yesterday. My GF finally tired of the quirks and small repairs her '06 tossed at her. The last straw was a coolant leak that, for the life of me, I couldn't trace down. No puddles anywhere or traces of coolant, just a slowly dropping coolant level over a few weeks time leading to a "Low Coolant" dash light. So we took it to the shop. Turned out to be a crack in the plastic tank that only leaks when the engine is hot and the coolant under pressure.

She sold me the Jeep for the cost of the repair, about $600. It has 121,000 miles on it and I've been around it, and worked on it, for the last 9 years/97,000 miles. I hated to see it go, so now it's mine.

My GF is the happy owner of a new 2019 Cherokee Trailhawk, also as of yesterday. Yeah, I know, but the only real Jeep they make anymore is the Wrangler, and she drives mostly on pavement, so a more car-like vehicle suits her just fine as long as it sits up higher than most cars, can drive through 18 inches of snow, and has plenty of room in back for the dog.
