Well folks, got a few questions, mostly for the CRD owners in the Chicago area. I've been out of town for a while and just checked the list of Chrysler dealers in Chi-town area that will be closing down. Well, who will be left? Who do you area folk consider to have done a good job maintaining your CRD's? My own KJ has been a lot of quirky fun, no real problems that Continental Jeep in Countryside hasn't been able to handle, but I guess they're done and out in a couple of weeks. Secondly, the vehicle is a lease vehicle with about 3 months left. As I said, the car has been a bit of quirk, and we love the sound of that diesel and letting folks know we're burning bio. We're seriously considering making an offer for purchase - it's an '06 Sport and will probable have 34K or so at lease end. So, any thoughts from members with regard to price, future maintenance, etc., etc.?

unfortunately my dealer is on the list too. guess its about time to work on the liberty anyways mine now has 101k miles and its a 06. i hope i can find a dealer that wont rip you off on parts tho. thats my biggest concern.

Andy, that's some serious mileage for a metro Chicago kind-a-guy!

Next time I take mine to a dealer mechanic, I'm going to find a local Sprinter dealer. I've got a while yet, 100k is the timing belt replacement and I only have 72k on mine right now.
