Bought mine used last September from Rainbow C/D/J in Covington, LA. It was a total accident. (I prefer to think it was ordained by Him) We had just had Hurricane Gustav rip through south LA, and my mother-in-law brought her Mazda MX-3 (my old, first car, actually) to the first shop to re-open for something, where they proceeded to disassemble the intake then tell her it needed a new head gasket. I had been wanting a diesel for some time, and had heard about the Liberty CRD, but was familiar with the torque converter issues and plus the price was too high when I was shopping in May 2006.
I had been considering ordering a new 2009 TDI Sportwagen from Volkswagen, but on a whim, I went on Autotrader and up popped this CRD about 90 miles from my house with 44K miles for $11,995. (Other places had them listed for ~$17K) Thinking to give my mother-in-law my Pathfinder and get a new vehicle (just considering, mind you) I called the dealer, got someone in sales on the phone, and asked "What's wrong with it?" He said nothing was wrong with it, they had just listed it that morning and had 3 calls already from as far away as New York. He said their web listing service (a subcontractor, apparently) had listed it wrong. It only had 24K miles and should have been listed for $17K, but they would honor the price for one day only. I called my wife, talked her into it, then called the dealer and told them I would be there that evening. It turned out to genuinely be "old-lady owned" previously.
At 9:00 am I was only sorta considering a new Sportwagen TDI. at 7:00 pm I was the owner of a new (to me) Liberty CRD.
