Hmmm, I'd buy it but its advertised as a Mercedes Benz 2.8L engine, I have a VM motori in mine

I have no opinion on the quality or condition of the motor but take a look at the top of the engine pictures which clearly show it's a VM not MB motor. To my eyes it certainly appears to be a 05/06 CRD 2.8L VM motor.

That motor looks like the one in my Jeep... and mine is a VM Motori engine...
I have to laugh every time someone says that these Jeeps have "Mercedes engines" or that they were made by Mercedes.

You would be correct sir...it is a VM engine. This leads me to question anything about the add.

Seller told me it has 116k miles and is off of a 2004 Jeep Liberty. Can't trust that the work seller claims actually occured if seller can't even figure out what engine he/she has.
