Post subject:  Hello From Indianapolis, In
Any members in the Indianapolis area? Just moved here from Jacksonville,Fl i was stationed. never been good with navigating forums Im sure theres a way to find out if there are members in my area but not sure how. Any thoughts on purchasing a 2003 liberty it has 60,000 miles but seemed to have a slight groaning noise when I took it for a test drive. getting it inspected by a mechanic though before i even think of buying. Any thoughts on what i should pay i took the average from the 3 big name websites and came to an average of about $8,400.00 seller wants $9,995.00 i would be paying in cash also if that helps decision i just dont want to low ball. Thanks for any help.

Welcome! There are local groups in Indianapolis here viewforum.php?f=139 for you to check out. :)

As to the grinding noise, I have a 02 liby that i bought with about 60,000 miles and it had a slight grinding noise... turned out to be a bad wheel bearing.

As to cost, if your shop finds something that needs fixed, use it to negotiate your price, but i still payed 8999 for mine after much arguing with the salesman...

Good luck!

I offered 9 but after the vehicle inspection it needs new tires new breaks all the way around. they said the pinion seal was seeping slightly drive shaft cv boot ripped steering gear and high pressure and power steering line seepage. but the mechanic said none of this was a big deal what do you guys think? also the $9,000 offer was after the inspection is this too high for the work needed?Thanks for any help PLEASE HELP!

It depends on what it is. I can do brakes and rotors and there is always you tube :P . Im sure i can find a local member or friend to help me for a 12 pack or more :D . My main concern is the price. do you think $9,000 is a fair price for a loaded limited liberty even with the needed repairs.

Welcome

Always try to haggle with the seller to get the price down....
