Debating on parting with my CRD after owning for a little over a year. I still like the Liberty but I am always finding myself wanting a new BMW 1 series, plus my wife and I already have another SUV. I bought it in 2011 with 88xxx miles on the clock and now its sitting at 101xxx, timing belt is sitting in my garage and would be completed prior to a sale unless the next buyer was wanting to do it themselves. Mileage wont go up any since I am out of the country until mid April (another reason this is a feeler). I am just trying to get a feel of what the market is these days and what the Jeep might be worth. I would rather sell it to someone who would want it rather than take whatever trade in offer the stealership gives me.
Basic info:
2005 CRD Sport - Silver
101xxx miles
Torque converter recall complied with
Automatic
Cloth interior
Modifications:
ARB Front Bumper
Warn M8000 Winch
Optima Yellow Top
Frankenlift II Premium lift kit
Boiler Plate upper spacer 1/4"
3 Ring Clevis lift
One extra isolater in the rear
265/75-R16 (32") Treadwright Guard Dog tires with about 2000 miles on them, spare same size zero miles all on BFGoodrich casings.
Bedlined front and rear bumpers, fenders and from the cut line in the door down. Liked the idea after seeing it on a KK here on the forums so I decided to give it a shot, its held up suprisingly well except a few spots on the bumper where the winch cable rubbed on it but I can take care of that no problem.
Removed the inner fender liners up front due to tire rub at full lock, still have them and can install anytime.
Known issues:
Timing belt is coming due but I plan to knock that out as soon as my deployment is over.
Factory electric fan took a crap, replaced with a 12" slimline fan that can be manually turned on or off.
Disconected the EGR sensor on the air box causing a CEL (not really an issue or me but figured it was worth mentioning)
Previously blew an intercooler hose on the cold side of the intercooler but I replaced with OEM part and new couplings, zero issues since then.
Its been muddy and dirty and stuck I wont lie. Nothing I would consider excessive though. Ive only had it offroad three or four times since I bought it. Interior is clean with the exception of the drivers side footwell from my muddy feet haha, I plan to shampoo that area clean and buy rubber floor mats regardless of if I sell the Jeep or keep it.
Any questions feel free to ask, I am mostly looking for an idea of its value since KBB usually doesnt reflect will on small production runs such as the CRD. I was thinking somewhere about $13,000.
Pictures of the Jeep both before lift in the dirt and after lift in the driveway.
Looks pretty much just like the last picture but as of today the winch and the lights on the bumper are in the garage instead of on the bumper. One of the HID ballasts burnt out recently and the winch needed a new solidod (spelling?) so I took them off just before heading on my deployment.
