Solid bang for the buck if you can do your own maintenance. You would have been raked over the coals at a dealer.My wife has always preferred a manual transmission. It's a long story but the gist of it is, I inherited her Hyundai Accent 6-speed after she got her present FIAT 500 5 speed. I don't like manual transmissions. Yeah, I can drive one, I just don't like to. So, I bought this. It's a 2005 Jeep Liberty 4wd with an automatic. It's a project car and my daily driver and also something i can tow behind the motorhome.
Got it for about $3500. It had 171,000 miles on it when I bought it and it leaked fluid everywhere. I replaced the power steering pump and hoses, timing cover seal and front crank seal. I can say it is now leak free. Those repairs cost me a little over $200 and that includes the tools I had to buy to do the work. Parts are cheap and the junkyards have lots of examples to pick from. Tires were pricey but necessary. I've got a few more issues to deal with, but I like wrenching. It's a project and something to do and if the car's down for a while, I have 3 other vehicles to use.
It's just for around town. I doubt I'll put 3k miles a year on it. If we need to take a long trip, we'll take the Hyundai. It gets 50+ mpg freeway and although it's a 2019, it only has 13k miles.

No kidding. That front timing cover job was quoted at $1900.
I hear you except once upon a time I had a 1993 Grand Cherokee that was very reliable. I know Jeeps/Chrysler are not known for that.
Maybe. Being an actual dash cam (reflection of dash is what is causing the haze) helps lend credence to the accident. The blind spot on a lifted vehicle and a short woman driving is going to be massive. Being that it's a parking lot, the chances of being distracted by looking for a parking spot or something else seems higher.
there was two bitches in the truck, i bet you one was distracting the other and the driver bitch was looking at the passenger bitch while driving
