2005 Jeep Liberty
150K +/- miles
4WD, gas 3.7L engine
This was my daily driver but wound up with a coolant leak somewhere around the water pump and it couldn't go 2 blocks without overheating. Before addressing the leak, we found a more family friendly vehicle and this has been essentially abandoned.
I intended to fix this but never got to it and now it's time to get it out of the way. I replaced the cooling fan and thermostat which were the first to go. Perhaps it could make a great farm vehicle or spare car for off roads/winter use given the working 4wd and trailer hitch. The outside is also in decent condition and the brakes were replaced around 2019.

The bad
It's nearly 20 years old
I parked it in 2020 and haven't touched it since.
Battery is dead and there's a slow electrical drain somewhere back when I was driving it.
I bypassed the heater core (aka no cabin heat because fumes and 'smoke')
Front passenger tire is rotted and holds air for a day. The others aren't much better, the spare is the best in the bunch.

The price
Given the fluctuation of the car market, I'd like to start at $1,000,000 OBO.
I would consider a new or slightly used Ferrari as a trade only if you're able to also bring cash to the table to match the difference. :cool:
The wife is calling up junk yards and is getting offers between $500 and $1,000. I'd prefer this go to a better home.

$500 sounds fair to me. Not into bartering. Give me $500 and I'll take.

Pretty sure you got 3 extra zeros on that. Lol
I see your point but also respect your typo. 1 million is now one billion. Cash.

I'm fine with donating it to a local high school Auto Tech / Welding club / whatever. But I'm out of those circles if they even exist anymore.
I had one just like it and it was a Good vehicle; only complaint was poor gas mileage.
Only repair was a worn out rear differential and got one from a junkyard in Tville.
It looks pretty good to me.
But. Some you know what I drive...
They're blah Jeeps apparently designed for women.
It is what it is. The 2023 Corolla MSRP is now $37K.
If you all want to look a gift horse in the mouth, to the crusher this goes.

If it wasn't so far away from me, I would take a look.
Looks like it could be a nice little ride .
