Usually what seems to be too good to be true, is. I’ve seen a cherry 2007 Jeep Cherokee Limited diesel offered for $12,900 (26,000 miles). Kelley Blue book values this vehicle at $25,800. I’ve seen that all the regular suggested maintenance has been performed. Would I be a sap to purchase this car or would I be a sap to pass it up? Waddaya think? ---

You best bet is to find a good, local, independent mechanic who knows diesels well. Pay them an hour of two of labor for a thorough inspection. ---

The worst used vehicle has to be a Jeep Cherokee. Consumer Reports seems to disagree with me. It is average but one of Chrysler’s better vehicles. With the diesel, I can’t see Jeep people fixing it. I didn’t even know the Cherokee came with a diesel. The gasoline engines were well rated for reliability, the diesel is an unknown in the Jeep. It’s a possible boat anchor. ---

I bet the OP meant Jeep liberty, and I Think the diesel engine is a older designed engine. Here is the wiki on the engine [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VM\_Motori](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VM_Motori) ---

Nope… not a Liberty, but a Grand Cherokee limited ---

The Grand Cherokee used a motor sourced from Mercedes Benz. An independent mechanic familiar with MB Diesels would have no issue with the motor. ---

Have you seen this car or is it on the internet? These trucks are still doing $20,000+ at the auctions, so I can’t imagine this is a dealer. It would be a great deal, however it sounds to good to be true and probably is. ---

The car is on the Internet… and I had been thinking of purchasing it and reselling it, but now I’m thinking I’ll just stick to my original business of finding a used car for my mother-in-law.
