Looking to replace the DD with a new car. I am not a Dodge fan at all...very much against the brand for the most part. The only thing is I love the Jeep line. That said looking at 08-09 liberty's. Test drove one, liked it for the most part...the only big reason is they offer a lifetime warranty on the powertrain and that is nice since its all dodge's junk...I have researched and the 3.7 is supposed to be a solid motor just noisy and bad mpg (but in the lower end of its class of SUV...not the worst)....why did they have to get rid of the I6 4.0????
Anyway, of course we all read the news they are hurting for sales...then they had a big writeup that they would have up to $6k rebates on 08's and yadda yadda yadda. Went Sat. before the sale and they were at 2,500 in rebates...was not interested in the lib at that level but test drove and got a quote on the DD. Called today when the "huge rebates were to hit" and it is now at a 2,000 rebate. I understand the offer would vary but $500 less on 08's and not even close to what is hyped...I mean was going to buy if it was at 3,500-4,000...not even expecting the lib to be at 6k. Hell Ford is offering 3k on the Fusion I am looking at instead. Just seems like Dodge wants to talk about selling cars instead of selling cars. I know its my own cheap arse-ness.
Wife loves the liberty and I do love Jeeps and like the thing. I also love the Fusion but with a I4 manual...that the wife is refusing to learn to drive kinda forcing the liberty.
Just a rant...I hate car shopping. Guess I will hold out until Aug. when the 10's start showing up unless better rebates show up. Very torn between the Fusion and Lib.
