On Saturday, my friend and I took a 6am bus to New York, New York (which is 133 miles from where I live, 3.5 hours one way) and began the journey. It was his first time in New York. We live in a v. small town with cows and stuff so seeing all the buildings and people was fun!

I had my eye on this particular jeep for over a month now. A 2007 Jeep Liberty Sport with only 17k miles on it! (unreal!!!) I did my research, made sure this was the one I wanted. The carfax showed it only had one owner, they drove about 2k miles a year. This is my first car that I purchased with my own money!!!

Any other Jeep owners out there? I'd like to know where I should be buying parts. Quadratec looks promising. I've been shopping around, there's a lot out there.

This whole experience is still so unreal to me. I can't believe it's right outside my house!!!! Finally! Maybe I should have posted this in the bragging forums lol.

I've been thinking about fixing an old '86 Jeep Cherokee for a while now as it sits at my parent's place pretty close to dead. It'd take about $500 worth of parts, but I'm not sure it's worth doing. They're completely different vehicles, but it's a Jeep, I guess. My daily driver is an '05 Scion xB, which has just crossed over 100,000 miles. So, congrats on buying a new-ish vehicle. It's always fun to take the car home after all the headache of buying/paying for, registering, paying taxes on (Washington State charges 9% almost in tax, it's murderous), getting insured, and FINALLY taking home and driving everywhere with.

That is totally worth doing!!! my dream car would be a 1999-2001 Jeep Cherokee! (heart eyes!) But sadly most have almost 200,000 miles or are rusted to no return! they are all unibody. And finding one on craiglist was a pain.

I decided to go with something a little newer and more reliable (but also with off-roading abilities!) However the liberty is unibody too, but this one barely has any rust! Just the exhaust pipe which I can easily replace. But I really want to splurge and add new front lights, (currently have my eye on 100 watt KC Hilights) seat covers, eventually get new tires... and the list goes on! everyday I find new stuff, it's getting bad. my wallet is crying lol.

Yeah, the one I'm looking at fixing hasn't much rust. It's been in the family for 10 years too. All it needs is a "Selec-Trac" pneumatic canister so it can switch to 4-wheel drive, new tires, and two front seats. Past that, I'd need to vacuum it out, cut the headliner out (to just go without) and a new stereo head unit (one that runs Android Auto (gotta have that, yes expensive, yes worth it)).

That's completely understandable. I was considering a Nissan Xterra (I like Nissans, Mazdas, and Toyotas the most... probably because I'm 1/4 Japanese...) but the aforementioned Jeep is worth fixing, so I'll pocket the money for said Nissan Xterra to get a Mazda RX8 (my dream car!)

Reminds me of when I bought my 2011 Ford Fiesta. I wanted one of around that year, because after...2014-ish they changed the green to a more lime/less metallic one that I didn't like as much, lol. So I finally found one online at a dealership with low mileage and one owner. Bought it just over a year ago now and I still love it. I call it Kermit because it's green and I'm lame, lol.

Congrats on owning your first vehicle! I live in poverty so there won't be any vehicles for me. Plus, I wouldn't be able to afford insurance and maintenance.
