Might this Jeep I bought be considered a unicorn?

A 2006 Liberty isn't rare but one with a diesel is. I think they were only sold for 2 years. If that doesn't qualify it as a unicorn, the mileage probably should.

Im seeing big repair bills in your future... why did you buy that?

 

[Imp4]

Unicorn??? Yes!
Good buy? I guess it depends whether they paid you to take it away.....

 

[hemitom]

I wish you well my friend, i hope you got it free.

Pretty rare. I had one in the shop a few months ago.

They are common in Europe. Friend has one, diesel, 2.8 VM. Strong engine, but high consumption, body rust badly. He did some maintenance but it is fairly reliable for a old 4x4.

I think its the same (simular) engine that is in the diesel colorado, right?

Air blew ice cold. That and the body and interior look as clean as a 60,000 mile car.

Maybe that Jeep thinks it's a Kenworth and has lots of life left.

Pretty sure the OP bought that to resell. Curious what you'll put it out for?

There was/is a member on here with one and they swore by it. IIRC they had a few other Jeeps, too. Not too sure about those early VM diesels when they first immigrated but that thing is awesome either way.

Good luck with this. I thought Jeep had enough issues on their own without adding a diesel to the mix. I did love my 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee (after I replaced the engine).

Keep the fuel super clean. Change fuel filters on schedule.

The only unicorn Jeeps are those that saw action in WW2.

Unless you find a pink one. 🦄

Should have kept the S60R with the nerf'd bumper and taillamp.

Should be able to get at least $3K if it runs good.

I did and the auction fixed it. Can't tell it was damaged.

3K USD?
Good luck with that for a high depreciation model not noted for its durability with an engine option few had any desire to buy new and 300K miles.
I wouldn't give you a grand for it however well it presents and I'd not mind having another diesel having not owned one in twenty years.

No, it's a Chrysler with a check engine light on. Typical.
