My gf wants to buy a Liberty. I'm a 4x4/truck guy but I don't know non-standard Jeeps that well.

We crossed off the 08-12 ones quick because they are pretty universally disliked, but we do like the 02-07. My dad has a 2001 XJ Cherokee (Liberty's predecessor) that he's built into a mild crawler, but left the power plant stock and it's run like a dream for the 10 years and 80k miles we've put on it.

They SEEM to be fairly well liked and reliable, at least about as much as more standard CJ/YJ/TJ/XJ Jeeps. I've only been researching seriously for a few days though so I'm sure there's a lot more to learn.

I'd like to hear whatever you can tell me be it good or bad, especially any common issues I should be aware of. We found a nice one for sale, it looks practically brand new and is in a very nice area (we're talking million-plus dollar houses here) so it was probably well cared for.

>Inb4 get a "real" Jeep
It's going to be left completely stock and used as a DD for my 24 y/o qt so I don't really care that it's not a "real" Jeep.

>ITT just ask about your car

I have a 2002 (e39) 525i BMW (m54 i6) and I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to enhance the overall driving experience. Something sensibly priced, something that would increase power and or efficiency. I haven't been able to find anything online about this so I would really appreciate any help you guys give me, thank you.

What do you think of the New line-up from Lada? They are trying to branch out to the international market it seems With their reasonably priced cars. Now that Nissan and Renault are partnering With them, is build quality finally mildly on pare? (I didn't find any English reviews so shoddy on the build-quality thing) They look kinda Nice as well.

Personally I would debadge the thing, black it out, ebay-turbo the shit out of it so everyone would Wonder what magnificent shitbox brand is ruining their ride to the groceries.

Thoughts?

Is this worth $200?

My buddy wants to scrap his 1993 Saturn SL2 but offered to sell it to me for $200. I was going to split it $100 each wtih other friend as a shitty project car, but fuck me is it a project.

Here's a run down after I went to check it myself. Keep in mind the car had been sitting for a month out on the curb without being started in that month. I'll include more pictures in the thread. Feel free to laugh at me for even considering paying the $200. At the very least he's willing to tow it to my house for free, and will throw in the Haynes service manual for it.

-Needs new battery (tried jumping but it didn't turn over)
-Driver airbagged already deploy (see pictures)
-Windshield has a big long crack in it (see pictures)
-Front is damaged
-AC works, just needs new filter
-Front and Rear lights work
-He said he installed a new crank shaft sensor so I'll have to check more on that
-Has 214,076 miles before the odometer stopped working (he said it could be around 400,000 currently for all he knows)
-Haven't checked vin yet but I might aswell in VIN bro's threads

And the biggest issue probably is that he said it won't pass smog.

I don't plan on using the car on public streets anyway but to be towed to empty dirt tracks on private land to fuck around in and pretend to be a rally driver. Am I in over my head on this? Would it just be a money drainer? How much do you think would it cost to get it into working order?

If the cost to get it into working order is equal to that of an already working lowend shitbox I might just pass.

>see Facebook used car sales post
>'82 Corolla
>$600 USD
>asks how much mileage it's got
>avoids the question and says car was "fixed" six months ago
>says odometer is busted

Seeing how they tampered it, is this car even worth buying? It looks... Okay, but I'm weary about even doing oil changes on a car this potentially fucked over. Kinda sucks because 80's Corollas look nice.

I'm gonna go see a 2002 Maxima with the VQ35DE V6 and manual. Anything in particular to look out for on this engine?

Also general opinion on these cars? They have like 250+ hp so it seems like a good buy for cheap, especially with the manual.
