I don't really know how long they've been out, Since 2000-01 maybe? My parents have had 3, the first was the 6cyl with a 5spd which I really liked, the shifter had a great feel. That one got totaled by a drunken idiot in a Subaru. It had maybe 25k on it and was fine. Worst thing that had ever happened was my mother backed into a tree and broke a taillight lens. Dad's Chevy Tracker got totalled in that accident too so they bought 2 new Libertys. Both v6 auto trans. I don't like the auto as much but I'm a big fan of manual trans so its not that theres anything in particular wrong with the auto, it really seems fine. Dad LOVES his, he's a land surveyor and takes it out into the bush pretty often, says its more vehicle than the 4cyl Tracker (duh!). I thought the limited slip in the Liberty was a bit slippier than the Tracker but Dad doesn't seem to mind. In his old age he's really liking the auto. His has about 20k on it now. My mother's has about 15k, neither have had any issues at all. 2 oil changes each one done free by the dealership and thats it. They're both very happy which they should be, these are highend Liberties. I think they paid something like $20k apiece.

I ask as they got generally ok reviews, and over the last year they have started pushing them hard around here (especially given what they were gouging out of people for them, when they first gave out). For about four days in August you could have one for $119 (Cdn!) a month, IIRC 2.5 yr lease, about $1000 down. I almost dumped my coffee all over the newspaper when I saw that. It was for a low-spec model, but not base-never-seen-in-captivity material. Man, they must have some scary inventory numbers. I call that raw panic.
