Hello Forum Friends, in the spirit of full disclosure,
I bought a Jeep commander 2006 3.7L automatic, with ~180,000 miles and had is registered and emissions verified by MVD in Phoenix AZ about 2 weeks ago. AT the time the 2 defects I found were (1) the front windshield washer spray nozzles were not working because the rubber tube connecting the reservoir to the nozzle was cut on the hood, and the driver side rear window motor would not send the window glass up or down. Yesterday while on the freeway the vehicle threw a piston and a couple of small chunks of the engine block blew out.
The A/C runs icy, the gears fall correctly (its an automatic), the transmission and the drive shaft etc., are all functioning well. The body has no dents. I have been told by a mechanic friend that it would need a new engine at perhaps a total cost of $4,000, which I am reluctant to spend.
I would like to sell the vehicle as is. The VIN # is 1J8HH48K36C211170. The vehicle when I checked Kelly's Blue Book the vehicle was priced at Typical Listing Price of $6,297 from a dealership with the separate addition of doc fees and Sales Tax. I am based out of Phoenix AZ. I will post pictures of the vehicle later today or tomorrow.
Thanks for reading. Positive comments, suggestions and all offers are welcome.
I am also posting this in the Buy/Sell -> Parts forum of this site.
