Used Jeep Liberty: the years to buy and the years to skip

Every Jeep Liberty from 2010 to 2012: what each year typically sells for (about $4,500 to $5,500), its crash rating, and whether it's a year to target or skip. The best bets are 2010–2012.

Worth knowing

  • Reliability and fuel economy are poor, and the ride is rough.

The trim we'd park in our garage

Look for the Limited: it adds leather, a power driver seat and upgraded audio over the Sport. A 4x4 model with the Sky Slider roof is a fun extra.

On the test drive

Check that every power window works and listen for sunroof rattles. Get a pre-purchase inspection and a vehicle history report before you buy.

Safety tech
