New to Jeep - looking at KJ or KK

[JustSumDad]

Hello all from Vancouver Island B.C. Canada!

Looking for a KJ or a KK for my daughters first vehicle, in her budget we are looking for something a bit rough I must admit.

Just been out looking at a few Liberty Jeeps and found similar faults in the three I looked at.
Looked at a 2003 2007 and 2009 and all three had something wrong with the heater controls...
Is this a common fault?

Thanx

The blend door/actuator can be a usual suspect…

The most important thing on a KJ is rust, unless you like welding check the sills, expecially the later ones with the plastic trim that hides the rot!

Ya I was looking at a 2003 KJ and it had a really nice hole in the rocker area under the passenger side rear door. I suspect the drainage aspect of this body area is a common issue.
