The car had performed exceptionally since I bought it two years ago. It is a 2014 Jeep Patriot. When I drove it off the lot there were eight miles showing on the odometer. I have performed routine maintenance such as oil changes.

I purchased this vehicle when it was two years old at a time when I needed a roomier vehicle to accommodate my disabled husband. The front seat has plenty of legroom, and the back folds down to hold several bags of groceries or livestock feed. It can tow a light trailer, and the body has survived three episodes of 'deer damage' with only minimal repairs needed.
