Celebrities in affordable cars could spark interest in used Jeeps in New York

Maintenance on most of the cars that celebrities drive can cost thousands of dollars for service that costs hundreds for non-luxury models. So its not surprising that seeing stars Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck get into an SUV could spawn sales of used Jeep Liberties in New York.

Seen in their un-trendy attire (Her: hoodie, jeans, sneakers; Him: tracksuit), a more affordable Jeep Liberty might make more sense for celebrities and the rest of the world when they’re not out looking to turn heads, compared to the cars that the paparazzi normally catch Affleck driving, like an Audi S8 or Mercedes-Benz S63.

New and used Jeep Liberties in New York could offer stars like Affleck the ability to go off-road with more facility than other compact SUVs, as its “a thoroughly capable and comfortable compact SUV if you like to bash boulders,” according to Edmunds.com.

A 2005 model may also be more attractive than previous models, according to the website, because of a re-designed interior that includes more comfortable seats and relocated switches.
