Re: MODERN Jeep questions - used Jeeps ( Cherokee / Laredo ), longevity



A: My '88 Comanche just rolled 220,000 miles (40,000 at my hand, but I 
swapped the motor when I got it) Most '87 to '95 XJs here have 200,000 miles 
plus unless the owners didn't drive or couldn't find a decent mechanic.

  I am in the market to replace some of my aging
vehicles with more "modern" ( Ha! Ha! ) vehicles, I
have a '87 Toyota truck that's served me well,
currently driving a gas-guzzlin' '72 Bel Air bomber
with only 62,000 miles on it.
  Anyway, I am looking at vehicles from '95 and up, to
'02 or '03, as I"m NOT gonna waste money buying brand
new. What scares me is that in my area ( Washington DC
Metro ), the jeeps all seem to sell for over $10,000
even when 7-8 years old, and have 150,000 miles on
them. I REALLY don't wanna pay that much for a vehicle
with what seems to be high mileage.
  So the question is, how long will a Jeep run, how
much money is it going to cost to keep the A/C working
and mechanicals when it's been driven so much? I'm
leary of paying 5 figures for a Jeep with that many
miles on it. Who's got them, how have they held up,
and should I even think about paying that much for a
vehicle with so many miles on it? An enquiring
(frugal) mind wants to know.
