You can spend $100K for a top-of-the-line Jeep.
Talk about misguided priorities.
Bought my last Cherokee Xj for $250, drove it for 200K miles and sold it for $500.
It was a different world.
Looking for more, but much harder to find, and lots more expensive.
“You can spend $100K for a top-of-the-line Jeep.
I’ve never understood that phenom. I’m not at all an off-road 4x4 guy, but even a low end CJ-5 is a very expensive vehicle.
My landlord has a 1974 4x4 Wagoneer pickup that’s in very good shape, but the engine is very tired and smoky and will not pass CA smog. Cars (of every mfr) of that era had the maximum number of smog pumps and air pumps installed. It really needs a full engine rebuild/replace, which he priced out at $6K. Of course, he sees them for sale for $35K-$50K in tip-top condition, so that’s what he thinks he has.
