One of my best was my 99 Cherokee (XJ)
Bought it for $3800, was a low mile 1 owner Jeep in 2008. I drove it for 4 years until it was stolen at a tigers game. Never had any rust, never gave me any troubles, and was just an all around great Beater DD and a blast in the snow. After being stolen it was found wrecked and partially stripped out. Insurance gave me a check for $4500 once found. Bought it back sold it to a guy at work and it is still on the road today (Down in Ohio).
Still thinking about getting another XJ for my daughter
