Last year, I bought a 95 Grand Cherokee for $300. Full leather interior, and every option but automatic climate control, and a V8. It supposedly had a bad head gasket, and a blown transmission. The head gasket was a radiator, and the transmission was a couple of solenoids. So, $100 for a new radiator, and free solenoids out of a junk trans at the salvage yard core pile, some Armour All, 409, and misc stuff, I'm up to $500. Just did a tune up, and added an MSD 6A to it, and now I get 25 highway, and around 18 in town. 196k on the clock, and 4 liter jeep engines can go reliably, to 400k if you keep up on maintenance, so I ought to be set for a while. PLUS, If I want to go Cathy Bates on somebody, I'm out about $600 total. I just don't have the ego that needs a new car to feel good about myself. Not saying that's anyone HERE, but I do know people that HAVE to maintain that status.
