cheap jeep?

My wife has always like the idea of a Jeep Wrangler, and in fact she had a Toyota Tacoma TRD for the past 10 years so the whole off-road vehicle thing isn't foreign to her. We bought her a new Fiat 500 for commuting which is working out great.

I was driving by a local used car lot (there are a bunch of them near me) and saw a Jeep for $5K. I started thinking, "hmm…that could be a fun/cheap toy for her." But since things are rarely cheap in reality, I figured I'd ask here about potential big ticket issues. Not really worried about bad mileage or lack of power - I'm assuming that. Basically just want one that is safe to drive and won't surprise me with some $2K repair. Probably want auto trans.

Any preferred years or things to look out for?
