Fellow jeep owners that hate there jeeps
You'll have to put up some pics of that one too. I actually like these tough old buzzards (that generation of the Cherokee platform - stove pot six). Unstoppable in winter. Lots of dollars to keep fixing and crude sounds from that inline motor. Tough as concrete nails.
Save the Lexus for highway trips and go off road with the Jeep. The Grand Cherokee got too fancy to be off roading. 4Runner is the alternative.

Dude if that thing ran/drove for $500, you are way ahead of the game. Anything SUV or truck that runs/drives for $500 really doesn't exist where I live, especially if its 4wd. You might find a running/driving 1995 Cavalier/Dodge Neon or something similar for $500 where I live, its not going to pass emissions, and who the hell wants a 20 year old Dodge Neon anyways lol.

Tennessee, Nashville to be specific. Everything here has gotten expensive in the past few years, real estate, beer, used cars.
But yeah, I've been down the $500 car rabbit hole. By the time I had my truck sorted with a new clutch and some other stuff it was a $1400 truck, not the $600 I paid for it.
