My jeep
Greetings from an austrian Jeep-driver!
I bought my '89 XJ 2.5l 4x4 in the austrian ebay for 2000 Euros, and it was heavily modified for Trial contests and other 4WD events. It had 174000+ miles on it, much of that was offroad, and must be actually even be more because the previous owner had much larger (military type) tires on it without modifying the odometer. Needless to say it wasn't streetlegal anymore. I invested some time re(down)building it and another 2400 Euros making the car streetlegal again and undoing some problems from its previous hard life, and now after more than a year it has 182k+, and everything is working great. I'm still doing offroad now and then. For european standards my car is a wreck, with none of the modern standards, but the engine is doing great (nothing had to be done to it, despite its age and previous usage, due to the good old GM-workmanship), I feel very safe and confident with it and I use it as a daily driver especially in winter. So my old and trusty Jeep might be a good bargain just as well as any brand new, leased, whatever model. Especially the old original! boxy design is superb and superior to any modern design, imho. http://www.ghomepage.at/images/jeep1.jpg http://www.ghomepage.at/images/jeep2.jpg rgds, Gilbert. |
