What is everyones opinion on this? Checking the forsale, craigslist ads, used car websites, I've been finding a lot of Wranglers (97-00) with some high mileage. The reason I ask is I've been doing crazy amount of research into buying my first Wrangler but 90% of the time the OD reads upwards of 150,000+. I know it's crazy to think I will find a TJ with 60K for $5K I am not looking for a steal. I'm just seeing if I should even pursue something with, in my opinion, high mileage reading.

Example: I am eyeing a 98' Sahara 4.0L 5 Speed but it has 170,000 miles on it. Another one I saw a 97 $.0L 5 speed with 180,000 miles.

Maybe I am just missing out and all you lovely Wrangler owners just never want to stop driving it! I just would hate to have it for 6 months and the damn thing craps out on me. I know the best way to tell is by looking at it in person just trying to save myself a trip.

Thanks in advance!

Yeah I was looking to spend about that, maybe $8K but that's more than I was looking to get into considering some of the mods I wanted to do myself. Thanks for the offer Bimby it's just out of my budget.

Thanks for all the input! I'm really trying to limit myself in impulse buying a sub par Jeep. It's very reassuring to know that it took some time to find the one. I just will keep plugging along.

By Jove I think I found it!!! I'm going to take a look at it this week but from what I've seen it looks real nice.

Details:
00 Black TJ w/ Hard Top
145K mileage
6 Cylinder
5 Speed
Sitting on 31X10 Mickey Thompsons with Black Crager Rims with what looks like a 2-3 inch lift but it wasn't listed in the add.

Seriously thank you everyone for your input, I have my buddy coming with me to take a look at it. He's a mechanic and also a Jeep owner as well. Hopefully this one is all I am making it cracked up to be. Will def keep everyone posted!!!
