Is 185,000 mi too much?
I saw a black jeep cherokee on Craigslist for 2000 dollars. It has 185,000mi. It's a 1996. I want to buy it. I'm going to do a car fax first. Do you guys think that is too many miles? My 1st one was a 1992 with 150k mi. It got destroyed last week at 170k. I bought it in 2012. Some quick advice would be nice. Thank you!

I got my 98 with 222,000 miles. right now it has 278,000. I would buy it. Check out the body for rust and what Lake00XJ said check all the fluids. I would also shine a light into the valve cover from the oil cap and see if there is excessive sludge build up.
