About to buy a Jeep :)
Currently in the works trying to find a Jeep on craigslist for the brutal MN winter because my daily is a 370z!
Is it completely unrealistic to find one of these in good running condition for 1k-1.5k??
I have already been paroozing Craigslist and I have been finding a few around 200k miles for that price.

Good running condition? Sure. Good running and not 50% eaten away by rust, in MN, for $1.5k? Not as confident about that one. Might require extensive searching and expanding the search area.

For that budget you might actually be better off with a ZJ or WJ Grand Cherokee, they seem to be easier to find in decent shape at a decent price these days, granted they do have a weak transmission and more electrical gremlins.

No problem, just keep your feet on the 2X4 and don't mind the exhaust fumes, you'll be fine.
If the Nissan has already been baptized there is no reason to save it now. Might as well just drive it and sell when the paint first starts to bubble.

I was in your shoes last year. Finally found one last November for $1500. 186k on the body and 160k on the motor. Had a few rotted places but nothing major. Had the original plan of keeping it as a winter beater but..the Jeep bug got me and check it out now..
Just keep looking and be patient. I found mine after several weeks of looking and I never regretted going with this one after all the other ones I looked at.
