Bought a '92 4 door auto with 245k for $850. Needed valve cover gasket, battery, exhaust and windshield to get it inspected. Then minor things will get fixed. Like seats, headliner, rear brakes, dash bezel, new lift gate shocks, and an armrest for the center console.

$400 and came with an extra set of wheels, transfer case, and v8 ZJ Upcountry springs. Sold the transfer case for $150, so $250 I guess.
Chunk broke off the head when I changed the tstat so I had to put a new head on it, but other than that I haven't had to spend money fixing it. That was around $350 or so with the gaskets, new plugs, and return core charge on the old head. Everything else has been upgrades or basic maintenance.

I paid $5,000 for it with 145k on the clock. Super clear interior and exterior, no rust, well maintained and aside from some paint imperfections it's a damned good looking shade of green.
And here she is today, almost 2 years later.
