94 Bone stock Florida Jeep with 155K for 750. I practically stole it.
Not to mention its a 2 door with a 5 speed. It did need two tires and the horn doesnt work but still a good deal.

89' stock cherokee limited 4 door 4x4 auto trans 240,000 - $240
Ran and drove alright, gave it a tuneup and tightened steering box. Runs and drives good now, just needs a manifold gasket. No rust, pretty clean outside, vinyl flooring, leather seats with tears so seat covers, needs a new headliner.

1995 2 door 5 spd with 132,000 miles bone stock. My dad gave it to me for FREE because he has a company van and my grandfather's pt cruiser and never drove the Jeep. I almost sold it, but decided to keep it to play with and for a back up vehicle...I am glad I did. I have spent around $1000 on tune up parts, lift, exhaust, and rims/tires. Still have more I want to do.
I picked up my 01' from a dealer in 2004 for 9K. Ended up spending way more getting it where I wanted it to be, after learning and living.
Now I just picked up a 97 with 44k miles for 3K. A lady inherited it from her Grandma. It was truely the deal I was waiting for.

I bought it for $1700 a while back ago and starter after a week to rebuild it. Went from small and ran like crap to my daily/offroader
It actually broke down on the way home and I had to drive back the next night with a trailor to pick it up lol
I've put around $6500 into it and a lot more to come

98 XJ with 104,000 on it was a gift from parents that got a new van. It was my mothers jeep, and she bought it new. I know how it was driven, I don't think it ever saw 70mph.
