A very ambiguous question, market's/deals, finance's, whats available, and my overall condition:
my jeep 1999, 4.0 Cherokee auto, 168K miles, need to spend about 500$ on trans an headliner, Did about 500 this summer on the AC I can afford to trade/even go new, would rather find a very late model w/under 20K.....Back to question when do most owners trade to another jeep..... do many drive it till its repaired to the very end .....at what point do those who dont do all the hands on maintenance opt to move to the next one.....
save those stories about the 250k still ticking for later lol

 

We trade up once the old Jeep is no longer serviceable, mine has another 20+ years left.

In all honesty its your choice. If yours is paid off i would just keep it even as a spare play vehicle. In this economy you can't beat a paid off vehicle no matter what it is. And $500 isn't anything. That only 1 or 2 car payments depending on which vehicle and that doesn't include mandatory full coverage on financed vehicles.

Just my. 02
