I had the same car except a 94. It was such a good car, it lasted me forever (as long as I took care of it). The previous owner had basically driven it into the ground (no tune ups or even oil changes), but it was a great car... it lasted me years, got driven all over CA and was very fun.

If you just take care of it you can get 200-300K miles on it easy. Jeeps are great cars. I never used to like them cuz the stigma of USA cars being crappy, but I would definately buy another one!

They are also pretty cheap to fix and most people who know a thing or two about cars can work on them pretty easy! Also really easy to get parts for!
