I think I want a Jeep, what say you Jeep junkies?

[titan2k10]

I have my eye on a 2005 Willy's Edition with 70k miles. It's a no frills pkg from an off-road equipment view but I dig the green paint and camo interior. Seems like a viable candidate to carry off-road enhancements over time. Question is: What do I need to look out for when buying an older Jeep (not off-roaded much, if at all)? Budget is sub $15k. Would be happier under $10k if possible. Thanks ODT!

Why not just dig a hole in the ground and throw money into it?

Kind of like all the cash and school time I poured into becoming a wealthy architect... and you know how that one turned out.

I see a (bad) pattern here.
