>>17755401
you're not going to get a good vehicle for 1500. save up another grand.

Ye of little faith
I picked up a '92 1JZGTE Soarer for $1000, with only minor issues that i fixed the day I bought it.

>>17755440
i dont have the option. also thats bullshit you fuck

>>17755307
Take a look at it and see what you think. Check what you'd check on any other car. Personally I'd jump at the chance to snag a two door manual XJ with the 4.0 I6.

He isn't entirely wrong. The I6 XJ does have a drivetrain whose reliability is certainly legendary; but regardless of how good it is at over 20 years old and 180k miles, you're going to have to know how to work on it.

Is it possible for you to pick this up and it actually be in decent shape? Very well could be, won't know till you drive it. But regardless, you're going to need to become very well farmilar with common problems in these vehicles and how to spot them; that is just par for the course for ANY vehicle of this vintage.

But a final note, if you go look at it and it looks good. I'd recommend it; you could certainly do a lot worse for 1500 USD.

then borrow a grand from family or your parents or some shit.

A Cherokee mostly likely won't give you any better mpgs than that
