I live in between my 9-5 and the mountain areas where I spend my weekends. During the weekdays / workdays, I drive 100 to 200 miles and usually 200-350 miles per weekend.
That said, I have put almost 12K miles on my Jeep since I bought it 5 months ago, and I have spent close to $1/mile on this Jeep so far and I still have to redo the entire cooling system, alternator (soon), and another pulley.
Sold my 4Runner that had 216K miles on it for this Jeep, because (1) I truly thought that it would buy me less maintenance time / money / effort and (2) I've surmised that 200K is the realistic lifespan on that motor and the entry point to big expensive repairs so it had to go. I thought that the Jeep having 90K+ miles would have been less risk, boy was I wrong there. I never bought American before and I'm starting to see that I was right to think that 100K USA made miles = 200K foreign. These things just seem to age worse than any foreign vehicle I have ever owned, probably by design.
Ranting aside, I have had to have my Jeep towed once already, which isn't cool in my book whatsoever. It's been a curse with little satisfaction, so I'll have to decide where to cut my losses.
