Hey all, im not quite sure where to post this. I figure you guys can help me out.
My daily driver is a '94 Jeep wrangler. I love it, and my father and I both love offroading ( He has a monster 1981 CJ ). However my jeep also gets 11-14 MPG, and is HARD to drive. Its fun, to me theres nothing better then cruising with the top off in a jeep, but i do alot of driving and an older jeep isnt easy to drive for long periods of time. And it doesnt help i just graduated, so things are shakey financially.
So I'm looking to sell my jeep for now, and buy a car. Then get back into 4x4's in a bit when im back on my feet.
So here lies my problem. I'm having a hard time picking a car beucase whatever i buy has to last, i'm on my own are far as car problems. I want a car thats not insanely horrible on gas like my jeep, and is a bit sporty. I am 18 and a guy after all, ( though im not the kind that destroys cars with stupid driving) so i dont really want a little dinky honda.
I like the looks of the mark 8's and theres one down the street from me. However i imagine theres something majorly wrong with it. The price is 1900 and its a 1993. It has 89k on the odometer, but the guy wasnt there when i stopped by. Hopefully i'll catch him today. The body was in greaat shape with no rust (odd here in MA).
So the question is, would this be a decent vehicle for me? Even with a v8 i imagine the gas mileage would still be better then what im getting. What are your MPG averages? Are these cars reliable, and i know its a Lincoln but how expensive is it to repair of something does break?
I'm losing my mind, what do you think?
