I have never put this much money into a vehicle this old. But I guess 1500 isn't all that much.

If I bought a used vehicle for say 3,000 I would probably have a vehicle in worse shape that this jeep. At least I know what has been done with the jeep.

Besides. with a jeep I know he will stand a chance in an accident versus a car. Plus the jeep is a 4 x 4
