my wife's trooper caught on fire last week and was totaled out (had been in the shop 1 week earlier for a intake manifold leak, rather suspicious). this was the 1st time it had been in a shop for an actual repair in 80,000 miles. it was an excellent vehicle and prior to this we would often comment how much we had enjoyed it.

now to the request: talk me into another trooper.

basicly, what's the odds on finding another trooper that does not use oil (mine used very little in 5000mi/mobil1) and that was maintained well (i was planning on keeping mine well over the 200,000 mark). i have also considered a montero (the older body style and the big one) or, do i use my insurance money for a down payment for a much newer vechile (say a commander).

talk amongst' yourselves while i go to bed.

thanks, joel
