I have a friend who really has 465,000 miles on an '87 Samurai, his work truck for the last 22 years. He recently asked (2 years ago now I guess) for me to find him a Tracker ragtop, as his daughter killed his '98 model, which his wife drove daily. I found an '03 Tracker ZR-2 ragtop, stick in Reno. Bright yellow with gray interior. He purchased it immediately, now has 120K miles on it and going strong. He had almost 80K miles out of the original tires. For an everyday car, he and his wife seem to like the Tracker. The auto may rob some power, but you'll still have a good wheeler and snow car, probably good for 25 mpg.

By the by, in the US, that model was applied to the 2-door rag and the 4-door hardtop wagon. Calmini and other have go-parts and stuff for them, too.
