[QUOTE="xackley, post: 424615, member: 17509"] When looking at the odometer, press and hold the trip reset button. It will display the hours the engine has run. So Miles/hours will let you know the average speed for the life of the jeep. Mine was 39.99 when I bought it, which let me know it spent most of its life on the highway, not in stop and go or trail. Mine also had highway tires and the bottom and body showed no sign of being off road. As above, if has been modified, I would look elsewhere. I would consider the jk I bought high mileage, 125000 miles, but it was really clean and I know I will never put more than a couple thousand mile in a year, and the price was adjusted correctly for that mileage. You are in a Low Country, excuse my ignorance but how far and where would you have to go to find a road that needs 4 wheel drive. I think the wrangler is very good in snow, but have no idea what the winter is like in Belgium. I guess what I am thinking about is how to decide on the tires you might want, I try to be realistic on how aggressive vs actual pavement time. Beware most of those youtube jeeps get trailered to a 4wd park and would be useless as a practical vehicle. The jeep as it came off the assembly line will handle 99% of any thing you will ever encounter, unless you go out looking to test its limits. Don [/QUOTE]
