So, what's the deal with these things? One turned up on craigslist with 120,000 miles for $2900. It's a 1995 and looks pretty good. Is this a safe bet? What would you guys say would be the average life expectancy and what does it cost to repair these things in the event that they do require major overhaul? I've seen several with an excess of 250,000 miles, but I suppose there are Dodge Caravans out there with that many miles too. Is 250k normal? I'm looking for a big SUV as a secondary vehicle and Land Cruisers seem to be worth their weight in gold. Is the Montero a suitable substitute for a Land Cruiser?

Thanks in advance for any input.
