My '98 Grand Cherokee had 156K when it blew a head gasket, so we figured a newer car was in order for our frequent long distance
trips. I then bought my '07 Patriot and am right at 150K. I probably saved 10k on tires and gas alone over that time. The Pat is all
original except for front brake pads. I kept the '07 (lifetime warranty) and just bought a new 2016 Pat. If the '07 runs another 10k miles
without repairs it will be the cheapest car I ever owned. I run 70-75 on the freeway, so I don't baby it. I feel for people having high
repair costs today, but I am well satisfied with the Patriot.
