Alright NS, my parents have decided that we're getting rid of one of our cars and keeping the other. I have my pick between a 2000 Volvo V70XC and a 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo.

pros:

has more room

slightly better gas mileage

less miles on it

newer

sunroof

cons:

it's been in a mild wreck

it's a "mom" car

it is kind of a "problem car" with a small repair issues

more expensive to repair

pros:

has a ski box

better awd system

can tow things

better sound system

cheaper to repair

been in a garage when not being used

cons:

it's old

roughly 300,000 miles on it

worse acceleration than volvo

starting to rust - needs some body work

Note: both cars aren't worth very much, that's why I get to choose.

So NS, which one would you take?

also, we put a new motor in my moms xj at 120,000 miles because her old one self destructed... worst investment ever made. ever.
 
Since you said neither of them are worth much i would take the one i didn't want drive it out to the desert and drive the hell out of it. Im talking jumping it of sandunes and shit and once it wont go anymore shoot it full of holes and leave it for coyotes to make sweet love inside it.
 
I dont know if the grand cherokee came with the inline 6 so I wouldnt go with that. thats a lot of miles. And i wouldnt care about the acceleration. Its not like your racing these things
