I've always wanted to own a Jeep Wrangler. However, I've been warned that they are expensive to maintain and require frequent work. Furthermore, I'm not able to afford a new one, and so I'm worried about buying a Jeep that might have been damaged off-road.
Are there any Jeep owners out there who can give me some ideas on what I would be getting into if I bought a Jeep? I'm not planning on doing any off-roading myself; I just like Jeeps. I'm mostly concerned about:
(1) How expensive is it to maintain?
(2) Would you recommend hard or soft top?
(3) Is there a significant danger of getting an abused vehicle? I would have it checked by a mechanic, but I wouldn't want to have to do that too many different vehicles - it would get expensive. So, how likely am I to find that the Jeeps I look at are trashed?
(4) What kind of gas mileage does one get on the highway?
(5) Are there chronic problems that anyone has observed with a particular model or year?
Thanks to anyone who can help!

Jeeps are built to be trail ready. with that said. sturdier parts will last longer but are more expensive to replace, hard or soft top is up to you. if your going to be taking the top off a soft top will make that easier, If the jeep looks clean(and i dont mean not dirty) but no body damage or leaks you should be good. I am an avid offroader/4-wheeler. Ive seen the abuse that jeeps can take. gas mileage is going to depend on the engine you get if you get the jeep 4.0 L inline six(most common) you can expect 19MPG if it has the 4 cylander you will expect a better mileage.
