i doubt it. He wants something to dd back and forth to school. Something that gets good mpg's and reliable. Parts are cheap as you said and any car can be potentially a rice car, even mustangs.

Seriosly though, try a probe V6 lol. You will save 4-5k. Plus its good on gas, and reliable if you get a well maintained one.

factory suspension jeeps wont roll...if you get one lifted you could be lookin at a problem depending on the type of lift and how high...maybe a jeep cherokee sport? they are pretty nice and are amazingly cheap, same indestructible engine as the wrangler
