M N did pass the time by typing:

95 came with all disc brakes, a good thing. You probably want to check the rotors and pads.

As for the condition, that depends on how well it was kept.

A few questions that might help folks help you.

Engine: ? Transfer case: ?

I'd also suggest you get the factory service manual. Not cheap but pays for itself the first job you do.

Our son has a 95 with 4.0 and auto, the Up Country and trailer towing packages and BFG ATs. It has over 135,000 miles. A good part of the time it was driven from Manhattan to Vermont each weekend for sking. Parked outside at -20, lots of road salt and in the summer some off road adventures and towing the jetski. For the last two years its been in the Colorado mountains (ski country) with a weekly commute to the Denver airport and parked outside.

After 11 years body rust is just starting in areas that were dented etc. Usual costs for batteries, brakes, one fuel pump and lots of routine oil changes (engine, trans, Xfr case, diffs). A few plastic parts are held on by tyraps instead of the factory push fasteners. Can't seem to kill it. Always had all the maintenance at intervals as speced by the Jeep owners manual not the "quick" intervals by the dealer.

M N proclaimed:

Depends entirely on how much reasonable care the thing has had and in some instances whether it has been modified by an idiot. They range from very reliable daily transportation with reasonable off-road capabilities to money pits that would make an ex-wife jealous.

The more you know about the service history the better.
