Please please please help!?

When you're looking at a vehicle, pay very special and close attention to the condition of the vehicle...i.e. stains, scratches, dirt in the crevices of the interior. Have they tried to add alot of aftermarket crap to the car? I'm always leary about any car with black wheels. Who's Robo Cop, hot-rodding, Mad Max fantasy world was this person living in. You want to find a car that the people have obviously taken care of. No one, and I can safely repeat, no one will keep their car in immaculate condition and not care enough about the mechanics of the vehicle to not get the scheduled and proper maintenance done on the vehicle. After finding a vehicle like this, speak to the owner and inquire about the service records. They'll LOVE to show them to you. That's something to be proud of to them and they're definitely gonna be proud of their car. Once you've narrowed it down, get a Carfax report for the vehicle to see the history of the vehicle. It will show you the number of owners, any accidents or issues with the vehicle..., etc. For example, I have a 250,000 mile Subaru sitting on my lot that I would jump in tomorrow and drive across the country in because it would be obvious to a blind man that this car was taken care of. You can't hide that kind of love! You can't freshen up a P.O.S. I would stay away from the European makes like the Jetta that you've seen. I know they're "cute" but they will be the most mechanically challenging and the most expensive to fix. The Jeep will be the cheapest to fix but I don't like the condition of the vehicle. The Nissan historically is going to be the most reliable, I would still keep looking if I were you. Toyota will be your best bet at the kind of mileage that you're looking at. It will typically be more expensive than the others but for a reason, they last and everyone knows it and that drives the price higher. And by the way, these people have digital camera and only have a few pictures??? What are they hiding???
