80K is nothing on a 99 - it's very understandable for a five-year-old car. There are many CEG'ers running around with well over that even. (Unisys, for example, just turned 200K on his 98.)
At any rate .. congrats!!! We used to have a Grand Cherokee, it was one of my favorite vehicles my parents have owned.

i just got a 92 exploder xlt....good truck. Little rust here and there but the engine is fins as is the trans, and believe it or not the V8 isn't much worse than my svt on gas. For $1000...i couldn't say no.

You'll get sucky gas mileage with the inline 6 as well, sorry to say. My wife has a 98 Cherokee Sport, and she might just hit 20 mpg on a long highway trip. Four-wheel-drive gulps down the gas even faster. She had a 95 Wrangler before that. Jeeps are great, sturdy vehicles that don't ask for much in terms of maintenance or repair, and they're not too primadonna-ish so that you're afraid to get in one with muddy shoes..
Old car: '98 SVT T-Red
K&N air filter; Ford Focus RS shift knob. Off to be auctioned off somewhere.
New car: 2003 Honda Accord DX Sedan, 5-speed.

But when you can run an inline 6 to 316,840 miles, like my uncle did, it just might be worth it
