and have it for fun. You can get used ones all the time for relatively short money. They are domestic and parts aren't all that bad, so if you need to fix it it probably won't cost a ton.
I have rented them on Nantucket and my neighbor has one. Off road they are marvelous. But otherwise you'll find the ride rough, the seats dreadful, the handling poor, and they are noisy on the highway. Cold in winter too, if you live in a colder climate. My neighbor got it for fun (he also has a Grand Cherokee) and while he likes it around town tells me it is awful for highway use and not comfortable for any runs of over an hour.
Be aware of insurance costs. Check that in advance. It may be higher than you think, as they are not very safe and because many are driven by younger drivers, they have bad accident histories.
That's my .02.
