Default To trade or not to trade?

With recent events and losing my job, I have had to think about keeping my A4. I was looking at jeep cherokee 4x4 xj's (99-01 good condition). The reason is I still need something for northern michigan driving and I used to own one. Parts are by the thousands and I think I would have a better chance keeping that fixed instead of the Audi in case something happened. I also am not driving 110 miles a day anymore so the cut in gas is ok since the college is only 10 minutes away for my schooling. Sound stupid or should I just take it easy and see what happens? Someone might be interested in trading there 01 xj (excellent) condition straight up. Love the Audi, but without a decent income, I just don't think it will work since I know how our cars can be .

You have the 2.8 which should be more reliable than the turbo.

Like achTTung said, how's the car so far? Any issues with it?

Well...I've had it since Feb. Bought it with 96k and now have 119k now. I have had to address some minor stuff. Exhaust, stalling and normal wear items T-belt kit was done at 86k miles. I have a very minor oil leak and it's coming from the valve gasket/pcv system. It's in really good shape as of now . It almost looks like a B6 now with the mods I guess . Anyhow, I guess I'm not putting the miles on like I did so....But like stated above something "could" crap out and......, then I would be shise out of luck.
