I'm a 17 year old highschool student looking to buy his first car! I have two options.

The first option is a 2000 Jeep Wrangler Sport with 203,000 miles on it and is priced at $5500.

The second option is a 1998 Toyota 2 door sport utility Rav4 with 98,000 miles on it and priced at $5000.

Both are in fairly good condition.Down the road which car will last me the longest, which one will give me the least trouble, and which one is the safest. My immediate opinion is the Rav4 but i've been told otherwise by my dad and friends. I need more opinions! Which should I go with? Thank You!

the jeep has way too many miles and is overpriced.

the rav 4 is a better choice and is more reliable.
