how is it mechanically? If it runs good I would go for it and fix the body up over time. Better to be in a rusty eb than a j**p. Log in and try the chat room. There will probably be some people in there in a little bit.

For 2500.00 I would buy any Bronco that was able to drive on the road, safely...If it runs good, and no major holes anywhere, I'd buy it...Make sure everything works, like all turn signals, lights, ect. The wiring can be a nightmare to fix, unless you put in a new kit...Also, look for leaks...Small leaks are common, but if you burn a quart of oil a week, look somewhere else...Next, become a member to this site... ;D ;D ;D

Thats how much I got for mine (3200) and i got ripped a new one. I wish I would have had the hindsight to see that. I wish I could have thought of offering him 2500, but I thought, I dont want to piss this guy off. He's great for getting me such a good deal. In reality mine was only worth 2000 but I know better and I love my bronco anyway.

Watch the rust in the floor boards and the door posts. Also watch the rust begond the rear fenderwells. Otherwise I would say if it is mechanically in good shape go for it. $2500 is pretty cheap in the Bay Area, I've seen rust holes with bad rings and no syncros sell for $4500.
