Hey guys, still searching for a new bronco and yall have saved me from making bad purchases before (much appreciated!!).

Just wanted to get your thoughts on this potential buy?...

Nice looking, but: Why is the underside all one color as in it looks like everything hjs been spray painted dark grey/flat black even the mufflers and pipes?

Leading edge technology except forgot to add fuel injection.

You need to see under the carpet to know if there is rust, and you need more detailed shots of 1/4 panel joints up under body and other places.

You really need to see this in person.

If everything pans out, my experience shows this quality goes for $15,000-25,000. If it turns out the underside was frame off blasted and painted in hi heat ceramic from crushed unicorn horns, then $34,000 is fair.

I agree with 73az - it also looks like the seller is starting to flip these. Nothing wrong with that but know that a $34,000 bronco should really be a full frame off with much better upgrades than this one.

This looks like a $10,000 bronco that he put $5,000 and his time into and is now trying to double his investment. Just my opinion. Its very nice, just not crushed-unicorn $34,000 nice.

I would not go 34k on ebay. If you have that kind of coin to spend on an EB, you might want to talk to Nick on here, he does restorations and is well know for producing some of the best broncos. I don't know for sure but I think he runs a little north of that price tag, but I don't think it is that far off. You would be getting a far better truck for that kind of coin. Don't do 34k on ebay, you will regret it. As well the steering angle looks a little steep

...and what is this 'urban gear designed' reference all about?

The "urban gear" grill looks a lot like unistrut to me... ?:?

And the front bumper looks like a rear bumper...actually it is: http://www.quadratec.com/products/12057_23X2_PG.htm

That rear bumper carrier scares me too.

My advice is don't ever buy a vehicle without having seen it in person unless you are completely willing to deal with any surprises that cannot be seen in pictures or rooted out in questions to the seller. Take a lesson from the Alabama fiasco.

I looked at many, many different 4x4's that all looked OK in the pictures...but when I got there.....rust bucket, damage, rats nest for wiring, won't run good, etc. Don't be in a hurry and end up with a POS. My opinion.

There are 2 Broncos on the LA Craiglist site that if I did not own one already I would go look at. One is a half-cab in S. LA (I know!) and the other is a wagon in Glendale. I believe both are under $10K and have been relisted several times. You could at least go see those in person and then know what you are up against.

And I don't mean to be insulting...but, if I have the time, I would be willing to check out a Bronco or two with you if you want. Send me a PM if you want.

Don't buy off Ebay- Craigslist is way better and there are shit tons of Broncos in LA and OC.

 

[G's Baja Bronco]

wow, that is a lot of money, it looks clean from the pics, the rear bumper is stock and the tire carrier I would not trust with a 35" tire. looks like they steam cleaned the bottom and painted it. I would have to drive it, have an expert looks at it, check for rust, analyze all fluids, and still I would not pay 34k, 20 sounds more reasonable!

 

[hyghlndr]

I sold a similar but nicer one with full cage, ac, 4k stereo for half of that.

On to the next one..
