Enthusiast hate high prices on what they collect...it's a weird phenomenon.

I would say in your area that is probably about what 8k gets you.

I wouldn't pay $8k for that but like you said I have a couple Broncos already so I don't have to.

This. I can't tell how bad the rust. If not too bad, then 8k seems fair in the current market.

The people valuing this at $3500 are low I think. I would by this all day long at 3500 and I can't - cause they are not available for this price.

But I do think you can get better bang for your buck if you have a 20k budget.

If you can stretch your budget to 25k pm me.

Cheers,
Steve

Steve do the right thing for the community brother....and sell that nice bronco to this guy for $5000.

Never thought I would see the day of $25k Broncos but its reality.

Buy from some of the regular long time members of this board. I trust them much more than total strangers.

Unless you have an unlimited budget, I think you would be really disappointed with this truck. Its an absolute rust bucket...thats just the areas you can see. Keep looking, dont be in a hurry...deals are still out there. You can find one out of state, have an inspector look it over and drive it and have one shipped home, one that will have more to start with

Check the frame. Salt around us and if winter driven it will be crusty. I would not buy a MD, NJ, NY, PA car for that reason. Paid 11k for mine and had shipped from Sacramento. Orig paint and no rust thru anywhere. Good luck and be patient. If you have a larger budget, start with a rust free body as mechanicals cheaper than bodywork
