Last year I was looking at a Bronco from a CL ad on the other coast. After talking with the owner on the phone, everything sounded pretty good but I can be a perpetual skeptic. I paid a 4x4 shop local to the seller for an hours time with a mechanic familiar with Broncos and asked the seller to drop it off with them for the afternoon. When the mechanic called, he had all sorts of things to tell me about that the seller either forgot to mention or wasn't mechanically savvy enough to know. Long story short, the $60 credit card charge to the shop saved me thousands.
