Edit below. Looked at too many cars this morning. The 80 below was 200k miles not 75k.
So I think I want to get a dedicated trail rig based on an 80. On one hand, I think buying one already built might be the best value. I found on in TX somewhat
built with new wheels and tires for $13K but needs lockers and skids. 300k miles. Hard for me to justify much more for something that will be a dedicated toy and I know it will end up being a money pit as I won’t be able to stop myself from mods, like adding lockers and I’ll end up being 20K or more into it.
Or I found another 1994 closer with only 200k for $5400. Stock and beat up but runs. I’ll end up putting $10k into it and the time doing it.
My thought is that a $5400 80 with 200k miles is probably a decent deal for a platform to build a trail rig. Not sure I’m ready to pull that trigger yet though.
If it realistic thinking I’m going to find a built locked, lifted 80 trail rig under 10-15k?
Thoughts?
