I have a chance to check out and possibly purchase a 1997 40th Anniversary Cruiser. I have an 87 but ten years is a lot different. The asking price is $6900. The details are thin right now but can you all give me an idea of what i should be looking for with regards to issues of this particular model and a range of prices based off condition and mileage. From the pics it looks to be in great shape and I think the mileage ~ 160k. But we all know pics don't tell the full story. It is about an hour away so I plan to go look but wanted to be as prepared as possible. Thanks!

Where are you located? That is a big price determination.

personally I'd pay that all day long for a clean southern truck with good PM history. Especially if locked.
Well it's not in the rust belt so that's good! Though i'd watch out for flood damage in LA. Major things to check would be birfs, head gasket, transmission and compression.

The front axles...on each side where the clean metal turns....all greasy then it's going to need a rebuild.
For a locked 97 with 160k?! How is that steep, what did you pay?
I never said it was steep. If it was in the rust belt then I would have said way too much $.
Oh, I gotcha.
