Hey all,

Just had this vehicle inspected and it looks okay. According to the report the AHC was not working, it also has not had the 90k mile service. Attached are pictures. I'm not so worried about the ride adjustment not working because I would eventually swap that out anyway; rust is my main concern. The seller is asking 17k, was looking for any advice on whether or not to run away or to counter.

Id rather buy something from the south or west coast on Ebay sight unseen and have it shipped than buy that truck. Screams im (litterally) trying to cover something up.......and that something appears to be horrific rust. Even if I was going to buy something rusty I would atleast want to be able to SEE how bad it is. No dice on that rig, run away!

I’d be at $1500 And that would be a stretch. I would only buy it for parts. It is probably dangerous to drive a vehicle in that condition.

Complete ignorance on parts rigs, but really only worth $1,500. Would have thought the engine alone would be worth that much with under 100k miles.

Hard pass. Rust bucket. Not worth half of that asking price. Glad though asked!

A lot of people here saying to run fast. Just curious if everyone saying to run has experience with rusty 100s? If so, what exactly were the negatives?

It seems people have been driving rusty vehicles forever and rust is not a big deal assuming things aren’t falling apart under there. Eventually things will fall apart but that can take many years?

Genuinely curious. Here in PNW there is almost zero rust on cars.

My thoughts are you can buy a rusty vehicle drive 5 years and not even know it had a rusty underside unless a mechanic says something. What do you anticipate happening to this LC in the next 5 years that are caused by rust?

Rust is blown out of proportion on this forum, i've seen trucks come into my shop flaking and literally falling apart yet when i test drove it, it drove fine. The rig in this ad might be rusty but i don't see any holes in the frames so it'll be good for awhile. Price is too high tho at that condition.

On you with that but how do you know the motor is running strong - sight unseen?

You dont......but Id rather take my chances with a motor thats known to be a "Million mile motor" than a frame replacement /rust repair/full repaint. I can turn wrenches......I have no clue how to do body work.

If the seller is really serious a pre purchase inspection but an indy shop or the dealer shouldnt be a big deal for the mechanicals.
