Hi all,
Just trying to get some real world opinions on my current situation. Like many others I’ve been waiting and saving for quite a while to get my first 80 series, and as of yet the “right” one hasn’t come along. I’ve been holding out for the later model years, in decent shape, and not outrageously priced, which is probably why I’m still waiting.
I have the opportunity to trade for a 91 that looks pretty clean, no rust, well taken care of, but it does have 320k on it which scares me. Going this route with a trade, I’d essentially have most of my saved up budget remaining for maintenance and building it out pretty well. If I hold out for the newer years, I won’t have a ton of funds leftover for any fun mods and it would have to remain somewhat stock for a bit, but would have the newer motor, “creature comforts”, etc.
My question to the hive mind is: in your experience, would you rather get into a 91 with the older motor, but have plenty of funds for doing it up right, or would you hold out for the newer years and just put some of that fun stuff on hold for a bit?
Thanks!
