Hi, new to forum and need some help...
I've always loved the 94-97 style lc's and am in a situation now where I need to find a auto for myself thats under $8k
What I'd be using it for mostly is to travel to and from work daily, the occassional family weekend camping trip, family bike/ski outings which would equal approx 300 miles a week.
Then this would probably end up being our vacation ride for the 1-2 beach trips a year, 1200 mile week outings.
I've found a few lc's in my area 94-97, 150-180k miles, $6-9k, one of most interest is a 94, with 150k miles for $6k.
While I know these are dependable machines, is this the right choice for what I need it for? I've read some sale listings talking about recent head work, etc but with 250k+ miles, what should I be on the lookout for and what should I be prepared to spend to keep one in top running condition, obvious concerns of mine would be motor, trans, diff's problems, I can live with minor elet/interior problems, what I don't want is something in need of constant repair, I can see keeping this for a long time as a snow/play auto after it's not being used daily.
I've read the info on steeloffroad which did answer some questions but am still looking for info from others who have been in the same situation, thanks.
