Prefer to stay with 94 or 95 since 96 & newer must meet emissions standards in St. Louis, MO. CEL & ABS lights on = instant fail on test for 96+ rigs, so I'd rather avoid it all together.

Lockers would be a bonus, working heat & a/c required. Ideally would have less than 200K on the odo, but not required.

The plan is for this to be a daily driver when the weather is bad or when I need more room than my pickup has since I've got a baby on the way. It will also be my "gateway" into some light off-roading (think established trails / powerline cuts, no plans for crawling or trail blazing) with the possibility of it becoming a full-time offroad toy sometime down the road.

I've learned allot from this site about the LC's & past experience in other endeavors has taught me that buying the best (or at least the best you can afford) is usually the way to go, so it seems like a Cruiser is the right fit for me. Poor fuel economy isn't really a concern since I work close to home.

Keeping tabs on this forum, craigslist, & cars.com within 1K miles of me is swiftly becoming a full-time job. I've already missed out on one because someone got there with cash before I could.:meh: I just though it might make sense to put a feeler out on here just in case.

Dealerships - Is it just me or does it seem like they take the "individual seller" price from a similar truck & just add $2K to it? :rolleyes:

Thanks

I swear when I started looking at Cruisers back in July it was as if they were falling from the sky on CL & Autotrader, & for around $5-6K. Do LC sales (& prices) always fluctuate so heavily with the seasons? :confused:
 
always cruiser for sale, rarely nice ones.

With the seasons and with fuel prices. I am looking for an 80 too but may end up with a 100 series. Hope I don't have to wait till spring / summer or when fuel prices hit $4.00 to find a good Cruiser at a fair price. Good luck on your search. Good 80's are still out there.

What's your budget? I'd ask $9500 for my locked '94 with 116k miles.

$8K is about my max. Plus there will likely be significant travel expenses to bring it home, since most nice ones I've found tend to be pretty far away from me.

you realize there is no difference between a 93 and a 94?

That is my understanding, but what I really want is an 95. If a good deal comes along on a 93 or 94 I may take it, but I'd really like to get a 95 since its the newest I can go & not have to deal with emissions B.S.
