looking for 80 in NC

[btcox]

I've been looking for an 80 locked with leather for around 8500, I cant seem to find one that isn't torn up or mistreated.. I will be using it for a daily driver as well as a weekend wheeler.. If anyone knows of one that has a decent interior and has been taken care of in nc or close, please let me know.. I have been looking for about 4 months and i dont know what elese to do.. I am willing to travel for the right rig. I'm in Charlotte. Thanks everyone; hopefully somebody will know of one so that I can have a cruiser soon.

Good luck with your search. As I've mentioned, the CLT market isn't going to have a late model, good condition 80 with lockers for that price. Maybe in a year or two. FWIW, I have looked weekly for years.

Time and patience are the key, it took me well over a year to find my last 80. You may want to open your search to the LX450 as well.

I also mentioned looking at some of the smaller markets outside of Charlotte. You are more likely to find a match there IMO.

Some close examples w/lockers:

Throw in another 5 grand and you can have this one. Looks awesome, and it has had major items that would be potential problems fixed already. Don't know him but you may want to consider spending a little more for a rig you know has been treated right (per PO). Plus it has a lot of additions that have been done right. That is if your into that sort of thing.

I would love to throw in an extra 5 grand... but I dont have it, i finish college in December and I don't have 5gs to throw around... That rig is awesome and I would love to have it; just not realistic for me right now... I eventually want the rig I find to look that good..

I sent you a PM on a guy selling an 80 for 8400.

You may want to give this guy a call. I don't see the diff lock switch though. He has been trying to sell this one for a while and may be flexable on the price. No affiliation just a heads up.

So what kind of mileage does your bird get?

in asheville NC....... https://forum.ih8mud.com/showthread.php?t=180468&highlight=Asheville
might go for 7500.

I don't believe you are going to find one in the condition you want, with features and mileage you want, for that price.

IMHO you are going to have to compromise. You may find one with +150k or 200k miles, lockers, and a "worn" interior for your price. Or no lockers but in good condition for that price.

Or, if you're super-patient, I suppose the right one will come along at some point.

Good luck!

patience is the key, it is possible. sorry i missed the locked part, asheville rig is open/open.
