I'm looking at a 1996 80 series that has 34,000 miles on it that I'm told is in mint condition. Has lockers as well. What is the most a person should pay for it given the fact that I'm guessing it will probably run another 100,000 miles before any significant money will need to be spent in repairs? Before anyone chimes in with "whatever the market will bring or whatever a person is willing to pay", I'm asking for opinions of what people here would pay for it if in the market for one? I know book is roughly $17,200 according to my bank, but they aren't always realistic with enthusiast vehicles.
For the technical questions:
At what mileage can a person expect to begin seeing significant/major parts failures?
What parts have others seen fail first, and what are the warning signs?
What, if any issues, should I look for in a 10 year old 80 with 34,000 miles?
Would an 80 with higher miles be a better option for less money? We plan on keeping it for the next 10 years at 10,000 miles/yr. mileage accumulation.
Thanks in advance for your replies.
