Sometimes I'll be perusing overseas "for sale" ads and come across a car that stands out a little from the rest. This one kind of did for me. Note it's not mine, I have no affiliation with the seller, and I've never seen the car in person, so everything I know about it I learned from the ad.
It's a 1988 BJ73, left-hand drive, and has the 3B diesel motor and H55 5-speed transmission. Unusual for a Spain-market BJ to have the "normal" 3B instead of the VM (or whatever it was called). The decals on the body seem original, which usually means the paint is also. Certainly looks like it. Interior looks original and pretty nice. Shows 186,000km, or about 116,000 miles. Barely broken in if it's been decently cared for. Seller claims it's a two owner car. It's just south of Barcelona, so maybe you get a great vacation out of the deal, too.
Price is only 10,000 Euro, which is about US$11,000 today, and seems completely reasonable. The dollar is doing well against the Euro these days, so it's a good time to buy. Figure maybe $4-5k all in to get it from seller's driveway to yours in the US.
