Hello Everyone!
It has been about five years since I was last in the 80 lifestyle with my beat up and busted '97 and it has recently come to my attention that a family member of mine is selling his 40th on it and would like me to buy it if I can. First let me start with asking price and details: Sage '97 40th w/237k miles on it (mine had 160k). Not off roaded travel/family vehicle with lots of maintenance and recent work, OME 2.5 w/ARB front bumper, NO LOCKERS, lived in WA/GA its entire life (no rust), recent interior recover (doesn't seem the best though tbh), and newer tasteful audio upgrade. Only current issue present is inoperable A/C that two shops have said is the control unit? (I personally haven't heard of this issue with an 80)
His family is no stranger to high mileage 80s and he is only looking to get rid of this for something more practical (travels and has seven kids). He will sell it to me for $6k and my initial thought is that's a pretty darn good deal, I wasn't currently looking to buy a vehicle now per se but who knows when I'd have this opportunity again. I know these are starting to appreciate in value but this one being sans lockers does that severely hurt the value. What do you guys think?
