So i ran across a deal on an 89 Bronco. Its just been redone, new motor the works. Guys askin $3500. The problem is, the Bronco, is said to be purple. I havent gone to look at it yet, probably will tomorrow; But if its not a dark purple, im not even gonna consider it. Its suppose to have 55k miles on it, but i think that was from before the new motor. For the price, i've been told its a good deal. But it all depends if i can get the loan.

As you're wondering im sure, the main reason i want to do this is bc my black 4x4 F150 has some issues that are on the borderline of lasting much longer. The stock manifolds are rusted to the point the nuts on the studs are almost non-existent. An the tube going up to the egr has rusted thru already, and makes a audible tick, but my mechanic said its ok to drive still. And the brake lines up by the main block are just as bad. Aside from having 161k, she runs amazing. And i still owe $5600 on her. Which, if i get the Bronco, i'll sell this as is to pay it off and be done with it.


Opinions?

:lol: Purple would be a bit much!

Price doesn't sound too bad if he's done a bunch to it.

I would have too. I may end up passing on it. But still plan on looking at it anyways. I personally can deal with a real dark purple. But it was the guys wifes.. sooo its probably gonna look dumb.

Man if you still owe 5600 on the other one, to me it sounds like 3500 will fix it enough to last.... JMO. :)

An '89 Bronco thats been redone sounds like a Bondo bucket to me. Bring a magnet and check the rear 1/4's and bottom of the tailgate for Bondo.

The odometers go back to 0 after 99,999.9 so it has atleast 155k on the body, if not more.
