After looking at a bunch more heaps on Saturday (and a nice RX7), I found a couple of vehicles that might actually consider opening the wallet for. Both are at small used car dealers - I don't like buying cheap vehicles from dealers, but in this case the prices seem fairly realistic. Well, before fees and sales tax...
First candidate is a late 70s Blazer, I think it's been repainted (looks way too clean) and according to the ad, it's got a new motor and interior. I've seen it in the flesh but haven't driven it yet. Which is probably a good thing because I still have my hearing (it's got cherry bombs fitted). This one's got a roll bar fitted inside at the tail gate - looks not very original to me but probably sensible.
Second candidate is an extremely clean '93 Full Size Bronco, 135k on it w/ 351. That one is so clean you'd swear it's got 10k on it and sat it some old dear's garage all it's life. Which it probably did as it doesn't suffer from burnt paint that is so common around here. All original from what I could see.
We did like the Blazer as it's got the removable top, obviously the Bronco's top isn't removable as it's one that's got proper rear seat belts on it and they mount to the inside of the roof. OTOH the Bronco is extremely nice and clean.
Both are autotragics so the wife would be able to drive them, too.
Any comments on either truck's merits?
. Probably gives me a little less room to haggle - didn't someone around here mention that the down payment is usually what they have in the car and the rest is pure profit?
