Lots of cash for the little offroader, but wow that's almost new.

I paid $800 for this rust free sample that came out of Phoenix (I live in upstate NY). This is a unicorn here but a dime a dozen elsewhere.

Keep looking and keep cash in your sock.

Looks like they accidentally added a 2 to the beginning of the price.

Wow, I wish it was worth that. That would make mine even more valuable than I think it is. It's almost as clean and a tin top.

I just realized I have no clean pictures of it. I might have to correct that tomorrow.

That's how they are meant to look!

Even if they removed that 2 off the front, still too rich for my blood.

Toymanand 914Driver - both of yours are very cool! I've always liked them - When I was a kid, my mom worked with a woman who had a Barbie pink one. A horrendous color, but a neat little vehicle.

I had one for a while. Not good on road but great off road.

Absurd pricing, but cool little truck. I loved my little Samurai and it's one of the few cars I miss, but I sold it for $1100 rust free and wouldn't pay a whole lot more for one nowadays. Maybe $2k if it was nice. I might be off base though.

As I recall, they were $5995 new. I wanted one very badly until I drove one.

Down here, a decent one, on large tires, with gears and suspension work done, will run you $3500-$5000. Throw in a engine upgrade and they can be a $6000+ machine. I traded a 20' enclosed trailer for mine. The trailer was worth about $3500. I could probably sell it for $5000-$6000 as it sits with spare 3rds and spare transfer case. Keep in mind, mine has 0 rust and isn't bent anywhere. Those are getting hard to find. There are always $500 hacked up ones out there too, but they usually look it.

That one is pretty, but it's not worth $26k. At least not to me.

There are 15 of them for sale in SC at the moment. Prices range from $6000 for this one,

To $1500 for this one. It's pretty hacked up. If I had a spare grand, I'd make an offer on it just because it's a tin top.

I shouldn't have started looking.

That's a little more realistic.
