buying a Bronco II

So just the other day i saw a beautiful blue truck driving down the street. And me being in love with everything thats a v8, i can tell what pretty much what any truck is from across the parking lot. And me not know what a "bronco" is. crazy. So i looked it up and now im in love with another truck. but i dont know to much about them specifically. so thats why i came here!
Im looking at this one here:
(NICE) BRONCO 2 4X4
but what worries me is that its only $1200?
so what do you guys think and is there anything i should be looking out for?

he already said itll be needing a new starts. which is 80 bucks..but kinda easy to put in.
but just so everyone knows haha im a 17 years old about to be a junior in high school and this will be what im driving daily to and from school, so mudding and stuff isnt too high on my list for 3/4 of the year. but in the summer i know some good places ..well maybe a little fun in the snow, but that isnt as much fun right


what about this one? - i know its a full size bronco -
1993 Ford Bronco Eddie Bauer edition
what the eddie bauer edition, i couldnt find anything on wiki?

That price is about right on a 1984 Bronco II and 84/85 are considered desirable because they are carb. and can quickly be swapped over to Duraspark II (no computer).

I would have to question why anyone would put camo tape over a whole vehicle, coupled with the "no rust" claim.

Crawl under the vehicle and look for the seams under the pass. and driver's floor for bad splitting and worse, rust.

Then look under the rear seat and then look at the very end of the body.

Then look at the body mounts where they mount to the rubber. If no serious issues then it is worth the $1200.

Gas prices are going up, I would stick with the vehicle that gets 21 mpg.

I'm 18 and i daily drive a '72 Toyota FJ40, lifted with spring over axle and 35" tires. all depends on how far you have to drive i guess... i drove 2 miles to my high school so it was real easy.

If you like it, and if it's in good condition, get it. You gotta make your car YOUR CAR. Don't go for waht everyone else has.

If you look closely at the door jam, it has "camo" overspray, it is a paint job, not a tape job. I too like the B2s. If I did not already own too many rigs I would get one.
