Found one but....

Hey, I found a bronco here:

http://autotrader.com/findacar/vdeta...ar=1983&color=

but my mom says since I dont have a license yet, I can't get it EVEN if i can come up with the money. I really want this because it has a 5 spd that I just haven't found any of in Minnesota. It is in pretty good condition with a few minor probs...mostly electrical(window, radio) and has a little rust on the rear quarter panels, but the tailgate and rocker panels are mint. It also doesn't have the push button 4x4 which seems like a plus. Am I just crazy or is it going to be really hard to come by another good deal on a manual tranny bronco?

I dont know about how hard it will be to find another Manual. But that does seem like a good deal. Only 100K and its at just under $1800! That is nice! I paid alot more for my '89 and it has more problems than what you described. and with it being so cheap you can afford a new paint job! ha ha ha

My recomendations though... Give it a GOOD looking over! I mean get on your back and reallly check the thing out. DONT GET EXCITED! if you do you will overlook all the major stuff and talk yourself into buying a lemon...

Happy hunting! if you dont get that one!

Well, I don't think it will work out, and to tell you the truth, I had never even SAT in a bronco before so this was quite a thrill, and I was VERY excited. I looked under, it seemed to have normal MN rust, but not too much. The engine had virtually no rust, but a cracked hose that i would definately take a look at. And my granpa said the oil was very dirty. I am just so mad that my mom didn't even give me the opportunity to buy it if it is inspected and if dont loan, just use my own money. I hope I find another deal this summer when they will let me look at least, but it sounds like it won't work.
