Looking for a Bronco II
I have looked at several II's. An 1989 4x4 and a 1988 2wd. Is there anything in particular to look for. Both were well over 100K. $2500 price range. Both oddly had power steering leaks. Looked like a hose or the pump was leaking.
The 2wd steering was loose. I think maybe a bad pitman or idler arm. I am really don't care one way or the other for 2 or 4wd. Seems 2wd would be less to go wrong. Both were XLT models with all power options. The 2wd model had a new auto trans. And the 4wd was a 5 speed. Both were rust free. I am leaning torward the 2wd model as it's a 2 owner with 135K. It needs some clean up a tail pipe and the leaking power steering fixed and maybe a few front end parts replaced. Is $2500 to much. The guy is asking $2800 he is trying to recoop the $1400 in recent repairs.
