Reece146 , I do agree with you. I will not pay more than 6 000 euros, and I will wait for the seller the time he will need to give in. He seems not in a hurry for now, but when I compare with Cherokee , in very good condition and low mileage the price is less than half. I do like this very rustic truck but I can't waste money too muchand too often ! I think that I'm the only interested person... I think that patience will be worthwhile Biotex, you have very funny translation skills ! Great !

Thank you very much for your responses that recommand clearly to purchase this car ! It's not that surprising since you are all big fans of this truck, but if your are there are certainly reasons for that ! Special thanks to those who replied in french ... and also for nice comments about my english... I don't use online translator! I will have now to discuss with the vendor, since he wants a lot of money for it : more than 11 000 $ . He thinks it's justified by the low mileage of the truck, and its very good condition. I think this is really expensive, but if I compare with other second-hand pick-up trucks I can see, it's cheaper than japanese one, with a lot of kilometers... First, I have to see the truck and drive it to make up my mind and propose a price. In France fuel is a little bit "cheaper" than gasoline : average gasoline price is 1.65 euros / liter (i.e 2.21 USD per liter, 8.36 USD/ galon ) when average price for fuel is 1.45 euros / liter (i.e 1.95 USD per liter, 7.38 USD / galon). The advantage when the truck is used for professional activities (it will be the case for me) you can discount 20% VAT from fuel price. In the past, difference was more important, that's why french car providers developed a lot of diesel engines and something like 70% of personal cars and 100% of professional vehicules are equipped with diesel engines in France. It explains also the smell of the air in big towns ! This is the link to the advertisement , with pics : http://www.leboncoin.fr/voitures/435691362.htm?ca=22_s Many thanks, I keep you informed

Hello everybody, I'm living in France, in the Alps, close to Switzerland. I post today in this forum, despite my poor english, to ask you specialists a very basic question about your favorite car : I have the oppotunity to buy a 1992 Comanche, 4x4, with the Renault diesel engine, (2.1L Turbo). This car seems close to a brand new one, and have only 20 000 kilometers. This vehicule is very uncommon in France,where we can see, sometimes, some Jeep cars , mainly Wranglers, or Cherokees. But little trucks ( we call it in french "pick-up") are very few, most of them are japanese (Toyota/ Nissan). Before purchasing this very appealing car, I would like to reassure myself about reliabilty, easiness to fix common troubles, and if possible, know what are the most common breakdowns and problem you faced with your Jeep Comanche. What should I check prior to buy it? Thank you in advance for your advice.
