If the mileage reflects overall condition, then it's WAY more than worth it.

:drool: If the truck has no major malfunctions, buy it. Most of the guys on here would jump at the chance to get a 92 with super low miles. WHEN you do BUY it, post some pics so we can see this great find. :cheers:

Buy it 92`s are quite rare I would love to have one!

I would be VERY cautious of the cancer on that one. The drivetrain may be great, but that one was ABUSED to be in a dry climate (TX) and have that much rust.

At the rate used car dealers sell and swap rides, it is probably a legitimate deal.

 

When I was MJ shopping, I stupidly payed that much for my 92 with 185K miles, 3 accidents on record, no rear bumper, and a power steering hose that leaked like a sieve. When I brought it home and inspected, I found the body was rotted as all get out. Oh well!

 

I think my truck is more rotted than that one. If the mileage checks out, I would go for it. Its not a stellar deal, but not terrible either.

[mkbruin]

Here in CO, that's a $2k truck based on the cancer. It would be $1k, but you are buying a low milage 4.0

I wouldnt go for it but maybe then I'm playing devil's advocate :dunno: I understand that fighting rust is one of the hardest things I have ever done with my truck. Down here in FL you would be lucky to sell that truck for $800 let a loan almost 3k :eek: I think you can do better then that. Unless of course its a real 92 then you should go with it :yes: In the end it is your decision

so i'm not going to get involved too much on the jeep side. i think 3k for that much rust and the almost impossible ability to stop rust without major sheetmetal replacement, would make me a little shy of it.

 

but to my more interesting question, tell me about you're audi. i can't make out the pic in you call name to well other than it looks like a nice audi sport paint job. so what is it? is it you're car? i'm a hage audi man and am currently restoring my audi i have had since '88.

just curious. i like to meet audi people. :wavey:

[ComancheAssault]

Thanks guys for all your infos. I will take note of them and bring in a friend mechanic to see the Jeep itself.

On my avatar, its not my car, its a Touring version of the 200 whereas I drive a beatup white Audi 200 which is actually my first car when I got to College. I like the Touring Version though, I'm aspiring to get that paint job someday so I can get some respectability for my Audi 200.

 

Nice, you have an 88. Would love to see pics of it once fully restored. Where mine is not forum worthy yet.

[mkbruin]

If you don't mind work, its a decent Jeep...

 

But its going to need a cage and some boatsides.

 

As I said above, I wouldn't pay more than $2k for it. All you are really buying is a low-milage powertrain.

i bought mine in '88 but it's actually an 84 coupe gt. it's got a great story behind it starting with it being a german car brought across to the states. the paperwork and story are pretty cool. i'm a big audi nut. i may get an audi symbol tattoo.
