I was in the same place. Couldn't justify the cost of a 4 wheeler that I use mere hours a year but wanted something for hunting. Looked at a Sami and the solid axle and 1.3 engine left a LOT to be desired. Found a 2dr soft top 4x4 '95 Tracker for $3k with 125k on it. There was no comparison in ride or power to the Sami. Good thing too since in a weird twist, since it got 30mpg (a 'little' better than my Avlanche
) it wound up being my daily commuter until a few months ago. I sold with 50k more on it after owning it for 7 years for the same money I paid for it. Zero complaints.
