My duckduckgo FOO is not working and i have no luck with the normal companies sites . . .
SO
Of the groups I am part of this group seems the broadest in scope of knowledge . . . and I kinda need some help
It is a 1989 Bronco II, 6 cyl, manual, 4wd, NO rust ( from out west) 300K miles,engine rebuilt at 170K. trans rebuilt also.
I was talking to him and he said his daughter told him that it was only worth 2,000 bucks . . . she drives a Lexus and thinks being out on a golf course is out in the boon docks.
I told him I think she is wrong, but not too sure how wrong.
This is NOT for sale, I am just wanting a knowledgeable guess as to price. Maybe I eat crow, but hoping to tell her to stick to accounting . . . NO matter how high of a level!

Slightly less than a 1979 mustang II and slightly more than a 1976 pinto with a blown motor.

I agree with this pricing. Anyone crazy enough to buy a worn out 35 year old vehicle is crazy enough to spend a ton of money on it.

I owned an 88 model, it drove well and was reliable over 145k miles. They got a bad rep due to idiots rolling them over, but I'd gladly pay $4k for another one.

I had an 89 Bronco II, nice truck. Had the 2.9 V-6 (the good V-6) and a 5 speed & 4 wd. with lockout hubs. Got really good MPG and handled well with a little taller & wider tires & wheels. What I didn't like was no opening rear windows and rear hatch backglass. Wish I could find another one. I did like my 68 Bronco with the 289 V-8 & 3 speed better.

I had a BroncoII for my then wife and a Ranger 4X4 for me. I bought them together. At 80K miles they both puked the 5 speed transmissions. A rebuilt will do the same. The AT was not a big problem.

I had a 1990 model that was one of the best vehicles I’ve ever had. A neighbor bought it a couple years ago and he is fully restoring it.

How much life is left in this vehicle? Without it turning into a money pit?

I wouldn’t give it a second look. Zero interest in any of the Broncos.
