There's a local guy with a 93 or so full-size Bronco for sale. From what I can see, there is ZERO rust on it. He was originally asking $1200 for it. Then it went down to $850. Now it's down to $550.
It's four wheel drive, too... Remember, I live in snow country. There is obviously something wrong with it, but damn, for $550, it could be a steal. I already bought one project car, but should I go for the Bronco, too?

Buy it. Since you live in Rhode Island(I think) your gonna love owning it when the snow gets to 6+ inches. Plus it probably has a tow hitch so you can tow cars if you need to. The price keeps dropping on it because the owner is probably desperate to get rid of it.

Well, I already have an Audi w/ quattro, so the snow isn't too big of a deal, but yeah, the towing capability would be nice to have. I'm figuring the tranny or engine is shot.

If it wasn't a 93 I'd say go for it. But the Bronco went downhill around that time.
And its probably got electrical gremlins that make it not worth the time. Thats generally why the price drops like that.
"So, whats wrong with it?"
"Well it (insert weird thing here)."
"Wow... fuck that."

find out what engine it has in it if it is the 5 liter run don't walk from it.if it is the 351 or 5.7 liter go for it.also look behind the doors near the top of the truck. if there are rust holes or torn metal you know it had been beat up pretty hard off road. the bodys have a lot of flex to them since they are built on the shortbed truck chasis. it can be hard to close the hood when the truck is sitting at an angle on a trail.they all leak oil figure a quart every 1500 miles or so.

Funny you said that, my friend has a 93' in Jersey with a fucked up transfer case that is just sitting in his driveway right now. I was thinking about getting it off of him for like 200 bucks and fixing it up. Those trucks are absolute beasts. A little tough to hold on to when you're on the highway, and they take up the entire lane, but fun nonetheless.
