Remember, Mazda had weird issue with 99% Invisible, too.

Eh, in the late 70's my parents had to buy a car in a hurry since their Renault had been totaled and they need a new one ASAP for the summer holidays.

My neighbor owns one of these. He is a disbarred real estate attorney who swindled his clients’ money, has a house that is constantly in foreclosure, and leaves to buy booze right before the stores close at 8:45 every night, and often comes home stumbling drunk.

We better make sure we stop all those foreign made cars from driving down American streets!!

I was itching to bid on the G4 example currently on BaT, but comments like these made me hold off. These things sound downright scary.

As an RRC owner, I hope so too.

Early Discos are actually pretty stout mechanically and even electrically. But they don’t like road salt AT ALL. I lucked out and found a one-owner stickshift ‘95 that spent its entire life in San Diego. Fantastic truck, and I paid a fairly silly price to have it. Disco IIs have a LOT more issues, but don’t rust as…

Just finding one that has the original engine will be an adventure in itself!

Be patient, they’re bound to catch up to my ‘93 Cherokee ( <150K miles, One Family Owned! 2 Solid-ish Axles! AC Blows...)

My mechanic hates working on those, and he’s a Jaguar specialist.

I think you’re about to hit rock bottom. They are going for $3500-$5k right now, and they can only start back up. At a certain point, people will start buying these and putting in new wiring harnesses that don’t suck. They are relatively easy to work on, and modify, so there’s a market there, in time.

I was following this thing way too closely.

At the rate those things get scrapped, it won’t be long before there are only a few left in the wild.

I’ve read they have awards for that now though, so win/win right?

Came here to say more or less this.

Mines a 80 series, with any luck our camping situation will look just like this. Last year I took the GX470, but since thats my wifes daily and I want to keep in nice and still runs some trails the 80 is drafted back into towing duty.

“Cooperative federalism doesn’t mean that one state can dictate standards for the rest of the country,” Pruitt said.

That’s indeed the most positive way to spin this dumpster-fire of a presidency.

An alternate perspective in the interest of sanity:

Cue the deniers.
