At first, I would say yes - because a truck from AZ could be a real rust-free gem. Then I looked at the photos and saw the home-made rear cross member and the missing door tops. Those things make me think that further investigation is needed.

O, you need to go see it. But its not bad for the price, he might let it go for $800 less than he is asking for.

But yeah, the rear cross member is a serious "o crap" flag to me too.

I don't think it's worth more than 500 bucks, but I always tend to think that they are worth much less than the asking price. Bum tranny - out of the truck, suspect rear frame, who knows what else.

The Gunny is right, you can NEVER tell just by looking at pictures. You have to go see them. It's part off the fun anyway. Just don't be so quick to offer cash.

Good Luck.

Id be glad to buy all of the 500 dollar rovers you can find in comperable shape. :)

You actually can, you just have to know what you are looking for/at. Ive probably bought 4 or 5 dozen sight unseen. Never been disappointed. Ask the right questions, and pay no more than its worth in the worst case scenario. . .
