Lets be honest. The auction validated this vehicles true value. Whether it be a Earthcruiser or another one, theses vehicles have a huge list of parts. Try making a spreadsheet to buy each and every part that goes into one. I know I have over a two year period.
For those of you that have a hope for something cheaper, "it is not reality". Unless you start with a $30K platform. And if that is the choice, a huge list of compromises follow.
We could list the platforms in the 30k range, the 40k range, the 50k range, the 60k range and the 70k range.
Until you get to 80k-90K range the question must arise. Am I willing to spend about $120K more on this vehicle to finish it?
Don't expect nice rigs like this one that sold to sell for a rock bottom price.
