Monteros on craigslist

What could be wrong with this one? It can't just be bad Walmart gas, right? Stickers on rear window say owner is a mobile mechanic, and still has no clue what's wrong.

this one could be good purchase , but engine bay doesn't look good, it appears to be rust. I TXT the seller, no service record .

Are there more than 2 people in the country outside this site that have records on their 20 year old suvs?

Hard to believe, but when I bought my "old" '92 a couple years back it had an owners manual packet stuffed with maintenance receipts from day 1 up to the 104K that I bought it at. Didn't expect to get all that history over a 21 year span.

Pretty unusual for any records on a multi owner used car.

Looks good!

Looks good!

Mismatched front bumper could be the result of a minor collision up to and/or including rebuilt title. Not saying that is necessarily a bad thing but...I'd be curious about the flat black front bumper.

Because unreasonable expectations for an 18 year old $1800 truck with 235k miles.

He won't have records, he got it from his buddy.

I jeep-N-montero is more saying for timing belt front motor service. Valid concern, but for something this cheap, i'd just plan on baselining the truck first thing anyways. I have a local buddy trying to get ahold of the seller to look at that one for me. Will post what i find out if he can take a look at it.

I'm adventurous, so if i buy it, the first thing i will do is drive it 2000 miles.

Well I was already assuming that it would need at least a little going over, I figured that was assumed on nearly all of these things...

Looks good!

I'm thinking about selling my '98. 110 miles a day commute is tough on gas.

Dude, keep it and buy a Civic or other commuter car.

 

[Swank Force One]

I would also be interested in that.

 

[Eric M]

Yea, keep it. You'll sell it, want it back, and then never find another that's not destined for the scrap yard.

 

[KyleT]

No snorkel. I have the 06 to tide me over.

Will get some pics my next day off.

210k, timing bet done by PO who was a member here too. Cold weather, tcase shifter replaced with the older style one too.

I love it but can't justify an extra car. It would have to be sold.
