Hi, ive been lurking on the forum for a few months trying to learn a bit about what to look for when buying an 80 series. Ive looked at a couple that were near the top of my price bracket at £5500 but both needed more spending on them so im thining of taking a look at one in Manchester which is listed at £2995 which would leave me with cash left over for any issues.
Its a 1993 with 173K and is currently on Auto trader with Reg number MIL 5379 . The guys says its got some service history and old mots and its only 45 mins from me so I figure its still worth a look even if it turns out to be a dog. It looks to have got some rust around the top tailgate and above the windscreen but I know someone who would be able to sort that out for not too much money so if its not too bad so that wouldnt put me off if the rest of it was ok.
Just wondered what your thoughts are and if anyone knows the truck as it seem to have been for sale for a while.
Thanks
