Re: [MBZ] Thinking About This...

We had a 1982 AMC Eagle which was the perfect vehicle for winters in the high desert of Central Oregon. It was a rare Manny Tranny 5 speed with the relatively gutless 4.2L 258CID in-line 6 cylinder engine. Shortly after we bought it, the rear main seal began to leak profusely with oil leaking

I had an 86 Cherokee with the 2.8L V6. That engine was crap. I think that’s what this car has. That said I drove a rental one from Denver to Medicine Bow WY once back when. It did great on icy snowy roads, very stable. The somewhat pantywaist boss who was riding with me and another colleague

My biggest concern is with how extensive the rust is. If it were closer it would be more inclined to take a chance. It’s 7 hours away and I’m probably looking at $350 or so in fuel to get there and back. And would require me to get out the door here pretty quick to head up there. Sent from my

That’s true. But trying to figure out if this is a good price for a back 40 car. I see one that sold on BAT that was listed as a project for that sold for $3900. It ran though and did not appear to have rust, but the paint was rough and dash was cracked etc, did not have leather had was boring

Re: [MBZ] Thinking about buying this 108 but is it a rusty turd?

The interior is leather and overall the car is in way above average condition. Perhaps seller can email or text a video to prove that it CAN start/run. Possibly a fuel pump, coil, or dirty injectors. Worst case scenario it needs a new drive train but those are easier to find than a decent
