Hi guys. I'm new here but I owned and 86 Bronco II years ago and loved it. I sold it and now I wish I had another but I need a truck so that's that.
Anyway, I have a chance to buy an 88 Bronco II with the 2.9, auto trans, push button 4wd, original paint in excellent condition, and around 95k miles. The problem is the oil pump went out on the original owner and it has been sitting under a carport for five years. According to the owner nothing else is wrong he just didn't know how to replace the oil pump. I won't be keeping the Bronco but I can get it for around $500 and figure I will need to spend around $350-$400 on it to get it going again and tuned up. I was hoping to sell it for around $1500 with winter on its way. My question is would you guys take the risk that there's more wrong with the truck or just buy it and start working? As much as i would love to keep it this vehicle would be strictly an investment and something to hopefully make some money on. Thanks in advance for your advice.
