under 100k miles. All original top to bottom. Original exterior spare tire cover, paint, rims, interior etc. Looks like new, and everything works. What would be a fair price to pay?

In Rons link it looks to have a new, wider than normal radiator. I would look very carefully for signs of overheating.

The bronco in the link provided is not mine. The one I'm considering is very similar but has different rims. I have an opportunity to buy the one I'm asking about. It's not listed anywhere, just ran across it.

I owned 2 Bronco 2's in my younger years and have always casually been looking for another one.

Then YOU get to decide what it is worth.

Make an offer that you can live with.
It is an older model SUV, nothing special in 1988 model year to make it all that different, 1990 was last year, 1983 first year

If you are buying it to drive then "heads up", low milers will have problems when they become drivers.
If you are buying it to sit and look good, to keep miles low, then it would be fine

It's hard for us to give any input, since we don't know what it looks like or how it runs. Like Ron said, you get to decide. Make a reasonable offer based on your knowledge of the BII. Have you driven it? Run well? Stop well? 4 wheel drive work? Any noises, leaks etc? Then make your offer. Just remember, they're getting hard to find in decent condition. And post Pics or a link.

Its hard to price out stuff like this. At least for me it always has been. The area you live in also makes a difference. There's a Bronco 2 about 160 miles from me that they have listed for $8,500. Its been listed for sale for a few months now...course at almost MSRP price for a 30 year old vehicle its a bit steep. A Mustang, Charger, or other "Muscle" car maybe, but a 2 door carry all, nobody wants them anymore because they can't get their 20 kids in and out of it and its old...people today think they need the newest thing out there to show off to their friends in, nevermind practicality.

But here's one at a dealership for a far more reasonable price:

Since all the B2's had a 5 digit odometer, I would ask for documentation to verify the 62K reading. Being an EB, I would assume it's an automatic. Be aware, the A4LDs can be problematic. When I was shopping for my 89, many I called about had tranny problems. A local trans shop quoted $2000.00 for a quality rebuild. If the mileage is accurate, and the vehicle was well maintained, the A4LD should last another 40K. Expect clear coat problems that most 80's cars have. I was shocked at the price of a quality paint job these days. All that said, I found that most B2s priced north of five grand took a long time to sell. Good luck with your search.
