IDK, everything out here in this side of the country kind of is hit and miss, more miss usually. People just don't maintain anything, they drive stuff into the ground then somehow think their pile of crap vehicle is worth a fortune and list them for sale for ridiculous prices, or they park them out in the field and they just rot away.
I picked up an 87 Ranger last December for $800, $1000 after insurance, taxes, registration. Then had to do brakes, rotors, full lube & service, tune up, etc...then spent the better part of this year chasing around a power loss issue which thanks to ADSM08 finally got fixed (o2 sensor).
Stuff out here is really a huge gamble. Given the area we are in with the hills & mountains, hunting, camping, etc. people just bash on stuff all the time, or use vehicles on the farm and beat them up. Occasionally you run across vehicles that are in too good of shape to be true, making you wonder what they are covering up LOL.
