I went and drove it. It pops out of gear occasionally but not all the time. For example, it'll pop out of gear if you're in a parking lot and you're just trying to cruise along in 1st gear, then it'll pop. Maybe bad shift forks? Syncro? The rig itself has 160K if I'm remembering right. I like the Navajo..throw a little lift on it, be a nice little wheeler/hunting rig/dd. It's actually in pretty good shape, minus the tranny. Good paint all around, no dents or dings. 4.0 sounds fairly solid, doesn't leak anything.
I'm really debating it. He said the $1095 would be the price out the door, taxes, title transfer, etc. I could probably get it for $1000 out the door, since he had it at $1,300 a week ago.
My other thing I'm debating is buying yet another older rig. I found a 99 Mazda B2500 I'm thinking of buying. Nice little 5 speed, 4 banger extended cab that's in good shape. Dealership is asking $6,000. It'd be a sole DD and hunting rig, no wheeling. But...I'd have a payment for a little while (probably pay it off by summertime or so), which also means full coverage insurance, which sucks. If I got the Navajo, it'd just have liability with no car payment.
But it would be nice to own a little newer-ish rig. I'm torn: older rig = no payment, little insurance and can lift/have fun with later -- or newer rig = payment, insurance, but is a little nicer and fuel efficient.
