Ford Bronco

Overall I would say it was a good experience. The person I bought it from was more than willing to work with me. I did a best offer and negotiated it to a price to allow for the possible repairs a truck that old may require. When we got it home I had my mechanic check it out and it needed new brakes, Tires,ignition switch and steering gear box, among other things that could be put off. By the time I got the "HAD to be fixed items" fixed, it had cost me what the original Buy it now price was. We also got alot of the cosmetic Items and the Tires at our local "cash for Clunkers" junk yards. new seats, new door panels, spare Tires holder for the back door and 5 barely used tires with rims all for about $250. Very happy with my purchase... just have to be smart about allowing for what might be wrong, mechanical objects that old are bound to need some work...

THIS TRUCK LOOKS NICE BUT, WHEN IT I GOT IT HOME. AND HAD A CHANCE TO LOOK CLOSE THERE WERE MANY PROBLEMS. THE TRUCK DESCRIBED AS NO RUST & EVERTHING WORKS. HAS EXSTENSIVE RUST. IN SOME PLACES YOU CAN SEE DAY LIGHT.A DEAD BATT ,WINDOW HANDLE, DOORHAND, RADIO SPEAKERS, E-BRAKE, GAS LEAK,LIFT GATE MISSING PARTS,MISSING KEYS. ARE SOME OF THE ITEMS THAT DON'T WORK. I BID THE TRUCK BELIEVING THAT THERE WAS LITTLE OR NO RUST. BECUASE THEY ASKED ME TO WIRE MONEY TO THIER PERSONAL CHECKING ACC. BEFORE I TOOK POSSION. I WAS SUSPIOUS AND SHOULD HAVE AND SHOULD HAVE TERMINATED DEAL THERE BUT I DID NOT. AFTER INVESTING TIME AND MONEY IN TRANPORTING THE VEHCAL 1500mi BACK TO UNITED STATES. I AM STUCK WITH THIS VENDERS LIES ABOUT THIS TRUCK. I WILL SAY THAT IT IS A BEAUTIFUL TRUCK THAT OTHER WISE RUNS FINE. I PAID MARKET PRICE FOR A VEHICAL IN EXELLENT CONDISTION AND GOT A VEHICAL IN DISREPAIR.

I am completely satisfied with the purchase and condition of this vehicle. I feel that I received a better than expected deal and would definitely do it again.

Its simple, Ford Bronco's are a vehicles I like, previously owned a 1985 Ford Bronco and I just like them. Now, they are destined to be a classics, discontinued in 1996 I am slowly with attention to detail restoring my Bronco. The appeal in reliability and the look, few vehicles resemble the Bronco. The only thing I did not like about my Bronco is the previous owner smoked in it, and getting the smell out takes alot of scrubbing.

I called before purchasing this vehicle to inquire about specifics of problems. I was told mechanically it was in good working order with the only problem needing to be fixed was the switch for the back power window. Engine had few miles since valve job and new ignition parts. All the power and air working with exception of back window. Vehicle was being used as "show vehicle" for 4X4 company.
On first day of driving, the brakes were hardly working ... nearly causing me to wreck. The engine also had a miss to it and lack of power, the air conditioner did not work and the only power window to work was the passenger side and it was slow. I drove straight to a garage to have everything checked out. I was shown the brake system was in need of total repair - including brake lines that were rusted and brittle. The repair was in excess of $3500. The engine turned out to be even bigger problem. An engine rebuild shop tore down the motor while I was there and showed me that the intake gasket was leaking air on the rear of the motor and had caused a burned piston. The chunk of piston that broke off resulted in a broke sparkplug and no compression on that cylinder. The opposite cylinder was also about to come apart. since this motor had a recent valve job which requires removing the intake, I can assume that the problem was ongoing. A total engine replacement was in order for another $5000. I haven't even addressed the other problems but you can get the idea.
My only "saving grace" (I thought) was the buyers protection program from ebay/paypal. I filed the complaint since the person I bought the vehicle from more or less told me it's my problem now only in a nice way. Ebay/paypal declined my filing stating the offer did not cover any mechanical problems. It makes me wonder exactly what it did cover if not for the mechanical problems that I was told by seller was in good working order.
This experience has soured me on the ebay experience as false claims by sellers appear to be allowed withour consequenses. I bought this vehicle for $4000, paid another $800 for shipping and now have over another $8000 invested to bring up to safe driving standards. The seller nor ebay/paypal have offered to help rectify the problem!

First,they are super rare. I didn't think I would ever get a chance to buy one again.I didnt think I bid enough money. I figured this would really jump in price at the end. I cant believe I won it! I got a great price. The guy took a bunch of photos. So I knew what I was getting. I love this bronco. Its one of the coolest things on the road.

I love the little red Bronco,it is in very good shape for it's age,it has a few minor problems to deal with,no big problems though.i've loved the classic Broncos for years,all parts are still available,thats a Plus when restoring.

This is a good multipurpose vehicle. It runs well, even with over 150,000 miles. The only down-side is the rusted tailgate.

Tim was verry helpfull and helped out as much as he could , The item was discribed to the T verry honest I would defintly buy from again ...
