if you dont buy it someone else will..price is more than fair considering parts alone would add up to more than 10k. Its an ix so honestly the chassis alone without a motor, trans or tcase is worth more than 10k so its a steal price. just buy it.

If there is a rebuildable engine, trans & diffs & the unibody is corrosion free, more than a fair deal

Lock / Load on that deal

Depends on how good you are with wrenches and/or how deep your pockets are...but kinda yeah if blown means can be rebuilt.

Thanks guys.

the paint is rough from sitting outside, but no rust. I am good with the wrenches and will be buying built parts and installing them myself. I am bound to find more wrong other than the engine, trans and turbo…..but that’s where the community comes it. Thanks again.

That's a good deal. Also don't forget that if it's been sitting outside for a few years you'll likely need to freshen up the brakes and look into new tires (assuming they're flat spotted).

I know there are going to be lots of hiccups along the way… but I’m excited about getting it.

dude is “looking for the title” he is the original owner.
