Ok, so I was on my way down to the tire shop to break down and pay $1000+ for snow tires. On the way down, I spotted a bronco with a for sale sign in it. I called the number, talked to the lady, and found out she was asking $4k for the 95 Eddie Bauer bronco in extremely good condition with 139k miles on it. I figured what the hell, why not drive it. It runs like new. So I talk a little more with her, and say it's going to be out of my price range. She asks me what my price range is, and I say I'm trying to avoid paying $1000 for tires + tax + mount and balance. She says what's that total, around $1200? I said yeah. She says "I'll tell you what. This was my husband's, and he passed away a couple months ago. If you want it for $1200, you can have it. I just want it out of the driveway."

So my new snow tires came attached to a 95 bronco in great condition. Not a bad deal!

Sorry for the poor quality, I snapped a pic with my phone before I headed in the house:

 

That's kick-*** dude!

 

hope he didn't die in it...maybe u shold've asked!!

good catch nonethe less

 

Nice...

 

thats sweet dude...!

lucky

 

That's the first thing she clarified thank god. He had a heart attack. I felt a little bad because she should have gotten way more for it, but if she's satisfied, then so am I.

 

I open up the thread expecting to see snow tires but instead a Bronco. Good deal you got. But an X or any Evo for that matter with snow tires (in the snow) kicks ***.

 

now u also have a DD and dont have to worry about banging ur evo out into a guardrail in the snow...id rather wreck at 1200 beater than a 40k car...thats why i bought my truck. good buy.

 

Yeah, sorry about that, I guess the title is a little misleading. I was really having a hard time with the idea of exposing the X to the harsh conditions of our roads during winter. I did it with the TT, and it was great in the snow and all, but we get repeated 10+ inch snowfalls up here in the high country, so I would be doing lots of pushing snow. My hood and windshield took a beating too. I think the X will do just fine with a cover in the garage for the winter. I'll swap em back when it's time to auto-x in spring.

 

^^That's ok it good to see something your not expecting sometimes. Yea keep the X nice, I don't have that option here, and IL sucks in winter... Them and their damn salt.

 

Ya,,, you just bought Christine.

lol,,, really good deal for both of you Im sure.

Find a way to take off that rear shell,, those look reall sweet that way.

 

you got lucky,,,good for you...
