    Oh, that looks nice.

    And only $34,000 for a 35 year old vehicle!

    Default It looks nice?

    It looks really nice. Not 34K nice but really good. Despite being old, pinzgauers will do a lot of things a new vehicle will not. It will also hold it's value for the future where new vehicle will depreciate quickly and then take a long time to be a "classic". I just sold a not quite as nice 712m like that one for 20K and picked up a Unimog and a 710K Pinz for that price.

    Just add all the changes that have been made and take a closer look at the top condition then the price is not too bad. May be it can be negotiated slightly lower.

    The Pinzgauers you normally get are really worn out and you have a lot of work and costs ahead.

    BTW, the Pinzgauers in the video at http://www.luxeauto.com/inventory_detail.cfm?Invid=307 are different ones. I don't know why this movie is used in the advertisement.

    Cabin: FRP, 2 1/6" PU, 20x8.2x8.1 ft(lxwxh), elec. cook. (no LPG), 2x6000 W inverter, 900 Ah/24 V, chrg 2x25 A/24 V, diesel heat, 164 gal tw, 93 gal gr/bl, vacuum toilet

    I have my doubts about that "75 mph cruising speed."

    This is why: "Upgraded high speed 5 OEM ZF transmission"

    This is the diesel tranny so the top end gearing is different. I believe it as mine cruises at 70mph all day with the factory tranny.
