I have been keeping my eye on a Montero that has been sitting on a mechanics lot for a couple months.. Today I called the shop. Mechanic said he towed it off the highway when it died. Said it`s a 98. I took a peek at it sunday, and it has the orange locker sticker on the console, and the shift lever has the locker option on it as well. He says it MIGHT need an engine but wasn`t sure. Mileage on the odo said 23k. Not sure if that`s 123 or 223k. Tires are a couple different brands and tread on some is a little thin. Nice interior though, looked like leather and it had a sunroof too. I can buy it as it sits for$450. I`m wondering if it`s worth fixing.. My current truck is an 87 Trooper with only 66k on it. I like it but the monty offers so much more in confort, parts availability, and those lockers.. It looks EXACTLY like this one. I "borrowed" this pic from another post for reference. Oh, only body issues I noticed was a dented front bumper. What do you all think?
