'89 petrol Cruiser

Yesterday, I was offered a '89 petrol Cruiser for 40k.

It seems to be in a good condition for a 30year old vehicle and it has 795k km on it :o

4x4 works, engine pulls well (although the idle is a bit rough) and drives surprisingly well. I think it will make for a good farm vehicle.

What do you guys think? Is this something one can consider and what are the known faults - what should I look for?

Cheers

Any faults that model had have played up & been dealt with by now.

Your problems are the 800000km type problems.

Neither fast nor economical - but as a R40k toy it's worth it...
