1973 Ford Bronco: Worste ebay purchase ever! I really liked the picture and price of the 1973 ford bronco, so i went ahead hit the buy it now and followed threw with the down payment agreement. I called the seller and we made arrangements on me driving 6 hours one way to pick it up. I made it to the vehicle about 15 minutes before the seller, it gave me time to really look it over. Immediately i noticed that the bronco had massive cancer rust that was hidden from the photos and not explained in the description of the jeep. I was so disappointed that i had to explain to the seller that there was no way i could buy this jeep because it didn't even resemble the one in the pictures or description. The seller even tried to discount the jeep to me 1,500$. Although that sounded great it wasn't because there was around 8 thousand dollars worth of repairs that was going to have to be done for the jeep to meet what it was originally suppose to look and drive like. In my opinion this ebay seller should have his account relinquished, he has proven himself a fraud. I noticed he did relist the jeep on ebay with a completely new description from his original one. please please don't support this seller as he is extremely unaccurate in his desrcriptions.

Old Broncos are a lot like a Jeep - except they have a little more room. One of the biggest advantages of the first generation Bronco over other vintage 4x4's is that it is so popular the aftermarket offers any part you could possibly want. The Bronco's advantage over the Jeep is that, because it is a Ford, engine performance parts are readily available if you go with the V8. Even though the Bronco is small, the manual transmission and transfer case both have cast-iron cases, and it comes with the famous Ford 9-inch rearend. Probably the biggest disadvantage to the Bronco is that a lot of them came with manual drum brakes all around. If you get used to these, they aren't bad. However, several companies offer power and disc brake conversions that will save you front bumper a lot of pain and suffering in the bush. For people who like a vehicle that comes with plush creature comforts, the Bronco isn't the way to go. But for people who like raw power, reliability, and a departure from the ordinary (i.e.: Jeeps), the vintage V8 Bronco is an excellent choice. When purchasing a vintage Bronco, first one must survey either his/her bank account or skills. Ready to go Broncos are available for a premium price. Others can be found the need rust repair and other bodywork, mechanicals, etc. Don't be afraid to try something new! The vintage Bronco seems to hold its value better than average so tell your wife or any other skeptics that it's an investment. Source: eBay Motors Reviews |
1996 Ford Bronco: Sucks The dealer,Focus Auto Sales of Rochester, NY. Chris, completely mislead his product. He stated in his discription of the vehicle that was very litle if no rust, when in fact the under frame was nothing but rust and was hidden by sprayed on under-coating thus hiding all of the rust. Now he refuses to take any calls in an attempt to resolve the issue. Source: eBay Motors Reviews |
