10K is a lot cheaper vs the place in Houston with some D2's pushing 20k. Heck they had a D1 listed for 14k not to long ago. Supposedly they're gone thru top to bottom, but then you look at the pics and see broken cig/coin pockets, worn leather Ebrake/TC boots, and painted frames.

To this point - AtlantaOnWheels has high priced D2's but they've been rebuilt, sleeves pinned etc. They're very descriptive so that helps justify the high price somewhat I suppose.

Yea 10k is a lot but 91k miles is pretty low.

I just picked up a 02 with 156k miles for 2200, so there is that.

Whats annoying about this is that when I search D2's around here - SC - I can find "needs motor" examples for what you just paid.
A good running one is double that easy. Low miles, even more.
Not that I'm complaining really because I own an 02 but on a more national level (think Facebook groups), you'd think an 02 with 150k miles is a $500 truck all day and people will argue with you about it.
The reality is, at least with 500 or so miles from me, thats not even remotely true.

What l'm noticing in my area...there are fewer of these on craigslist or facebook market place. Don't know if the supply is just drying up, meaning, most have been scooped up by enthusiasts and the wrecks have made their way to junkyards. Four yesrs ago, you'd see seven or eight for sale...now...you might run across one...and usually it's a parts only sale.

Seattle/Portland, 4 D2's by owner and 5 for sale by dealers on CL. Lots of LR3's and literally tons of Range Rovers. I didn't and don't look at FB. And yeah there used to be more, but as for the PNW good examples still available.

I wouldn't worry about a vehicle with Dex-Cool. There's nothing wrong with it if you just change every 5 years like you're supposed to. I still have it in mine.
