What D2 should I get?
So, I am in the market for a D2. Found some sad trucks out there. Right now, I have two contenders. Should I worry about the salvaged title? I was just going to keep liability on the D2. Which one would you go with? And what would be a fair price on the red D2?
1st - 2000 D2 - 145,000 miles
-Head gaskets replaced 9,000 miles ago
-Swapped out the 4.0 and dropped a 4.6 from a RR.
-Lift
-Roof Rack and Bumpers
-Salvaged title from something hitting the hood and cracked the windshield.

2nd - 2001 D1 - 177,000 miles
-Unknown history
-Private car lot
-Replaced the rear bags to coils and shocks
-New radiator hoses and thermostat
-New Water pump
-Head gaskets replaced a long time ago.

Thank you, those are good points and brought me back to reality. Back to the search I go.

The 2000 has a good history and they replaced the 4.0 block with a 4.6 block from a RR. Recent head gasket job. Added the CDL and lift. I noticed the roof had oxidation. I know the D2 that the tech owns has a history of repair work.
Should I just keep up looking?

Maybe it's just me but 6k is a lot of money for a D2. I honestly wouldn't pay more than about 3.5k for a D2 unless it was well modified or was extremely well maintained. I grew up struggling to afford cars so it might just be my habits but I prefer to find a car that has a bunch of small issues I know I can fix and do the repairs myself. Save a ton of money this way and here in the Bay Area there is a ton of cars to grab parts from. Shoot me a message if you ever need any, I hit the junkyards almost every week.

What do you guys think?

It looks very "dealer prepped". And that is what it is when you buy from a dealer. BUT clean/pretty does not equal good condition.... GET THE SERVICE HISTORY!
And before you pull the trigger get YOUR Indy LR mechanic to look it over. Paying for a pre-purchase inspection is the best money you will ever spend. Good Luck!

I like the tan interior and the hurricane wheels. Looks like the the body is straight. I assume the hg work still needs done soon. I would say that is worth about $2800 tops.
I have been watching prices on them and they seem to go in waves. Some crazy sob lists his for 11 k then everybody decides theirs is worth alot more. These things bluebook around 1900. I agree with a previous poster that $3500 is the max for any of them in primo condition. You will want to sell it some day.
