Easy fix. Just as long as that is the only problem with it.

Yeah saw it on Offer Up lister with 140k miles for only $1300. I message the owner on there to ask how long it’s been running hot and the only response was “since a light came on”

And 500k miles on that other one! Just getting broke in.

Odometer on the Dl looks to be tampered with. The 5 is not located correctly, inline with others...usually a good indicator someones had their "meat hooks" in there. Probably didn't get the secondary smaller notch aligned properly while reassembling and then when it rolled over...it spun the 100000 indicator farther than it should have. Seen it happen often. Use to reseat odometers manually, all the time - back in the day, when replacing cluster.

Plus, the cracked cluster surround, with the wrong screws, is a dead give away that the cluster has been out. And, that would be the cleanest 500K vehicle on the planet. Mine has 140K and looks will it spent it's life in a swamp.

Saw this one for sale back in May, looks like this guy bought it and now he’s selling it again. $5k? Hard sell IMO.

Too bad it's overpriced by about $4000 (and that's being nice).
I like this...… " The odometer say 220,000 but I am not sure if the engine has been swapped or not..". OK right.

Some $UCKER will buy it. I fool and his money will one day own a ROVER!
