Those things have appreciated in value right now...
They're like 10-12k for a really nice one as long as you don't want the S54

Too bad the color sucks.
At some point you just need to give up on color and focus on quality of vehicle and price. The only way I've ever gotten a color I wanted was buying new.
Eh, I feel like compromising in color will just lead to more :plac: sooner. FiSTs aren't uncommon so I'd personally wait for a bright orange one. The FiST deserves to be in a bright color.

That's :nice: and maybe a bit better than the orange. Don't think I've seen one in green before. Realistically I'd be happy to own one that isn't black, gray, or white.

I still feel like it's a lot of miles for the dollahs, but such is life. I like it. I will think it all over forever and do nothing.

I think it’s about where they were… I’m starting to see some good deals on pre 2000 vehicles. They seem to be in a sweet spot. 4x4 and all

My GMT400 had an underhood light that detached with a wire on a spool so you could position the light around the bay if working on something in particular. It actually worked, but I never used it because I didn't want to break a fragile wire or something.
