Boulder Colorado is lousy with them. I drive mine every day, and it's a rare occasion that I don't see at least one other Gen1 4-door. I probably see a Gen1 2-door once a week. They seem to come & go in waves on craigslist, but if you're patient you can get one in mint condition, plus a junker for parts, for less than $2k. On top of that, it seems like most people don't know how reliable these trucks are. I often see trucks for sale cheap that appear to be on their last legs, but Montero last legs are pretty long!

The bonus is that around here, there's no rust. I grew up back East in Massachusetts and NH, so I'm used to seeing five year old cars disintegrating into fine brown dust. Out here you can get a 20 year old vehicle that's nearly factory-fresh.

As a side note, you wouldn't believe how many Land Rover D90s and D110s I see around here. Now there's a truck to covet!
