Re: 767
My family owned a second hand Jeep Cherokee in costal New England. There was an obscene number of miles on the clock when we bought it and we'd added a few too. It was just used during the summer months when somebody was there. The petrol tank had rusted at the top during the harsh winters and warm humid summers. A small hole had developed at the top of the tank and went all the way through the metal. It didn't leak much unless you were going uphill and the tank was more than 3/4 full. The guage or the sounder was faulty anyway so judging how much fuel to put in was difficult. Gaffer tape helped a bit but hardly an approved repair method. Eventually we decided to scrap it as had numerous other faults so it wasn't going to pass the US MOT equivalent without spending some serious $. A friend asked if he could sell it instead of scrapping it to be more environmentally friendly. After we'd stopped laughing said yes.
They got a staggering $2500 for it despite listing all the faults accurately and we gave them half. Yet to experience a Lancia.
