If you need donor parts i guess $400 ain't terrible, but you can by a clean driver with half that milage in CA for about $1500-$2000 NO Rust either...

Same with Phoenix, and Las Vegas. Both are hubs with a ton of flights where they have been desert preserved. If you're searching craigslist, can help expand cities.

If you're looking for a winter beater, that $400 burban sounds perfect. I see you have skill, but I just don't see putting that much time and money into that when it doesn't take much to have something much better. I would still buy that burban for that price as a beater, or parts, then parting.
