"An amazing vehicle, an appreciating asset!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Changed starter solenoid at 85,000.

U-joints.

General comments?

One of the best 4x4's on the planet. I also have a Jeep and it does not compare in quality, not even close.

Fuel mileage is around 9 to 13 mpg.

This one has a factory tow package with tranny cooler, heavier springs and 2 inch receiver.

This Scout has 5 seat belts since it has a front split bench.

This vehicle has been true to my family through thick and thin!

Lots of great help on the Internet with Scouts since there are so many enthusiasts.

You went from a BMW 5 series to a piece of agricultural machinery? Did you get wiped out in the.com crash, or something?

You want to know why this guy went from a BMW to an International Scout? Maybe he actually cares about going off-road. Play follow-the-leader with a Scout and a BMW X5. I bet the BMW bails out after 50 feet.

The Scout did not replace a vehicle, my wife and I bought it when we got married 20 years ago. The BMW is just the "other car". Thought people might find it interesting to see what other cars Scout owners have.
