Tracker value

Looking at a 1995 Geo tracker as a flat tow vehicle for my dad. It has about 140k miles, with 50k being towed. Owned by the same person for the last 8 years. Great shape. My question is the price. It comes with the blue ox equipment ready to go. The owner is asking 7500. I know the tow system is probably 1500 plus install, but the kbb value for private party is only around 2000. I have seen some decent ones at dealers for around 4500 without the tow system. What do you think it's worth?
  • Twenty-five year old vehicle....hmmmm. I wouldn’t have help my FIL with a like purchase.
  • got to remember folks have gold everything while you dont. We looked at used and bought a new hyundai for just a little more when we got the mh. Got the base plates installed at camp world, the guy selling the rv gave all the towing stuff with it. Actually most of it can be found cheap on craigslist, so its just the base plates and install that hurts but still less than $1000. The hyundais and kias tow well as they have good wheel base and overall stance. 150hp with direct injection good mileage too. he can drive a standard right?

    I owned two of them. I paid $3,500 for one with the tow hitch installed. It had just under 45,000 miles. It was a 96 with auto tranny, AC and power windows.The other one had about 75k on it. I paid $3,000 for that one, with the hitch. AC, but no power accessories. 5 speed. They were both 4X4's too. Samurai is another option. They are lighter and tow exceptionally well. Finding one with AC is next to impossible.
  • Seems high even at $4500.
    I would be looking at a newer model with independent suspension. Chev Tracker or Suzuki Grand Vitara. Newer models do not show towed mileage on odometer.
