So I saw this today. I am new to the Bronco world and looking for guidance on if this is a good deal and if not where I should try to be on it.

Definitely not to me.
Anytime they downplay rust, it's 10 times worse than they pretend it is.

Did not see rust in the pictures. Rust is the enemy...

As soon as I read low doesn't work but who cares...I bailed. Description is overly optimistic. Unless you're looking for a 'project'.
When it starts with rare find, i also expect running when parked.

Depends on how handy or how much money you got
with enough time and skill plus cash you can make anything look and run great . 12k for a rusted out 88 tho unless you got mad body skills and a ton of cash to drop in it, hard pass

Florida prices... i swear, everything costs 4 x more in Florida. Ohio pricing is the sweet spot, especially NE Ohio, sometimes Pittsburgh, that's where i got my 88 from, and my cbr. People don't really ride bikes year round up north so bikes can be found in great shape low miles reasonable prices
That bronco is not in bad shape. Where is the spare? They were usually on the tailgate or mounted inside the bed, im not seeing this one.
Rust don't look too bad. I've seen a lot worse. Definitely check if the tailgate window works. 12k, no way, 3k maybe
Doesn't even mention engine. I had the 4.9L inline 6 cylinder, it was a tank. But they also had the 5.8 v8? I think, been a while. I got maybe 13mpg and no where fast. Manual hubs, manual shift, manual windows: the good life
Got to be too much to take care of. I couldn't afford it. At the time i had 2 cars and 3 bikes, too much with maintenance, ins, registrations.
Simplified down to 1 car, just what i had to do at that time in my life. ... but yeah, 12k is too much lol
