Used Vehicle Strategies for Overland Travel

Join Matt Scott and Scott Brady on this weeks Overland Journal Podcast episode as they discuss why buying a used overland vehicle can offer huge value as prices and labor rise, highlighting where to shop (Expedition Portal classifieds, Facebook Marketplace, Bring a Trailer, and Europe-focused Expedition Meister) and why many COVID-era builds now sell for “pennies on the dollar.” They stress prioritizing factory overland builds or reputable shop work to avoid unsafe DIY wiring and mismatched parts, and share deal examples including a modified Ford Ranger, AEV/Ursa Minor Jeep Wrangler, Gladiator with a Super Pacific camper, Power Wagon with a Four Wheel Camper, and a $4,000 LR3. They cover depreciation, resale realities, imported 25-year-rule vehicles and right-hand-drive limitations, plus ideas like buying overseas or using standardized RVs/vans such as Winnebago Revels to travel and resell with minimal loss.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
