In the other thread you were looking at buying a brand new Frontier 8x8 or a slightly used one with accessories in the 12-14k range. Now you're looking at a 1989 model?
Everybody dies, but not everybody lives.
I started second guessing myself, 1993 didn't feel right for some reason, so I looked into it a bit. Here is what I found:
1962 - Ontario Drive and Gear (ODG) founded in Canada. ODG developed and produced a special transmission for a 6-wheel drive, skid steer ATV -- the Amphicat.
1967 - ODG introduced its own 6 wheel drive amphibious vehicle ... the ARGO.
1971 - 8 wheeler Argo Introduced 440cc
1975 - ODG switches to polyethylene as the body material for ARGO and introduces the 4-cylinder ARGO.
1981 - ARGO 8 I/C introduced with hydraulic steering and brakes, this rapidly captured 60% of the market
1985 - Briggs and Stratton 656cc twin cylinder I/C engine introduced.
1987 - Argo 8 I/C redesign made this the most popular model in the Argo line-up.
1989 - Argo 8x8 Magnum and Argo 6x6 Magnum introduced. Faster on-the-road.
1992 - ODG marks 25 years with Argo by producing 25 silver bodied Vanguards.
1993 - ODG introduces the first liquid cooled engine in the new ARGO CONQUEST.
1995 - Argo 8x8 RESPONSE introduced the answer for the individual who needs eight wheel capacity at an attractive price.
1997 - 6x6 BIGFOOT invades the market, with its extended wheelbase and 25" tyres.
2000 - CENTAUR 8x8 Diesel launched, -mid mounted, diesel engine, unique chassis design and steering wheel control.
2004 - ARGO 8x8 AVENGER launched. - 26hp Kohler liquid cooled petrol engine, 25" wheels and tyres with increased ground clearance.
2006 - ARGO 6x6 FRONTIER launched. 23hp Briggs and Stratton air cooled petrol engine, 24" wheels and tyres.
2006 - 31HP EFI AVENGER 8x8 launches. Kohler fuel injection system.
2007 - ARGO 8x8 FRONTIER launched. A direct replacement for the Response 8x8.
2008 - ARGO launch AVENGER 700 (26hp) and AVENGER 750 EFI (31hp) Avenger models, with new digital dashboard display.
2009 NEW ARGO ribbed/runamuk tyres for the 25" AVENGER 700 and 750 vehicles, with redsigned triple seal axle bearings.
2010 - AVENGER 750HDI - 31HP Kohler EFI makes this the most versatile ARGO ever.
2011 - AVENGER 700HD - as per 750HDI
Hope this helps
