Ford Ranger

[bwell]

I would look for something else for that price...  I bought my 2002 Dodge Ram quad cab fully loaded (leather, power everything, 4x4 ect ect) with only 69k on it for 8 grand...  Deals are out there there man.  If you do buy it don't post it here because you will have several people saying I told you so!

Selling a POS to get another old expensive POS is a bad idea...

Why are you saying my current car is a POS? You have never even seen it.

My dad had a ranger back in the day. Was a 91 I believe and was green. The paint did seem to fade in only certain spots, but it was always left out in the elements.

He sold it about 03?ish?? His buddy he sold it to had the piston blow through the hood at 200k. But he bought a crate motor for it after that and its been running like a champ ever since.

No and that's only because I didn't want a VR-4.

They may be the most unreliable cars that came out in the 90's.

Too much money for a 12 year old small truck but live and learn.

[bwell]

The ones I have been around always had problems... 

They are very heavy, very under powered, slow, and not to mention the gas mileage sucks.

Why sell that to buy something else that is going to get crappy gas mileage?

[skunked_again]

thats the milage on my Ranger when i sold it for a Mercury Mountaineer. weve also had 2 Explorers that have never been a problem.

[bwell]

Also is your car payed off?  If it is, why buy something thing that you will have to make payments on and pay way to much for it?

can you define crappy gas milage?

I could care less about any of these things mentioned. If I wanted to buy a fast car, I would have bought a 5.0.

The gas mileage all depends on the way you drive it.

I have gotten 25 mpg driving very conservatively, but that's not how I usually drive.

I am mainly selling because it is too small. My 7' rods can't fit in it and there is hardly any storage space.

My car is paid off and I won't have to make payments on the Ranger.

5.0 wouldn't get you anywhere fast either buddy without some mods...

That's pretty good gas mileage for the GT's, definitely not what I have seen before. 

I dont know, do what you want, but I think even 4-4500 grand is way to much for a ranger.

14-16 mpg in a small truck...

I get 12-13.xx city mpg in my Dodge with a 5.9l gas engine fully loaded...

I realize this, but it's probably the easiest and cheapest car to mod from what I have seen.

My buddy has one that runs 12's with only bpu.

But back on the subject of the thread, the guy just sold the Ranger, so it looks like I'll be looking for another one or something else.

You can fit a 7' rod in a sedan...  You can probably find a Corolla for cheap that will give you storage and can fit the poles in the car if you fold down the back seats.

I'll look into that.

My gf's 2005 Corolla with 75k on it she scooped for 7k.

That's below Blue Book value and unfortunately that's what most sellers base their price on.

That's a great deal, but I don't foresee finding many deals like that.

Most educated buyers know that "Blue Book" prices are inflated.  It is a sellers guide.  Take a look at completed auctions on ebay, or try Edmunds.  Your local Auto Trader will give you an idea as well.

I've got an '02 Toyota 4Runner with 80k on it, I'll sell you for $4500. Wife wants something smaller.

That's what I was getting at. That's why I said, "Unfortunately that's what most sellers base their price on."

I don't trust Blue Book value at all.

I would take you up on that, but your a little far away.

I just got rid of a '92 after I put 280,000 miles on it. 4X4, 5 speed manual, 4.0 L six. I barely got 16 mpg and sometimes less. The transmission started giving me fits. The first time I had the trans repaired it was $3500. The 2nd and 4 gear synchros were going out and it jambed up in third coming home while commuting from work. The next Sunday I stopped in at a local dealer near me and picked up another Ranger, '06 automatic, 3.0 L six with 55,000 miles on it and it has been heaven. Don't have to shift and has plenty of power and gets 22 to 25 mpg.
