Gotten bit by the "get rid of your ranger" bug...
Alright here is what is going down...
I have been offered $8,000 for my Ranger (I paid $5800) for it originally and am really considering taking the offer.
I know this is a Ranger website but I need honest opinions about this.
As much as I'd like to say I do, I hardly use the bed for anything. I throw stuff back there a lot but normally nothing that wouldn't fit in a trunk/etc.
Also, being in high school I love driving around with my friends, and I can't really take anyone anywhere due to the small cab of the Ranger.
This is what I'm considering of buying:
Cars For Sale: Car Details - AutoTrader.com
Also there are some other ones I'm looking at:
Cars For Sale: Car Details - AutoTrader.com
and
Cars For Sale: Car Details - AutoTrader.com
Has anyone had an experience with the Xterras? I know they haven't gotten great reviews but neither has the Ranger yet the Ranger is a great vehicle. It seems to meet my needs as far as functionality wise without breaking the budget...Or are there any better options?
HELP!

I've been having a hard time finding a 250/150 for under 8k around my area.. Plus the size issue is a problem due to the fact I can barely fit the Ranger in my family's garage and they don't want anything sitting outside.. hmm.

Like a Jeep cherokee? A jeep liberty just seems a little too small for me. And kind of girly. haha.
WTF
Ford f250, Good cond, 4WD, 83k miles
That price must not be right

id take the offer honestly if i were you. but if your really tall like i am, i would look for another truck or something you can fit in. that camaro looks like a steal though, id consider that; also consider since u live in iowa, the winter months, cause im pretty sure you get lots of snow and ice.

Yeah that Camaro looks like a steal, its not what I need though so I have to pass.
Yeah we get a LOT of snow, so a 4x4 is really a must for me. I'd like a 4 door truck but there really aren't any that are affordable and not extremely large, since like I said size is an issue.
Has anyone else had an experience with the Xterras? Or should I stick to an older Jeep Cherokee or something similiar?

The more I read the reviews the more and more I'd hate to "upgrade" to a less reliable vehicle.
Here's a decent Cherokee I found that I kind of like:

I would go with a Cherokee, you can still wheel if you want, it has a back so even though you dont use your bed it still can be used, and you can haul your buds around.
You can find some good ones.
To answer you ? about which cars I say the 3rd. less miles and cheapest...oldest to but you are in HS dont need a lexus :)

understand that at your age you shouldn't be driving people around. I personally took out my rear seats of my sentra so i didn't have to lug people around (only my girlfriend(s) at the time) and to save money on gas. i would keep your ranger honestly. you wouldn't have to mess with your insurance or dmv and you can just continue living your life. if you want to drive around town with your friends, do it in your friends car/van (i'm sure at least one of your friends have a van). keep in mind the more seats in a car with a teenager behind it the more expensive your insurance is.
