Howdy, after years of owning a Toyota Tacoma Im thinking of purchasing a Ford Ranger XLT. The one Im interested in has 60K miles on it and the dealer is asking $16,9 for it. Granted thats the asking price and Im surely not going to pay that much. Whats a realistic number I can expect to pay? You can check the truck out here . Also what should I look for in terms of things that may be possible defects. The Tacoma's are notorious for sagging rear leaf springs and frames that rust out prematurely so naturally if I was looking for a Tacoma those are two areas I would focus on.

Thanks

Tug

 

not a bad price to start with...id try to get them down to around 15

 

Thanks DJ, I was kind of hoping to get them down to $15K but if you look at Kelly Blue Book they have that truck listed at $20K... wtf?

 

I'm with DJ, go for around 15k. it looks like a nice truck, but dealerships will always jack up the price to make profit.

 

x2...i got my truck for $14.1K out the door and that was in feb of 09 and my truck had only 30k on it...just pull the ill take my busniess elsewhere line...then youll get what you want...thats what worked for me

 

I usually use the, "well, (in your case 15k) is about all i can swing this year, otherwise i'll have to go elsewhere"
and if they're like, "oh, we're sorry" then they didn't want to sell you a truck that bad anyways.

 

Year and other info might be helpful (unless I missed it in this thread)

Welcome to RF.

I see you live in Thornton too. I'm off 78th and Washington.

As far as the price goes, 14-15k would be about right. I picked up my 05 with 33k miles on it last summer for 13k. I'd say I paid a fair price. I talked them down 3k believe it or not...

 

Gotcha. Thankz. lol
