I am loiking to get another Ranger this time a 2wd, to keep miles off of my 03 and to get better mileage as my 03 4wd only gets 16mpg. Anyone think that this one is a good deal I already talked to them and I can pick it up for less than what is shown, just wanted to knw what everyone else thinks of it?

Hey yea I was actually browsing craigslist the other day and came across this ranger and thought it looked prety good for what the price was.

 

looks good

 

mileage is um well HIGH... but other then that not bad...

 

Mileage was a little concerning however it does have a newer tranny and a new clutch. . . Not that, that changes anything really

 

id give you half the asking price for it with that mileage.. you gotta figure the motor will be going south soon enough .. the truck dont look bad in pics tho up close and personal is another story tho

 

dont look bad

 

It doesn't look bad, but the mileage is high, but the trucks are strong. I have heard of rangers have over 300,000 miles on the original motor.

 

Rust would be my concern. Engine may go south as stated, but that's not really horribly expensive for another four banger. Tinworm repair can get into really big bucks in no time.

 

check it for rust and offer him 1000-1200 for it, bring cash.

 

i'ld say 1500 if it looks good in person, the story is worrying to me...

 

dont listen to everyone els when it comes to asking price. ask half. if they know how to talk business then they will talk you up. if they dont, then you get a steal. either way you win if you consider alternatives - if they get offended tell them to F off and go buy a dif truck and always bring cash (the presence of cash works wonders). IM NOT JOKING. im a natural businessman. the best people to buy trucks from are people that dont understand the concept of talking business. the last vehicle i sold i talked the buyer up from the asking price. as far as i know thats unherd of.

 

[QUOTE=Bigdank] listen to everyone els when it comes to asking price. ask if they know how to talk business. if they dont, i try to help them. if they get offended tell them your sorry and it'll never happen again. and always bring cash (so i can rob you) im a natural b's'er. the best people to buy trucks from are people that understand the concept of talking business. the last vehicle i sold i talked the buyer down from my original asking price.

 

lol, your a hater.

 

i think that one would be at least worth a look see and test drive. as some others said bring some cash with you...
it might be worth making an on the spot offer ...
