Truck is Staying
Took the ranger to work to have it appraised for what they would offer for trade in. they offered $9,660. I decided to just keep it and dump money into it. I had the frame support thing in the front straighten. i welded 1/4 plate across the bottom to strengthen it up from heating up that dented/ smashed area.

Were you able to get it re-aligned?
Thats cool that you've decided to keep it. What about another dd? |
I can't believe you were offered 9660 for that pile

No kidding, I would have let it stay there for that.
That would have been tempting for me lol. |
Yup, 9600 is a good deal. Shoulda taken it. What were you expecting to get?
Lets put it this way...I picked up my 05 4x4 Ranger a year ago for about 12900, and it had 30k miles and was in perfect shape. |
man, i got offered $6,500 for my 08
|
^^^ 2WD might have something to do with that lol
|
and thats in canadian... so... its like 6700 US haha
|
yah cant forget the loonie's 3¢ stronger now haha

I decided to keep it because school is a lot at the moment and another loan even a small one is too much. |

Yes I did end up getting it aligned |
you can get a nice car for that, maybe a little more, and make up the savings in gas and not repairing it. just my opinion...

I figured I would keep it because I haven't even had it a year. Yeah its gotten a lot of work in it. But I'd rather put money into a truck I really like and not some car. |

Damn lol I heard from a Canadian while I was in Mexico that when the loonie is stronger than the dollar your prices go up. Is that true? /End threadjack Dave, if I was you I would trade in for a fuel efficient car with no aftermarket support. Therefore you would be saving tons of money on gas and not spending it on a car to modify. Then when you have enough money saved up you can get a project Ranger. I wish everyday that I would have gotten a Camry or some other reliable 4cyl sedan that gets good MPGs and isn't modifiable to much extent. |
Did you ever get new rims or keep the black ones? How many miles are on your truck?

Not a bad appraisal for 100k+. Definitely look good with those wheels though. |
