i might have to get ride of my truck due to the simple fact that my future wife's car is a pile of dung. it's a 1996 ford taraus and it dies randomly and it also doesn't like cranking. my truck is nice and dependable but its not the best vehicle for a family vehicle. once we get on our feet real good we get me a ranger that i want. like Fx4 Level II (freakin sweet). even if i do get rid of it i will remain a fan and member of RF. any inputs on selling price of my truck and dependable family cars for less than 10 g's.


info on truck: 2003 Ford Ranger Edge
single cab, 2x4
3.0L V6, 5-speed manual
6-disc CD changer
euro clear tail lights
stock everywhere else
51,000 miles


any input will help out a lot. thanks

 

How many miles? And that really sucks!!! but family first

 

Well, besides the euros, manual tranny, and 6 disc changer, your truck is the same as mine. I saw one in the paper for $9xxx, but I bought mine for $11500 and it only had 25kmi on it back in may. As usual, if you sell it yourself, you'll get more for it.

 

it's got 51,000 miles on it. still runs strong but the downer is that i owe $10,500 on it still and i want to get as close as i can to wiping out the loan when its sold!!

 

you should be able to get what you owe. $10,500.

i would think.

but maybe not. right at that range...

try www.kbb.com

 

get a sport trac

 

High miles are a killer, nice truck though. I agree with the "family first" sentiments. You'll get another shot at a ranger, and in the mean time you've got your wife in a safe D.D. and that's the most important thing. Good luck in selling, your local market is far more important than what KBB or NADA says.

 

well the in Louisiana the price of gas is now back up to $2.00 a gallon and people are buying little trucks with power like crazy so maybe i'll have some luck!

 

under $10k? Maybe a POS one.

if you're looking for a cheap reliable car, i'd say a jetta or something similar to it. i like jettas alot.

 

this is hard to say on a ford board but a honda civic 4 door or a honda accord 4 door will do a great job for ya

 

well after a long and dragged out talk me and my fiance decided to keep my truck and put a tonneau bed cover and carpet the bed. i only have three years left to pay and if i bump my payments up to $400 the truck will be payed off in two years. i need info on a good bed cover and carpet.

 

Bedrug, for the carpet. I'd got with an Access for the tonneau that is if you want a soft one.

 

knaw i like the look and how durable a hard top is

 

I was extremely happy with my Snug Lid SL, and as for the liner i would strongly recomend the Bed Rug.
