AFter 2 years with a car... i might finally be getting back into a truck again. I had my options this time around, but im thinking im just going to stay with a Ranger :) With ohio winters being what they are, the fact that i have to always borrow my stepdads tacoma when i need to haul something, and with my car being as quick as it is (its going to get me in trouble, i know it lol) i just need to get back in a truck....

Here are my options... im trying to stay under $10,000... also im really itching for a regular car 4x4, just have always liked them.

All are automatics with the 3.0L in them...

Option 1.

2003 with 41K miles on it... $9000



Option 2.

2002 with 82K miles on it... $7500 (but i think they'll deal on it, they've had it a while)



Option 3.

2004 with 72K on it... all power options... $8700



Option 4.

2003 with 69K on it... $9500 (already has dual exhaust, tho needs adjusting, and clear corners)



And Last...

Option 5.

2003 with 73K on it... $8500



Let me know what you guys think... i have probably about a month or so before i can do anything. It would be nice to be back in a truck again... the car just isn't me lol

I like option #3

 

Option #1 has the fewest miles. That would really catch my attention.

 

x2

 

Why not a ext cab?

 

option #2


and yeah, why not an extended cab?

 

Because regular cabs rock. I like that 04 with all power.

 

Option 2 or 3. They are by far the nicest looking.

 

Are any of those 4.0 4wd's???

 

No all 3.0. 4.0 in regcab 4x4 was only in 01 and then brough back last year.


I vote number 1 do to the lower miles.

 

Damn... :( I vote for 1, 3 or 4. I like the Red #3, but I also like the black trucks.

 

I like #3. But I'm partial to red. Also number 1.

 

I'm going with number 3

 

Option #4 should be eliminated right now...it looks like practically the same truck as number one...but has more miles, and is more expensive.

I would also say #1 because it seems like the best buy. It has the lowest miles, and is not too far off from the other trucks prices.

But all those trucks seem way over priced to me. A two wheel drive, 3.0 powered, reg cab ranger for 9k? I don't pay attention to Ranger resale values that much, but I do a bit. Seems like you should offer 6500

 

All of them are 4x4. Learn to read n00b! lol j/k man

 

I vote #1 due to the low miles. I got my 01 back in July with only 58K and #1 only has 41K.

 

I vote #3.

 

#3 for sure! (the loaded red one)

And i love the idea of a 4x4 regular cab!

 

DO NOT GET NUMBER 1

Looking at the picture again it's been wrecked. Look at the front bumper!

 

I don't see it.

 

Under the Driver's side headlight you can see a big dent on the front bumper.

 

Oh yeah I see it and the valance is all kinds of messed up.

 

Personally, from your choices, I would go with number three. It would be nice to find a Ranger with lower mileage though.

 

number 1
