Hey y'all,
I'm Erik, just looking to get my first car and I think I found a good deal on a Ranger. I've been scouring the forum all evening trying to learn about common problems to look for when I go check out the truck tomorrow; there's so much good info on here, I appreciate it!
Help me out here if you can:
Ok, I know I'll sound dumb, but I'm looking at this truck tomorrow to possibly get my first car and he says it's a 1998 but the headlights look like a 1997. Which is it? It has leaf springs in the back in another picture, I don't know if that narrows it down.
It seems like a decent deal, but let me get your opinions on that, too.
It's a 2.5L, 5 speed
He says he has receipts for:
New motor with 80,000
New trans with <80,000
New Master/slave cylinders
New clutch
New battery
New inner/outer wheel bearings
and "some other things he can't remember right now"
He said it's like a 300,000 mile truck, so I was thinking about swapping out the suspension for new parts so I would have a completely new truck, in essence.
Does $1600 seem like a good price?
