Hey guys, names Dustin and I'm in the market for a new car, as you may have guessed a Ranger. I've been looking for something in the 4500 to 6000 dollar range, under 100xxx miles, with the extended cab, a 5 speed manual, V6 (3.0 or 4.0) and if all stars fall into place- the color would be black.
I think I may of found the perfect truck today- http://tampa.craigslist.org/pnl/cto/1824704983.html
I took a test drive today (first time driving a ranger) and here is what I found-
Cons-
When you turn the wheel you hear a slight whiny humming sound, the seller said the dealer ship quoted him $400 to fix it (he things its cv joints). I thought it sounded like a dieing power steering pump, but can't be sure.
The plastic passenger seat recliner handle is snapped off, looks like some serious glue could fix it, maybe.
The hood latch has to be pulled really hard to get the hood to pop open.
Pros
The lift on the truck is awesome, he called it a "California Lift" because the front sits a little higher then the back, anyone ever heard of this?
He "claims" the engine was recently rebuilt but lack paperwork to prove it- he also says the clutch and brakes are band new.
So what do you guys think? I appreciate in advance your advice
