Sunday the 24th is my 19th anniversary with my Ranger. 24 April 1992 it came home. I bought it with 8 miles on it (after the test ride). It's birthday is also in April but I don't know the day.
6006.84 miles per year.
Fixes over the years:
Clean out the crap from the oil pan and replace the oil pump due to low oil pressure. 56,000 miles.
Brakes: 56,000 miles and 114,000 miles. Second set was free.
Power steering pump: 89,000 miles and 112,000 miles. Second pump was free.
A/C compressor and conversion to 134a: 99,000 miles.
Slave cylinder, clutch: 95,000 miles. It didn't need the clutch but hey, I was in there. I kept the old clutch as it was only worn 1/16" compared to the new one.
Paint: 18 years.
Tires: 48,000, 90,000 and need again 114,000. Cooper Cobra GTs don't last.
Fuel pump: 110,000 miles.
The only work I didn't do was the low oil pressure fix. That was 789 bucks.
I'd say pretty darn reliable for 19 years. And relatively cheap too considering I haven't made a payment in 15 years. I consistantly get 22 mpg around town and 26-28 highway. That with a axle code 84 which is 3.45:1 ratio.
