Lookin at a 2003 Ranger

Robin Hood · 06-04-2008, 10:33 PM

I'm lookin online, and found a 2003 Ford Ranger XLT on Carmax. I know what you guys think of carmax, but leave those thoughts somewhere else, not here. Now it says its an FX4 Level II, but it says XLT... Which is it? I think (not sure) that early FX4's were XLT's but now they are separate trims?

Its got 84K miles on a 4.0L thats not too bad right?

ya, they have both badges. as for 2002 and 2003, all FX4s and level II were XLT.

Robin Hood · 06-04-2008, 10:51 PM

thats what I thought.

just checking. does 9,900 sound right for a price before taxes?

c note is right, i have a 2002 and its xlt and fx4. but i think thats a good price, i got mine last year with 66 on it for 14. kelly blue book it, that might help. plus i bet it has some goodies like 4.10s and a limited slip.

i've wanted an FX4 ranger forever, and all of them were so expensive. I didn't think 84K miles was too much, but I figured having a 2nd or even 3rd opinion wouldn't hurt from real FX4 owners.

Thanks

No its auto and shift on the fly, but that doesn't matter all that much to me.

theyre asking 9950$ for it.

They're not askin- they're GETTIN'. There is NO negotiations at carmax, thats just another reason people have such a low opinion of them. Me included.

I wouldn't pay book price for anything right now, the market sux and there are deals everywhere. Especially on a truck that's gonna get like 15 MPG...

Read the top, I don't give a rats ass about your opinion of carmax. Nothing personal, just don't care.

I don't care that much about MPG, it's going to be better than my 77 GMC k25.

Its true for the truck market. You can almost get a new truck for 2-5k $ less than new.

Now as for the 2003 FX4. Thats not too bad of a price. Thou, it could be better. 4x4 Rangers have a high re-sale value.

I don't care about your opinion of my opinion either, so there...

Doesn't matter. Point is, a truck that gets 15 MPG should be DISCOUNTED with today's fuel prices. This means you have a bargaining chip here. A bargaining chip you can't use at the above unmentioned place that you don't care about my, or anyone else's opinion of. Let us know if you get it. We need to get you out of the chebby. It explains a lot about your attitude.
