Hi Ranger Experts,
I'm considering purchasing a '99 Mazda B2500 SE 2D for $3,500. Manual transmission, 87,000 miles, no rust, in great aesthetic condition. What worries me is that according to the TRS buyers' guide, 1999 is a really bad year for recalls/general problems for the Ranger. And since Mazda B-series trucks are (from what I can tell) clones of the Rangers, I'm worried a '99 B2500 will be plagued with all the same issues. Is this a real concern? is the '99 Ranger really a lemon, and does that spell disaster for the '99 B2500? Or is this a deal to spring for?
Many thanks in advance for any help/advice.
