This is why you should research the vehicle you're wanting to buy.

I found this ad on the Dallas Texas Craigslist for a 2001 Ford Ranger Edge 4x4 Edge.

The FX4 wasn't available until 2002.

It didn't have the silver 4x4 sticker on the tailgate.

It didn't come with that light interior.

You couldn't get an 'Edge' with a FX4 package

6g's? I must be selling cars in the wrong part of the country. Almost 20 years old with 200k and 6 GRAND. That's too funny.

If I had seen the edge decal and the fx4 that would have raised flags for me.

There is a 2005 FX4 Level II for sale up here for $11,500! It is a very nice truck, but damn. Ironically it is even about $500 under book at that price...

Checked out the prices of the FX4 Level 2's awhile ago and prices are way up there. I picked up a 03 for $5500 knowing I'd have to replace the manual trans but has the manual transfer case and 143K miles on it.

There was a kid a few years behind me in school that had FX4 decals on his '97 F-150 because he thought they looked cool.

i think used vehicle prices have really gone up, used to for 500 you could get a reasonably good vehicle to use as a daily driver, now its hard to find anything for under 1000 that isnt junk. i know i paid too much for my 94 i drive now, i was in a bind and it was the best i could find for under a grand (the 2nd best being a 1/2 ton dodge extented cab 4wd with no tires, on blocks, 318 auto-for 900) i gave 700 for my current ranger, the guy i got it from wanted 800, and after a through go-over i determined it was at best a 400$ truck. have done alot to it and at the moment its undergoing a head replacement, and im putting a few other new parts under the hood.
