Not bad for the prices at all! Did the 2010 only have body damage?

Oh and I'll give you 3k for it? I'm on my way to Canada right now

I obviously don't know where he got his trucks but most likely it was from Copart......they are big in the US and I think they have branches in Canada..........you need to be a dealer in the US........if you hook up with a dealer you can buy them online and have them delivered ..........sometimes they are so cheap it is of little risk

dsd do you have a dealer license? did you happen to come down to Calgary to get that black one? I saw one similar to that at impact auto auction in Calgary.

I'm so sorry guys that I haven't responded to these post.Sorry yes I am a dealer and we go on-line to bid at Impact auto and also co-part and in person at Edmonton salvage here in Edmonton.Ive seen rangers go for as little as 200.00.That white 2010 was hit hard in the rear for sure it twisted the rear axle tube 90 degrees so we chained it down to the rear end of a DC8 cat and twisted it back.The frame was shortened by 18 inches and it split the transfer case in two.I used a 2006 2 wheel drive frame and welded tow hooks and front diff brackets on it and I was good to go.

Hell of a response time haha.

there's a good chance you might have gotten my 2011 sport it was sent to impact in calgary about 2.5-3 years ago 84k on it i think.

im sure its hard to remember but it was red 4x4 extended cab would have been zero body damage with black aftermarket wheels on it. it was sent in running/driving but deemed flood damaged although no signs were present.

Edit: also would have a TRS sticker on the top left of the rear window.

My brother took me out to look at used trucks a few weeks ago...they were all overpriced and I said the guy was a dealer and he probably picked these up at auctions and fixed them up as needed...so my brother said "Let's go to an auction then...".

We haven't been yet and not sure of the requirements but I meant to look into it...I had since decided to keep working on my 88 on a 96 frame but I still need an automatic transmission...so maybe cheaper to just pick up a whole truck and swap over the parts needed...

If you have any advice on auctions I'm all ears...
