Can you guys help me out with this buy?

[KrAzy KoOl MaN]

I found this truck (before you look, I have been looking for a Ranger for a Really long time now, but I could not find one in my price range so I looked for alternatives, and this one popped out....

So the guys wants, that price, but the registration and inspection are out. It needs a new windshield and I think the exhaust or muffler has a leak or something like that. What do you guys think and how much should I offer him.

I know it might not be better looking than the Ranger, but the rangers here in Dallas are really expensive for some reason....

Thanks in Advance

by the way I don't think this has airbags so will insurance be really high. This is my first car!

...

depends on how much you wanna spend. whats your price range for a ranger and are you looking at 2wd or 4x4

 

[OilPatch197]

regardless if it has airbags or not, it will still be high!

That is a GREAT truck to start with!!!! I started with a 2.0L Ford Ranger, it is FUN to work the stick!!!

I would check that motor out real good, make sure it does not burn oil/coolant, as it is a FRESH rebuild and still in the break-in period, THAT IS IF HE DID THE REBUILD CORRECTLY!!

(NOT just slap in new bearings, did the whole shabang, bore, cleaning tank, new cam bearings, a full rebuild kit- Some people will just slap in new rings and hone the cylinders, and call it a rebuild!!!)

I would offer about a hundred under their asking price. As for the inspections, I have no Ideal, as I don't need inspections in Illinois.

I'd pass on that if I were you. Try to keep looking. What's your price range?

 

[KrAzy KoOl MaN]

I mean it is tempting. It is a rebuilt motor.

Well, it somewhere around there. I mean I know I am not going to find the perfect truck for that price, but I know for that price range in is going to need minor engine repair, no AC, and cosmetic work. I think that is fine, but I just can't find one! like that. I think I would go for it if it had registration and inspection up to date. So my price ranger is from 0- around 700 ish. I have looked all over NO JOKE!
