I'm back, baby!

I wish it were under better circumstances, but I'm back in the Ranger community. My old Dad just turned 83, and he's got late stage prostate cancer, which has metastasized to his bones. He told me I should make him an offer on his 2001 2wd extended cab 3.0L AT Ranger. I have a daughter who needs to start driving, so...I guess she's starting off with a Ranger. At least I won't need to worry about her driving fast, right?

The truck needs nothing but a good wash/wax/vacuum and maybe a set of tires, as the old ones are over 7 years old, but still have good tread. I know it's been maintained, so definitely a bonus over buying from a stranger.

Well you never mentioned how much you paid for the truck?? you started the story off good and didn't finish it lol. Looks like a good truck. Hope you have less issues than my 2wd, 3.0, AT, ext cab ranger lol. I just replaced a list of things only to keep having stalling issues. That's my luck though.

I'm almost ashamed of what I gave for it...way below market, but top of our 1st car budget. $1500. I told him there was no heartburn if he wanted to sell it to someone else for more. He said he could certainly get more for it, but he'd have to work harder at it. Good old Dad.

So far he's doing well, all things considered, but he's fading fast. No pain though, which the doctor can't explain. Chalk one up to the grace of God. He's in good spirits. Figures at 83, something's gonna get him one way or another.

I'll post a pic when I get it cleaned up.
