looks good
dirty engine but the frame seems to be in good condition

 

[zukirider21]

hell yes... but why does it have a salvage title?

 

[snomaker321]

the bed says fx4 but in the description it says its an xl. It has a salvage title so i just think the bed was replaced with one off of an fx4. does that look right?

 

[Ranger Sport Honduras]

yeah prolly thats why
looks good to me

salvage titles scare alot people. They can kill resale. looks good tho. 199 for document fee seem a bit high

 

[snomaker321]

it being only an xl, what am i missing over a "fancier" model? is it mainly decorations and such?

 

[Ranger Sport Honduras]

fancy door panels, and prolly 4 speaker radio, and carpet
yours is XLT so u already know lol

 

[snomaker321]

well mine is a 9 year older xlt but i thought the only difference was shiny bumpers. lol

can anyone run a carfax on it for me?

i thought once a vehicle has a salvage title theres no way to get it back on the road? or does that vary by state?

 

[Original_Ranger84]

Yeah... a Recon. Title is road legal again if I'm not mistaken. Salvage means it it was wrecked and totalled and pulled from a yard or lost title. Basically the same as a Reconstruction title but not bu tthe people who owned the vehicle when it wrecked.

It looks like a good truck... Dirty engine bay... who cares thats cleaner then mine (and i try and wash them). The thing I'm looking at is the way it sits... the backs really jacked up and the front sits down low... not to mention the 2wd grille on it. I wanna say the front was hit tooo... and then they replaced the back springs with lifted springs?

I don't know.. just the way it sits makes me a little weary of whats actually been done to it.

 

[02RangerXLT]

Why the hell is that thing leaning so far forward? The front looks like they lowered it... either that or raised the ass end up.

 

[snomaker321]

i saw that too but i just wasnt sure if that was how is was supposed to sit. looked kinda weird to me. well thanks guys but i think im gonna pass on this one, too many questions

 

[snomaker321]

just thought id update on this, this truck was sold for $5700 and is now back up on ebay for $6988 and is listed as an fx4, which im pretty sure it really isnt.

It is definitely an XL if not an Edge model. It has a lot of the same features as my Edge but I could be wrong.
