What is it worth

[Stretch]

I'm just getting into rangers and this add come up for a truck.
Here is a copy of the ad:

Make: Ford
Model: Ranger
Year: 1992
Kilometers: 225000
Colour: Grey

Date Listed: 10-Jun-09

-Truck is excellent shape and runs well.
-Standard
-New Rad, New Slave Cylinder, New tires and rims, tinted windows, New U-joint, trail package, complete body job and paint in 2009
-4x4
-4.0L V6

From what I can tell the body look pretty good, some bondo on there. Looks like he may have done it himself. Exhaust looks new also. What should I look very closely at?

Thanks for the help!

From this pick it looks good. I would swap those wheels for something a little more offroad like, although they are pretty cool.

You need to watch out for rot on the cab brackets (4 of these), the radiator core support and and brackets (2 of these), and the leaf spring perches. These are from my experience.

Good luck and welcome to TRS!

Thanks for the help. That link was great.
Have you got a ball park figure on what it would be worth? He's asking $3500CAD
Everything you mentioned appears in good condition. Frame is solid. no run in the floors or bed or cab mounts.

That is about $3000 American. I would definitely work him down in price.

Just as a comparison, look at this. You can get this for much much less and it is built to abuse: http://www.therangerstation.com/forums/showthread.php?p=461111#post461111

Real nice looking truck,, love that body style.Looks like Ont plates, I would think around $2500, is it manual or automagic?

 

[MusicManiac]

Looks nice. That boxy body style looks awesome.

Oh and kkjb4x4.0, it sounds like it is manual if he replaced the slave cyl.

Standard is manual

I'd give 1,700. but another high mileage truck isn't really a priority of mine....
