1997 Ford Ranger P/U Reg Cab 4 Cylinder 5 Speed Manual Transmission

1997 Ford Ranger REGULAR CAB Description

THE INTERIOR OF MY RANGER IS IN WONDERFUL CONDITION, ESPECIALLY FOR A TRUCK THAT WILL SOON BE 20 YEARS OLD. THIS IS THE SECOND RANGER REGULAR CAB, 4 CYLINDER, 5 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION FOR OUR FAMILY. THE FIRST ONE WAS GOING STRONG AT 177,000 MILES WHEN IT WAS WRECKED AND TOTALED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY.
THIS IS AN EXCELLENT STARTED VEHICLE AND IS INGOOD MECHANICAL CONDITION. ALL SYSTEMS WORK AS NEW. THE TIRES HAVE LESS THAN 20,000 MILES AND HAVE APPROXIMATELY60 % TREAD LIFE REMAINING.
THIS RANGER HAS NEVER GOTTEN LESS THAN 20 MPG IN TOWN AND GETS AROUND 25 MPG ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN NOT PULLING A TRAILER.
THE EXTERIOR PAINT IS SHOWING IT'S AGE AS I AM CERTAIN THAT THE PAINT IS THE ORIGINAL FACTORY PAINT AS THERE ARE NO INDICATIONS THAT THE TRUCK HAS EVER HAD ANY PAINT WORK. THERE IS A DENT/SCRAPE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE TRUCK (SEE THE TWO PHOTOS WHERE I POINT TO THE DENT/SCRAPE)THERE ARE DINGS OR SCRATCHES ON MOST PANELS AND NOT ALL ARE VISABLE IN THE PHOTOS.SOME ROCK CHIPS ARE VISABLE ON THE HOOD PHOTO.
PLEASE REVIEW ALL PICTURES IN DETAIL
I HAVE NOW PURCHASED A FORD F350 AND IT IS TIME FOR JUNIOR TO FIND A NEW HOME.
I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK IN EARLY APRIL OF 2014 WHEN IT HAD ONLY 46,000 MILES. THE PREVIOUS OWNER SPENT 1/2 OF THE YEAR IN THE US AND THE REMAINING 1/2 IN EUROPE AS HE HAD HOMES IN BOTH LOCATIONS AND I BELIEVE THAT THIS ACCOUNTS IN PART FOR THE LOW MILEAGE.THE TRUCK APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN GRAGED MOST OF IT'S LIFE. IT HAS NOT BEEN GARAGED DURING THE TWO YEARS I HAVE OWNED IT. THERE ARE NO INDICATIONS OF BODY RUST ON ANY OF THE PAINTED BODY PANELS.
OTHER THAN TIRES IN 2014 AND A BATTERY LAST MONTH, I HAVE NOT SPENT ANY MONEY IN REPAIRS.THE TIRES THAT I REPLACED WERE THE ORIGINAL TIRES AND WERE REPLACED NOT BECAUSE THEY WERE WORN OUT BUT DUE TO THEIR AGE. THIS RANGER, LIKE THE FIRST ONE HAS PROVED TO BE VERY RELIABLE.
