What Is This Worth?

Sorry I don't have a pic but I'll give ya a mental image.
'94 Range, reg cab, long bed, 2wd, 2.3L, auto, AC works good. Absolutely zero rust, even under doors and under the truck. A few minor scuffs in the paint. 105K miles. New plugs and wires. It has good history, I know the 2 previous owners. Runs, drives and stops real good. Will need a muffler soon.
I got him down to $2,000.
Thoughts?
Thanks for any input!!

about right, maybe a couple of hundred more that it should be but if its clean and runs as you say and you like it go for it. Particularly if you know its history.

I think it is too high. But economy trucks are worth a little more now
I got a 93 Ranger 4X4 ext cab A/T 4.0 for $2500 and it is in GREAT shape.

I bought it, paid $1,800.
It is unbelieveable how rust free it is. I crawled all over underneath it and there isn't even the beginning signs of rust on any sheet metal and the little truck drives great.

Exactly, especially when vehicles get older it is difficult to put a book value on them regardless what it is.
I figured that it will easily pay for it self in 18 months - 2 yrs with the fuel cost difference of my PSD Excursion. Not to mention the wear & tear. So when you consider stuff like that it makes it even more difficult to put a value on it.

People around here will ask 1,500.00$ for a rusted out 88 and won't bat an eye when they ask.

Bought my 94 2wd, reg cab, short box, manual in 2004. Gave $2200. 90K. Some old man had it and hauled flowers and stuff. Now the same truck with 150K around here is going for 2500-3000. Gone up in price since this summer.

I am lookin for a 2wd Splash 4.0 manual truck now, everyone wants a mint for them. Cant believe how much they have gone up.

BTW good deal on your purchase.

Need the ole 4.0 power for my next project. Rebuild, supercharged, maybe a little N2O. A truck faster than a mustang with 1/4 the insurance cost.

There a few rangers down at the strip that have 302's and 351's in them, stroked. They run in the 9's and 10's and are streetable. You can stroke a 302 out to a 347 and a 351 to at least a 427. A 4.0 with a super charger and a fogger should run 11's. Explorer express sells a super charger for the 4.0 sohc, but it's about 4 grand. Super six motor sports has some go fast parts for the 4.0.

Hey if Ford dumps the Ranger, the price could go up another tier. Unless enough people actually buy what Ford thinks we should.

Ford isn't dumping the ranger, this plateform will stay in production through 2011. In 2012 we get a brand new ranger from the ground up. It will be 4 cylinder based, which is not a bad thing as could have a 4 cylinder diesel option. Could even have a performance version with an ecco boost 275 hp 4 banger. The new ranger is being designed in austraila and you know how those aussie's feel about performance, check out thier ford falcon.
