Buying a Ranger

I am looking into buying a ranger. I have found a 2003 FX4 LVL II for 10k with 97,000 miles. Does this sound like a decent deal? Let me know if i left anything out.

Thanks,

*mainly just wondering if 97k is high or low for this year ranger.

Thats a horrible deal. I bought my ranger when it was 5 years old with 90k miles for 6500, out the door.

V6, Supercab, 4x4 all the goodies, off road package, same as the one your describing.

Now thats a good deal if your talking about pesos hahahaha.

A Level 2 is pretty rare, even on the 03 models. Post pics of the truck if you can

What color is the interior

A manual tranny & transfer case aren't necessary for a Level II. Mine doesn't have them...

I thought they did.

Either way, he's missing the tow hooks.

For 10K, it isn't worth it

$10K is the ASKING price from the dealer. If it looks good and is in good condition (subject to a thorough inspection by a reputable mechanic), then offer the dealer what you think that it's worth. Be sure to get to know the market value or going rate of that type of truck by checking the Net....local prices vary.

Unless the dealer is willing to knock at least 3K off. It won't be worth it

I bought from Lacy once. Never do it again. They don't stand by nothing. Look it over as it has prolly been wrecked and bought at auction.
