#62 of 67 my first ranger by flipbish Nov 25, 2008 (6:41 pm)
Just picked up an01 Ranger XLT Flareside, 2 wd, 4 drs with 97k miles. It has the 3.0 6cyl with AT. Not the fastest thing I've driven but at least it will hold speed on the highway with cruise set.(unlike my dads 2000 S-10, 4cyl- what a dog!). But I digress, I paid $5000 for the truck from a private seller (no tax) and the thing looks and drives great. What do Y'all think? Did I do OK? Replies to this message: xscout (Nov 27, 2008 4:50 pm)

Replying to: flipbish (Nov 25, 2008 6:41 pm) If it looks and drives great I think you did OK! Used vehicles are generally a better buy if you can find one in great shape. I decided to go new because with the rebates going on right now it was not much more than what a used late model would have been with the four cylinder and manual. I wanted that combo for the gas mileage. I averaged 27.4 mpg on my first tank!
#64 of 67 Great 08 Ranger deals by pt10909 Dec 03, 2008 (3:35 pm)
I bought a 08 ranger 4x2 4 cylinder .Bare bones except for the cd/mp3 player. Xm satellite radio with 6 months subscription is included. I ordered it from a dealer 300 miles away. Why? 300 miles away? Cause i'm not crazy about white. Asked the dealer to eat the 495.00 doc fees. Said he couldn't budge on that. I said I'm not going to pay that kind of money for someone to walk to the printer. So we parted our ways and I pondered a white one close to home. Half hour later phone rings. Guess who? "We will deduct the price of the vehicle by 495.00." Total price not including taxes 10,990.00 The vehicle should arrive tomorrow. I hate the games you have to play with these dealers, but at 59,I"m starting to get good at it. These are canadian prices.... or should I say Pesos?......

#66 of 67 nice little truck by pt10909 Dec 05, 2008 (4:03 pm)
The fellow from the dealership arrived yesterday. I drove him to where he wanted to go and he filled it up for me. The truck had 519 KM's showing on the odometer. Or if you rather 321 miles. I wasn't paying attention to the price per litre, but I'm guessing 88 cents. He did tell me it was 36 dollars. 4.54 litres to canadian gallon...3.78 litres to american gallon . I figured it at 35.66 miles to the gallon. Truck still had about a quarter tank before he filled it. Can't complain about that mileage. The list price was $16,014 plus the $495.00 doc fees . So at $10990.00 I quess that was a pretty good deal. The cd/mp3/sattelite radio is well worth the extra money. $325.00 here in canada. Just wish it had heated mirrors.....oh well.....

Replying to: pt10909 (Dec 03, 2008 3:35 pm) I bought basically the same thing in May 2008 for $15,900 in Kingston, Ont (again, Canadian prices). It's a 2008 4x2 4 cylinder 5-speed stripper - the only option was AC. If I had to do it all over again, I'd spring for the club cab so there would be room for the passenger seat to recline a little. $5,000 drop in price in 6 months is a little painful to hear about, but I was in a bind. My '94 Volvo 240 left me stranded one too many times and I needed to replace it that day, or start walking. I'm happy with the truck - I drive mostly on secondary roads at 50 mph and am getting in the high 30's for mpg. It doesn't see freeway travel much, but if I keep the speed limit in sight, I can get 38 mpg. Basically, it does what I bought it to do, and it was the cheapest 4 cyl available at the time.
