I got a ford ranger for the same price 2001 my ranger. frontshocks are also blown but my tires are good and I just changed my alternator after it went out it’s clapped out but I like it
Bought one myself recently about a month ago last June for the same price. 2.3L 5 speed with 126k miles. I put about 500 on it because I had to replace the stock starter and I wanted to fix the ac. Honestly such a good ride, and best car to learn to drive a manual. I actually bought it and drove it back home without knowing how to drive a manual. Planning on keeping it until I can't get any parts for it anymore.
Just an advice. If you want to fix your ac make sure to check for your heater control valve under the hood. If that's not the problem then blend door actuator might be the problem and that requires cutting the housing under the dash.
@@owenmiller378 If you can tackle replacing a parking brake cable you can definitely manage some basic AC diagnosis. There's videos on RUclips you can watch to help. If all it needs is a recharge you can easily do that yourself with a $25 - $50 can of refrigerant.
got a 94 with 160k, i have replaced everything except the alternator, actual motor parts, and a few other electrical things. I have completely replaced the ac and I am still having problems with it. I love the truck to death but with its age definetally comes some problems
@@PNW.sparky Sorry Bud. You see way more older Tacomas and Frontier’s than Rangers. Toyotas last, you see Tacomas with 1.6 million miles and Tundras with 1 million miles. Even the Frontier with 1 million miles. It’s on RUclips 💯 🎯
@@OmarGonzalez-gx1ks not true. I see way more older American trucks than Toyota, Nissans. Any modern vehicle will last a long time if you take care of it. I’ll support American companies any day.
Had a 94 4.0 V6 one tough little truck Danger Ranger 💪💪
Your title is correct. Every Ranger from the 90's in my area, is listed under $3000.
Even if it does have 198K, it will go another 100K if you keep up the maintenance.
Cinematography on point

Good buy sir, put $1,500 into it to get it back to square and enjoy it
$1500 for what?
@@owenmiller378 spark plugs, oil, tires ect.
How exactly is the ac broken? Sometimes it just needs a cheap recharge from autozone. I love the old truck, I hope she runs forever
i need to diagnose that fr, i might have to check autozone. how much does a recharge cost?
