4x2, 90,000 miles, 3.0 V6, 5 speed auto, a/c, reg cab, 118" wb, 15" wheels, with larger 10" rear brake drums... Monroe AirMax adjustable shocks, tranny cooler
Owner pulled a 3,000 lbs pop-up camper (still in his driveway) about 3,000 miles per year, the rest of the driving was basically commuting, errands, etc. The truck is very clean. The owner has all service records.
It has two bad tires and two tires that could pass, but not by much. I'd have to do all 4. He told me it needs front pads and rotors. The rear brake shoes were only done once, around 70,000 he told me. That's when the front struts were replaced too.
Assuming nothing else is wrong, is this worth the $5,000 asking price? Should I offer less? Should I let this go?
I have a small nursery. I drive about 15-18,000 per year, maybe 20,000 if things pick up for us. I have two trailers, a 4x7 2,000 lbs and a 5x10 2,990 lbs trailer. At any time, one or the other is hooked up to my 1998 S10 with 2.2 4cyl. It has 160,000 miles and more problems than the Ranger. It burns/leaks a quart of oil in a week or 1,000 miles. The thing is just beat.
I could pay the $5,000 out of pocket. I could cover the first $1,000 in repairs out of pocket. Anything beyond that is going to end up on my Visa card, which I really don't want to do. Thanks for your advice.
