so excited im going to look at a truck today

[elijahboy]

it might be one that some of you laugh at

you call that a truck shoot thats a toy

but im getting closer to moving to those 10 acres (june) so its time to start looking

02 ford ranger ext cab v6 3ltr (unfortunately) 146k miles for only 4250 and im gonna try to talk him down to 38

Not laughable--here on my three acres, a truck is a necessity. from hauling garbage and water, getting feed at the feed store, hauling hay, and pulling a horse trailer, it is a definite necessity. We got by with our jeep for two years, pulling a utility trailer behind it, or the water trailer, but having a truck sure makes life easier.
Good luck on trying to get the price down.

While I can creatively cram more in a hatchback that seems physically possible, and even though I am in the burbs, I REALLY miss having a truck. Hubby did get an old Jeep Cherokee just recently so that helps a bit, but I miss having a 4x4.

I will fess up, I drive the truck in our family. I will not let my hubby take the truck he drives the car With 10 acres you will find it a necessity not a luxury with all the stuff you will need to haul and accumulate.
I having my own and not having to beg, borrow and ummm go without.

Congratulations!!! I am hoping that some day if I ever get a new or new to me car, it will be a truck. Seems like life would be so much easier.

2001 Ford Ranger ext cab, etc. here. It is not as good on gas as the previous 1990 Ranger, but a good vehicle.
Good for you! Hope you can negotiate that down- it is a buyer's market, especially this time of year. I know a few that have been trying to sell without success, of course one is a convertible, lol.

well test drove it and like it but dont love it

i have 3 kids and those flip down seats just dont seem big enough for a kid 12+ years

however its got a nice body still, he just replaced the entire a/c system the battery is only a year old the tires have 1/4 of the life used and the truck is lifted so i guess its considered an off road

just that 146k miles is scary on an 8 yr vehicle maybe its just the shock value from my car only being 6 years old with a whopping 65k miles

i sent him an offer of 3650 cause i want to get the truck for 3800 keep your fingers crossed for me

Pah! I live in a little town and we still NEED a truck! We have the Baja and a Toyota Tundra 4x4, but we're trading the Tundra in on a Nissan Titan 4dr 4x4. Like I said, we need a full size 4x4 truck, but, we also need the extra space in the back for the kids, lol.

Anyways, good luck with getting a good deal!

Hey, this fall I bought a 1980 Ford 4x4 (yeah, the 4x4 works fine).......for $200

4 speed on the floor.

It's in rough shape, but who cares? For what I use it for, it is fine.

Heck, even if I just use it to teach the kids how to drive a stick shift....for $200 it is worth it!

We paid $3k for my 96 F-250 diesel. (240 000 km). sure wish it was a 4x4, I got stuck in the driveway two days ago.
