Should I stick with my Ford Ranger?

my uncle dan put over 400,000 on his 80's ranger. he used to laugh because he had to park it on the street because it would no longer pull his driveway. the choice is yours. remember things wear out. if you replace them yourself, its a no brainer, run the ranger to its death.

Stick with your Ranger. With these newer Fords 114,000 miles it's just getting worked in. Since you've done a lot of work on it you've pretty much fixed most of your problems. As another post mentioned when you buy a used car you are buying someone's problems. As you mentioned yourself it's a lot cheaper than putting out $300 per month, so you've basically answered your own question.

Beside the monthly payments if you buy a used vehicle you'll have to put out more money for repairs as many former owners have a habit of not maintaining their vehicles and God only knows what you are going to get stuck with. You also need to remember that when you finance a car you have to have full insurance coverage which will increase your premium and that will add to more money out of your pocket. So if your Ranger is in good shape, and you know what you have done to it, why get rid of it? As the old saying goes, "if it aint broke don't fix it."

stick with the ranger, that's a good truck and the issues you have already fixed are common and only need to be fixed once usually. they are easy to work on, and great on gas compared to newer ford trucks. sport tracs are alright, but the newer fords have some issues, i.e. the radiator in that sport trac is gonna leak, even if it was replaced before.

if it were me, i would stick with the ranger. it's probably paid off, cheap to insure, and great on gas

You reported you had the wheel became stressful to the surprising once you close up it off and pulled the foremost out..you tried turning the wheel to the left as much as you may and on an analogous time turning the ignition? changing the ignition isn't too high priced, I had it executed on my ninety 5 F250, although this is been some years in the past, i do no longer undergo in concepts precisely what it value.

look at it this way TOM ! how do you know what,s going to happen to the next vehicle ? it could be worse then the one you have now ! plus if you go in debt you still have to fix it and pay for it also ! as long as the body is still good then i say keep it as long as you can !

Just remember that when buying used your buying someone else's problems, and you know what you've done to yours. We put 300,000 on a 350 engine. Keep up on your routine maintenance's.
