It had 50,000 miles on it when I bought it. It was a dark green color, which I really liked. It was all stock except for the stereo and speakers, which was nice. Still ran really well, had new sparks and plugs and a recent oil change at the time of purchase. It was really clean looking, like beyond what someone would do for presentation, it was a sign to me that the previous owner took care of this vehicle.

I love that itÕs dependable and a stick shift. It does everything I want except for carry a lot of people as itÕs regular cab. I might have spent 200 in repairs total in the 13 years IÕve owned it. I also owned a BMW M3 but much prefer my Ranger. ItÕs cheap to fix, and I can floor the Ranger without worrying about going over 100mph before I can utter the word arrested. Also, I feel comfortable parking wherever I want, itÕs not an exotic or fancy car so if someone opens the door on it doesnÕt ruin my day. Also, itÕs pretty easy on gas mileage. The engine is even better than previous models because it has a timing chain rather than belt, so even though IÕm at almost 200k miles, IÕm not too worried about it breaking down due to a timing belt breaking. Again, everything is cheap, I can get a full set of tires for a little over 100 dollars, for my M3 IÕd be lucky to get by for 1,000. The car insurance is also cheap and I still canÕt get over the original price tag was just 12k. What can you put 200k miles on, drive for 13 years and it only depreciate 6k, not many, not many at all.
