Re: 1996 Ford Ranger, good deal?
get a shop to go through it with a fine tooth comb before you buy it. there are several thing that affect a vehicles value such as the obvious(body, tires, winshield, milage, interior, factory options) but theres a lot of hidden things that can come back and bite you such as oil leaks, brakes, balljoints, tie-rods, bushings, exhaust, bearings, u-joints. this seems like very low milage for an 8 year old vehicle and that isn't necessarily a good thing it means either it was used for short trips which are hard on a vehicle or it's been sitting for a while, also bad because seals dry up and leak and other stuff happens. ask the owner how often it's been serviced and what work has been done to it. either way get a shop to look at it i can guarante they will find at least one minor problem and if your still serious about buying it you can use whatever they tell you in the barganing process.
hope this helps
