Sticker Shock or I'm too cheap ?!?!?
As I continue my search for a nice Ranger daily driver I can't believe some of the prices people are asking. I just looked at an 2004 auto, 4x4, 3.0 with 63000 miles, regular cab. Great condition ,some maintenance history. They are asking 10,000. Are these trucks holding their value that much ? I made what I thought was a reasonable offer and was laughed at.

Sticker Shock or I'm too cheap ?!?!?
Pick up prices are ridiculous now, I have a 2004 Ranger edge with 158,000 miles no rust no rust four-wheel-drive I would probably ask five to start for mine.this is a New England. 10k seems a bit high

what did you offer? The ranger market is HOT right now.
also if you think that is a lot of money, look at the new 2019 model. 44 grand

$44,000.....even with big discounts, good luck with that Ford.
For big money I would expect a V6 and not a 2.3 ecoboost.

and the rear seats in a crew cab only have as much room as a supercab F150.(which you can get for about the same price)

Re: Sticker Shock or I'm too cheap ?!?!?
3 months ago I paid $8500 for a 2002 edge 4x4 4d 4.0 1 owner(he was 60 years old when he bought it so it was taken care of) with 68900 miles no rust very clean no dents carfax with all history, but that was what I was looking for. The carfax had the value at $9200 he wanted $8900 talk down to $8500.
A 2004 4x4 with 63000 miles could be $9000 to 10,000.
IMO

Crew cabs are good for Uber use, but supercabs are more widely used for work.

Re: Sticker Shock or I'm too cheap ?!?!?
7 years ago I paid 13K for my 06 FX4 level II with 60k miles.
I could sell it no problem locally for around 8-10K and it has twice the mileage now.
rangers are holding value strangely well.

Re: Sticker Shock or I'm too cheap ?!?!?
Ok so i have looked at the 2004 Ranger single cab that i mentioned previously. Has 61345 miles. Carfax has two previous owners, 3.0l, automatic. Nice service history. Would you guys hesitate to buy this as your everyday daily driver ? Perhaps i'm getting too cautious as i get older but just appreciate any advice. thanks

If the price is right, buy it! The 3.0 is underpowered compared to the 4.0, but is more reliable. If 20 mpg max is OK, it's waiting for you.

10k for a reg cab even with 63k miles is high. these trucks are holding their value. the suggestion of 8800. is a good one. do it.
