Well, i will be selling my Ranger :( / :)
Brought it to a shop to have the wheels balanced and they brought me in to show me 2 small cracks in my frame and where the control arm bolts to the frame the frame has rusted through the bolt...so im driving on thin ice...errr metal.
Time to sell...a little bittersweet. Im done sinking money into this b$&#%. Ill be getting another small pickup...whether it be Tacoma, Frontier or another Ranger...all i know is it wont be an s10/sonoma!!

before you sell it...do you weld?
a lot of people grind out & fill in for things like that...i wouldn't think twice by giving that a shot on my truck, but my dad has all the tools that i'd need...welders are expensive...

Well my buddy welds...the cracks arent what bother me...its the hole rusted through around the control arm bolt. It makes me paranoid.
And its just the accumulation of everything that ive had to fix on this thing...im done dropping $$ into it every other week

my theory is its the buyers responsibility to inspect it. My last car i sold i had an offer for $1000 from a 16 year old girl and that just got her license and her father, but it was a convertible and the weatherstrips leaked when it rained so i told them i didnt want to screw her over with a POS first car (there were also a couple mechanical repairs needed)....so i sold it to a 60 year old "fix and sell" guy for $700 because he didnt even look it over...he saw the sign and said ill give you $700!
So i DO have somewhat of a conscience (sp?)..but if they are a perfectly capable and knowledgable person...its on them.
If you disagree, I completely understand...but thats my viewpoint...and thats how I see it when i buy a vehicle that i find out has problems afterwards.

Read the CL posting and feel you should of mentioned the frame issue's,the posting paints it as a ready to drive truck with no issue's not the "so im driving on thin ice...errr metal.", description you said above in the original post above,just my 2cents-be honest about it,ik id hate to be the guy that buys it,then finds out i spent 4k on a rusted trough frame truck,it could come back to bite you in the ass later.

first of all, it is ready to drive. i drive it every day.
second, im not expecting $4,000. i am going to settle for less.
third, um, when you buy a vehicle, your supposed to inspect the frame. i always look through the frames of the vehicles i buy.
lastly, i may certaintly tell them. im not definitely under no circumstances going to not say anything about it.

I think it's underhanded personally. I always inspect a vehicle, but it's always possible to miss something, especially if it's not something obvious when driving the vehicle.
