I dont have credit either :/ I always payed in cash for everything large I've bought... Have anyone else that you could have it purchased in their name? I did my truck through my mom lol

No, not really. I live on my own, and I really want to be independent, not really a pride thing I swear! Hahaha.

I made payments on my truck, but that was through a co-worker, so that worked awesome.

Depends, you say you do a lot of driving so i'd say sell.

BUT

4400$ for a 1995 entry level acura integra, you could get a much newer car that'll be much more efficient with gas for that price. Also 25 mpg is the rating the lower models 1.8 (RS or LS, i forget) got in 1995, and it's not going to be that much now unfortunately.

Don't forget carfax works with information voluntarily submitted to them, there are plenty of damaged and rebuilt vgas on there that don't tell the tale.

Keep it and buy a motorcycle. Any Mass transit available for your travels? I cut my gas bill by 2/3 just buy taking the train everyday now. Sure it takes longer, but I can sleep during my commute now

I say keep the Ranger till you get that warm fuzzy feeling when you find your next ride. That Acura is a $2K car all day long...

Not sure what cities are near you but at $4400 you should be looking at a 97-99 Integra

I have to go with the keep it vote. You might get better milage with the car but when you actually need to transport something you will be glad you had the truck. Also from the pic it looks like it's in really nice shape. You stated that you may tend to drive a little faster with the car as well so what you save in gas you will end up spending in raised insurance because of speeding tickets lol.

keep it and just fix w-e issues with it. you could buy a used car, but even that one will have issues esp a 1995. So it would be a bad investment IMO
