1st post, estiimate value of this truck
 

This is my first post here at fordrangerforums (already did an intro post).

I would like a little validation on my purchase, so I will give you the details and let you estimate possible value for this truck. If you have special knowledge about this year and series of trucks, please share as it will help me know how to maintain my truck. I spent a month searching Craigslist & Ebay, with the following criteria Ranger with extended cab, man tran, V-6, less than 75,000 miles, and within my budget. I actually looked at several trucks but all were disappointing and mis-represented by their owners. Finally I found the truck below.

First you need to know what I bought a truck for, I used to fish a lot in So.Calif had 20' ocean center console, and when moved to N.Calif due to money and time practically gave up fishing. I want to buy 16-18' alum fishing boat and fish. So towing a boat, hauling for home projects, and driving to work.

I know some of you hard core 4 wheelin fans think a truck is only worthy if its going to be used in the dirt.
The below truck wasn't purchased for that use.

Here is the vehicle specs.
2002 Ford Ranger Edge, 2WD, 4.0L Man/T, 52,046 (verified) miles, Stepside bed. A/C, Tinted windows, 6 CD/MP3 Audio system, pwr steer, man windows & locks. I think it has magnaflow exhaust system. Super Clean, Body Super Clean except marks on tail gate. Truck was taken to shop and gone over by professional mechanic who said he couldn't find a thing wrong with the truck, it had been well taken care of and maintained by previous owner.
I found the truck 200 miles from home, drove home, and immediately popped hood, usually on older vehicles you can smell something that may be leaking or burning, NOTHING no smell just a warm engine. This truck drives and feels almost new, everything is tight and clean.

Below is some pics, what would you pay for this truck?

If you see spots it is most likely dirt on my camera lens.
The pontoon boat is the neighbors.

The bed cover is missing the bars that go across to keep it up

Nice truck, but that beast of a pontoon is gonna kill it (please god no).

Re: 1st post, estiimate value of this truck
 

i'd say 8k just because i don't wanna be like everybody else. haha.

Re: 1st post, estiimate value of this truck
 

I bought my 03 2wd edge a year ago for 8 even. It had 33k on the clock and not a single knick or scratch Mines the 3.0 too. I've put over 20k on it in a year and it still bluebooks for what I paid for it :)

That being said with yours being a year older and alittle higher miles and the 4.0 I would say $7500. Still below bluebook for sure!
