It's a 98 4.0 5 speed 110,00 miles
Runs and drives fine
Needs front end (i was gunna do an 01+ swap)
New rear end (They have one at my yard was there today)
Driver door and ext cab door and drivers bedside
I can get all parts for around 1,000 and do the labor myself.
What do you guess think is a fair price? I know what he wants but i want to see what you say.
I need some opinions!!!!
thanks

$200-$500 max

Ranger01 02-21-2010 12:10 AM

Alright i want a few more opinions before i say the price. The lowest KBB for a base model is 2600

i have bought wrecks its either good or a shit storm that one doesnt look good

ObsoleteE 02-21-2010 12:15 AM

For the work that needs and considering its 12 years old, I would say 1k or less.

Ranger01 02-21-2010 12:16 AM

I bought my truck wrecked that's why i wanted another to work on. This one will take more time but i think i can make it happen. My yard just got a 99 4x4 off road 5 speed in untouched i could use the parts off of that and the guy gives me great deals...but its red

I know it needs a whole new front end and body parts but they aren't hard to get a hold of

more worried about frame damage on that truck looking at the cab bed gap and missalignment

i dunno if you really want a wrecked ranger to fix up then this might be a good one for u. if you realllly want it i'd give up to say about 750ish but anything beyond that is just too much...

Magnus 02-21-2010 07:22 AM

I would go $500 nothing more is it me or does it look like the rear end was pulled from that truck?

Ranger01 02-21-2010 11:13 AM

Alright well the rear axle snapped so i am just going to put a new rear end in it...He wants 500 and that is the best he will do

unclebernie 02-21-2010 11:27 AM

I wouldn't pay two dollars for that

RangerSteve 02-21-2010 11:41 AM

I would pay no more than $500 bucks for that. Have you really driven it or does the guy just say it runs and drives fine?

Yeah, I agree with this.

How can it run and drive fine with a snapped rear axle? I'm not a certified mechanic, but I'm connecting the dots and its looking like a shitty deal.

I would dodge this bullet and keep looking.
