Default 98 Ranger

So My grandfather has a ranger hes looking to sell, so I was wondering what people thought would be a fair asking price.

1998 Ford Ranger
Regular Cab
Fleetside Bed
4 Cyl 5 Speed
4x2
60K Miles
Body is in beautiful shape
Frame is rotted, brake lines need to be replaced.
Located in central Massachusetts.

Whats a fair price? $500? $1,000? $1,500?

Unhappy Re: 98 Ranger

Rotted frame & bad brake lines will be the killer of the price, so in its present condition, even with only 60k, $500 would be tops IMO.

The frame is on its way out. Its in good enough shape that it would still pass inspection but not for too many more years.

I finally got some pictures and the full details.

1998 Ranger
4 Cyl, 5 Speed
58,256 Miles
The frame is still passable for inspection.
Two brake lines are rusted.
The Fuel Tank support strap is rusted and needs replacement.
One shackle is broken
The rims have a good amount of rust (Still hold air though)

The body and interior is in great shape and the drivetrain is solid as it ever was. This would be a great parts truck or a good work truck if someone put the time into it.
