1997 Ford Ranger with only 55,054 miles by original owner (me) - 4 Brand new tires with 0 miles on each- Brand new battery installed - 0 Hours on it- New Shocks on Rear- New Shocks for the front (Not installed yet -still in box)- Non smoking truck- Never driven by anyone other than me- It's been sitting in my driveway for a year since I bought a new Chevy Silverado- I was going to restore it but after a couple of weeks and several bruised knuckles, I decided that I hate working on cars What's wrong with it: - Damage on driver's side - front fender/driver's door/hood How did this happen?- I did not wreck it...Believe it or not, a stupid deer ran into me.- I paid a guy who works at a body shop and who was highly recommended by a neighbor to fix the damage. Don't ever pay someone before they complete the work. He started the work but never showed up after I gave him the money. If I were going to keep the truck, I would make the following repairs:- Driver's side fender needs restored but I would just replace it since fenders are so cheap- Driver's side door needs restored. I would either have it repaired by a reputable body shop or have it replaced if the price were reasonable- Hood has minor damage because the auto shop who did an oil change did not properly close the hood and it popped up as I was driving home. Now it has a dent and the hood latch needs to be replaced.- The rear bumper has rust on the left side. I would not waste any money trying to repair the bumper. I would simply buy one since they are cheap. I haven't driven it in over a year but it ran perfect when I last did. I just installed a new battery but all of the fluids should be changed. I am selling it as is because I have no interest in doing any repairs or restoration. It is being priced accordingly. There are only 55,054 miles on it and every one of those miles were driven by me. I bought the truck brand new in 1997. I just checked its value on Kelley Blue Book and it says that the truck is worth $3,076 in fair condition. My truck is in very good condition except for the items that I listed above. Please note that this truck has not been driven in over a year. The gas is over a year old as are all of the other fluids in the truck. All of these fluids will need to be changed before putting this truck back on the road. This truck only has 55,000 on it an ran great when I stopped driving it but I want anyone bidding to understand that they will need to do a little work before they can just drive the truck away. Please bid accordingly. I have listed this truck low because I have no interest in doing any of this work. Cash only. On May-03-18 at 12:46:08 PDT, seller added the following information: I have been receiving a lot of E-Mails asking me whether the truck runs so I want to make it very clear that this truck has been sitting in my driveway for over a year and has not been started in that entire time. It has just been sitting there. There is no way that this truck is going to just start by turning the key. I don't want anyone to have any misunderstanding about this. You WILL need to do some work to get this truck started and to get this truck ready for the road. You WILL absolutely need to drain the old gas out of it and replace it with fresh gas. You WILL need to replace the fluids and maybe even a belt. I am not a mechanic but I would assume that when a vehicle has been sitting this long, you have to replace more than just the stale gas. Will it need new spark plugs? I don't know. I don't know what is involved in getting a vehicle ready to start after it has been just sitting like this. I do however know that I have no interest in doing any of this work and that is why I am selling it and that is why I am have listed it so cheap. This Truck has really low miles and brand new tires and a new battery but it will require some work to get it ready for the road. If this is the kind of vehicle that you are looking for, then this is a great deal for you. If you want something that you can drive away, this is not the truck for you. This is a 21 year old truck with low miles in pretty decent shape. Once it is restored and put back on the road, you will have a nice little truck. It will however take some work to get it started and ready to drive. Please bid accordingly. If this is not what you are expecting, then you should not consider this vehicle.
