Greetings and Salutations
I have a 1990 Ford Ranger: a basic, stock, un special truck with a shell on it and two major dents (They're not obvious, but someone before me took a hit.) It's got 200,000 miles on it, needs tires, brakes, probably rotors, and I don't know what all might show up in a close inspection. There are some rattles in the engine, which could just be it needs "purging", but it uses oil. Doesn't burn it, just does something with it (Sends it Haliburton?) I'd like a more recent model of the same basic truck. As I say "Manual tranny, four cylinder, extended cab (for the ever important space to stuff 'stuff'), 4x2, not red, not black, nor 'road spray grey'." I realize that buying second hand limits my options, but ...
But, what is the consensus? Keep and save for a replacement, or replace it now?
Oh yeah, I had to replace the radio; I put in an AM/FM CD player with MP3 capacity, so it is not a bad truck to drive.
