Actually this is the other less driven Ranger that we have. It's a 1993 2.3 5-spd very similar in style to my 98 but it's a 5-Speed. It's an XLT but has almost no worthwhile options except a/c. But even if we tried to sell it privately it would be hard to get $500 because of how rough it is. Mechanically it all works for the most part. But the engine, transmission, rear end, suspension have either 350,000 or 450,000 miles on it. We lost count because the odometer doesn't have the sixth digit like they did on the later models. The interior is trashed. Carpet is torn, seat is missing the armrest bin and is torn all the way across the driver's seat, the shifter is missing the knob and is sloppy. The fuel gauge doesn't work, the a/c quit working because of some leaks. The body is the worst. It was hit on the passenger side and it pushed in on the fender and door right at the gap so the door doesn't open easily. The bed on the same side has a huge dent where it was hit. The bumper is missing the trim up front and now the grille is missing. The wiper motor burned up again. It's mostly used as a yard truck. So before I shell out $200 for an NOS cable if I can even find one now I'm going to try to make it work. Or worst case scenario the repair shop I go to said he could make a new one for over half that price. Right now it seems to be working the way I've got it. I seriously doubt someone would be willing to pay $1000 for it once you see it.
