Full Transmission service Oil Change New Factory NGK Plugs OEM Mann Air and cabin filters New Front Brakes with OEM Zimmerman Rotors and Ceramic pads New Rear Brakes with Zimmerman Rotors and pads New Continental Tires. New tires, new brakes, new water pump and belts Oct 2019. AM, FM, 6 disc CD, power windows, power door locks. Back up sensor, roof rack and tow hitch.Tires in good condition. Runs great and is very good condition. Single owner vehicle. Ranger has been well maintained, with all service done on time. Tires replaced in the fall, oil change and check-up within 2 months.

I've seen the same ad. Here Rangers are selling like crazy so it's not uncommon to see those ads. Usually they'll have 3 pictures of just the outside, and they'll claim super low miles like “only 56,000 original miles” and it'll be funny cause they'll list the truck as “1998 Ford Ranger 4.0 standard” and you'll look and it's a 2004 with the 3.0 and an automatic lol.

Pic taken through a wire mesh fence, or possibly a cage - the guy obviously needs to be in one!

picture was taken from a piece of paper that had been folded up and in somebodies pocket.......
What a steal! Factory NGK plugs!!!!
Please tell me where to wire the money, overseas account is fine with me as soon as they have my certified butcoin funds they promise to release the vehicle to me at the port of entry! Sounds soooooo good I  cannot get my money out fast enough. Cloth seat heaters? whoa that was a really really rare option in 06 Rangers.
