So I found a 2004 Ford Ranger with 32,000 miles on it. It’s been parked for 4 years. The guy had a recall done on the airbag and when he got it home from the dealer the battery died. Put a new battery in it and that was dead the next day so he parked it. It has some paint peeling on the roof and hood. Interior is immaculate. AC, no pwr windows, 4cyl manual, no major damage. The guy bought it new.
I figure it needs full tune up, belts etc. new tires. A good clean up but the mystery is the battery issue. It’s just tough to price it with the unknowns. KBB has it 5200-7100 in fair condition. I’m thinking no way. He paid $13K for it new. Trying to find a good price to offer thinking it will cost me a couple thousand to get it running. Then you still have the paint issues.
