So the section rules say older than 2000 only in here, I consider this retro ish, a good fun rear wheel drive pickup. I love cruising round it in. To save me half an hour I have pretty much copy pasted this from my ebay ad.
For sale is my Ford Ranger single cab pickup truck. Selling due to purchase of a van. This truck is pretty much the same as the bulletproof Mazda B2500
I purchased this vehicle on 08/01/2011. I have used it for moving motorcycles and day to day stuff like popping to the shops. Its not been used that much during the time that I have owned it as most of the time I work 12 hour days and get picked up in a works van. It has covered around 4000 miles in the 2 and a bit years I have owned it.
Good stuff
Recently passed its mot with 1 advisory, N/S rear tyre is getting close to the limit (its got a good 1000-2000 mile left I think). MOT'D till April 2014
Taxed till end of June
2011 Had 2 brand new front tyres, done less than 4000 miles so have loads of tread
2011 New windscreen fitted
2011 New seat covers fitted
2012 New Sony CD player with aux input for mp3/ipods
2012 2 new door speakers fitted, can't remember the make, but they were decent ones, JBL or Sony
2012 New battery £90
2012 autumn, new oil, oil filter and air filter fitted by myself ( The truck has done around 1000 miles since the oil change )
Previous owner to me fitted a chrome roll bar at £130 and a bed liner at £170
Previous owner fitted bullet hole stickers, along one side so it looks like its been shot up. Not everyones cup of tea, but I left them on as I get loads of people pointing and smiling when I pull up at the shops or for fuel.
Bad stuff
Passenger electric window doesnt work
Passenger electric window didn't work, I fitted one from a Mazda pick, which was 100% fit so I glued it into place, the outer doesnt move, but works fine and the glass moves and gives the view that it should
Body work is battered and knocked all over the van as seen in the pictures. The left side is not too bad. The right side is worse, particularly where the door meets the wing, it has some very strange dents. In very heavy rain, a little rain can sometimes get into the cab through that gap.
There is a gap in the tail gate, one side opens with the handle, other side has a bolt in the inside
Front indicator is held on with tie wraps and a little loose but works fine and hasn't bothered me in over 2 years
In strong winds the alarm sometimes can go off
Some info from the MOT tests while I have owned it
2011 Passed no problems
2012 Passed but needed 3 brake pipes replaced and a shackle bush
2013 Passed but 1 advisory for the rear tyre as mentioned above
To sum it up, its a nice truck, it drives 100% and the mechanical side is spot on too. Its just had a few knocks to the body work before I owned it. Its not the fastest thing in the world, but will sit at 70 mph all day, it will push up to 80 and more, but it feels smooth and happy at 70. I would prefer anyone who wants to buy this truck, to come and view it/test drive it, so they can see exactly what it is. Its a great truck that drives good and is 100% reliable, but I want to be honest and let any potential buyer know that visually its not the best. There is loads of room in the back, 2 motorbikes would fit in no problem, it would be ideal for moving things from houses or put to work as a builders truck.
Priced at £900, I am open to near offers as we all like to haggle a deal
The truck is at my home address in the LS15 area of Leeds. Cash on collection only please, I will not accept paypal on this truck due to the various scams that can be done on paypal. Any buyer will be asked to fill in the V5 which I will send off and I will give the new buyer the green V5C slip. Any questions or to view, please get in touch via ebay or 07513 003 624, texts are best as I spend a lot of my day driving so I am unable to answer the phone, but I can reply to texts when I pull over. Anyone wanting a test drive must have their own insurance, as mine has been swapped to my new van, so I can't take anyone out for a drive in it myself. But if you are happy to leave a deposit and bring insurance then I am fine for anyone to take it out for a drive around.
