Picked this up for $3400 this weekend… did I do okay?

1999 4x4 manual 5-speed, my first truck. 149,000 miles.

It’s beautiful! If it runs well, you definitely got a good deal! Congrats and enjoy it!

149k miles, 4x4, manual, and extended cab for $3400? You did amazing! Hope I find a deal like this one day.

Totally! Almost feels like a humble brag. Super nice find!

Great deal. Around here, dealerships want $15k+ for Rangers this old.

Wow. I have a 2003 rear-wheel 3.0L extended cab with 88,000 miles and a newly rebuilt engine. Wonder what it’s worth?

@Raiden
You mean 2.3L?

Nope, 3.0.

That’s a great deal, especially for a 4x4!

I bought an F150 for $3500, but honestly, Rangers are super reliable and fun to drive in manual. Good choice!

You’ll probably get another 400k miles out of it.

Yeah, you did really well. That blue looks great! Welcome to the club.

For a second I thought you were calling the truck a ‘blue dude.’ OP should totally call it that!

I might’ve needed a comma there, but honestly, it works both ways. Blue Dude it is!

Looks good, but I’d get a mechanical inspection just to be sure.

Love it! Does it have a lift? Looks like 33” tires.

Yeah, it’s got a lift.

You did great, especially with the 4x4 and extended cab. I hated my single cab Ranger… too cramped for hunting trips.

Doesn’t look bad for that price. I assume it’s the 3.0 V6? Hard to find a 4x4 manual that cheap.
