Selling my 1997 Ford Ranger XLT with only 49k miles.

This is a 1997 Ford Ranger XLT with 2.3L 4-cylinder engine and a 5-speed manual transmission with very low mileage for it's year - just under 49k miles.

I have owned this truck for the past 4 years, owned but not really driven. Bought it back in 2010 and drove it from Florida here to Georgia and then used it for couple of months here around town, putting less than 1000 miles to it. In mid 2010 I have left and spent the last 3 and 1/2 years abroad. During that time the truck was parked in the garage. I have now decided to offer it for sale since I will be leaving again and perhaps it would be better if this truck actually served someone else. This is an XLT trim, so it comes equipped with the following options: rear sliding window, bucket seats, alloy wheels, ABS, driver airbag, radio with CD and four speakers, power steering, air conditioning.

Mechanically, the truck is in excellent condition. The engine starts right up and runs smoothly, the transmission is tight and the clutch is good, a/c blows cold. The all season Firestone tires have plenty of thread left as well. After I bought the truck in 2010, I changed the oil, oil filter and air filter (they have less than 500 miles on them). I also replaced the spark plugs at that time. I also did a few other small upgrades: upgraded the rearview mirrors to larger and better looking ones (from a later model Ranger), replaced the original orange front turn signals with white ones (still have the original mirrors and turn signals). I also installed four bull-ring retractable truck bed anchor points and bough new interior color matching floor mats. Everything on the truck works as supposed to with the only exception being the fuel gauge, it always shows empty but this is a fairly common issue with Rangers.

Cosmetically, the truck is in very good condition, there are some small dings and scratches on the truck bed (visible on pictures) and one scratch running from passenger door to truck bed (pictured separately). The paint is all original and in very good condition, there is no rust, this is a southern car, been all it's life. The truck bed underneath the liner is as good as new (pictured). See the pictures and make your own judgement.

This truck is ready to be driven and serve for many more years. There are not that many left with such low mileage. With its 4-cylinder engine it's also quite good on gas. I have the title in hand. If you have any questions, just ask.


Terms and Conditions:
The vehicle is sold AS-IS, WHERE-IS. I will not ship/deliver. Buyer is responsible for pickup or shipping. Any shipping must be arranged and paid for by the buyer. Full payment required within 7 days after end of listing. I accept cash in person when picking up the car or bank wire transfer.

Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang to cost $52,995?

Mon, Dec 1 2014

The 2015 Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang was one of the shining stars of this year's Los Angeles Auto Show. And the Blue Oval's latest muscle car might even have reason to burn a little brighter if a recent rumor about its price proves true. Best of all are rumors that an even more potent version of the Shelby is potentially on the way. According to Horsepower Kings citing unnamed Ford sources at the LA Auto Show, the 2015 GT350 carries a starting price of $52,995, and the Tech package adds a further $2,995 on top of that. There's also the claim of a Track package for an undisclosed price. However, it doesn't look like LA is the last we'll see of the newest Shelby because the source also alleges that a top-rung GT350R is under development with bigger brakes, modified aerodynamics and sportier tires. This rubber-burner is reported to be unveiled at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit in January. Assuming these claims are correct, it puts the Shelby in fighting form against its two Chevrolet Camaro rivals. Ford reports that the GT350's 5.2-liter V8 pumps out over 500 horsepower and more than 400 pound-feet of torque. At $52,995, it would undercut by a couple of grand the $55,505 (before destination) base price of the 580-hp 2015 ZL1. The super 'Stang might also beat the 505-hp Z/28 with its power rating, while being vastly cheaper than the track-focused Camaro's $72,305 price. This could be quite the performance shoot-out.

Ford Police Interceptor with 2.0L EcoBoost rated most fuel-efficient police sedan

Tue, 26 Nov 2013

Back in September, Ford announced a non-pursuit version of its Police Interceptor Sedan, which swaps out a choice of two V6 engines for a fuel-efficient 2.0-liter EcoBoost inline four-cylinder. This Special Service Police Sedan will be marketed to law enforcement agencies looking to cut fuel costs and don't need the extra power.
For college campuses, detectives and the like, this new police car has now been certified with EPA fuel economy estimates of 20 miles per gallon in the city, 32 mpg on the highway and a combined rating of 24 mpg. These figures represent a decrease of two mpg in city and combined ratings compared to the civilian-spec 2014 Taurus. These police cars still offer active grille shutters for better aerodynamics, although we're guessing agencies upfitting their cars with light bars and push bumpers aren't exactly concerted with aerodynamics. The true benefit of the SSP version is when it's compared against other police sedan options like the Dodge Charger, Chevy Impala, Chevy Caprice and even the V6 Police Interceptor Sedan.
Ford claims the new Police Interceptor Sedan SSP is the most fuel-efficient current option for police departments, saying that this car can save $1,720 per car over three years and almost $260,000 over the same span of time for fleets with 150 vehicles. There is an official press release posted below, and also check out the gallery of images from Ford collected from various police agencies across the US (although none show the 2.0-liter SSP model). Head on over to Ford's Police Interceptor mini-site for even more pictures of the Police Interceptor Sedan and Utility.

More than half of Mazdas sold in 2018 are CX-5s, and other interesting sales facts

Mon, Jan 7 2019

Last year was a seriously good year for carmakers. Overall, more vehicles were sold than in 2017, and the total number wasn't far off of the all-time record in 2016. Digging deeper into the numbers, you'll find some pretty usual stuff including the Ford F-Series still being the bestselling pickup truck in America, and a continued trend toward crossovers. But there are also some oddball factoids tucked in these sales reports, some that defy the trends, and some that are extremes of the public's buying preferences. We've compiled several interesting tidbits from last year's sales right here for your enjoyment. More than half of Mazda's sales were of CX-5s Yes, over half of all Mazda sales were of this one model. The company sold 300,325 cars in America last year, and 150,622 of them were CX-5 crossovers, or 50.1 percent. Just for emphasis, that means the other 49.8 percent of Mazda's sales were split among five other models, the Miata, 3, 6, CX-3 and CX-9. Breaking that down further, the second-best seller was the Mazda3 at 64,638, which isn't even half of the CX-5's sales. People are crazy for Mazda's middle crossover. Volkswagen actually sold more cars than crossovers It's clear that the crossover is the future king of car sales. For most mainstream brands, it already is. Chevy, Ford, Honda, Toyota, Subaru, Mazda and Nissan all sold more crossovers and SUVs than they did conventional sedans and hatchbacks. There are holdouts, though, and one of them is Volkswagen. At the end of 2018, the company sold 189,343 cars and 164,721 crossovers in the U.S. So that's one win for the classic car set, and it's justification for VW to maintain its car line for the foreseeable future. It's a bit of a hollow victory, though. Look closer and you'll see that car sales were down 28 percent from 2017, when VW sold 262,029 cars. Crossovers, on the other hand, jumped 112 percent from 2017 when 77,647 crossovers moved through U.S. dealers. So expect the tables to turn very soon. Mustang is still the muscle-car sales king, but Challenger is the only one to improve Once again, the Ford Mustang topped the muscle-car sales charts, beating out the Dodge Challenger and Chevy Camaro. Ford moved 75,842 of the ponies in 2018, while Dodge sold 66,716 Challengers for second place, and Chevy sold 50,963 Camaros to bring up the rear.
