Is 102,000 miles alot for a used 1997 Ford Ranger???

Question

Im thinking about purchasing a used Ford Ranger XLT. It is a decent price ($2300) for the XLT. I was just wondering how much life is left in this vehicle, just based soley on mileage. Anyone have experience with older Ford Rangers??

If so, what problems should I look for down the road??

Answer 1

If it's a 6, it should last well over another another 100,000.

Answer 2

I was the original owner of a 1999 Mazda, which is a mechanical twin of a Ford Ranger, built on the same assembly line.  In my case, I had a 4 cylinder, 2.5 liter engine, manual transmission.  I ended up selling it with 152,000 miles on it and never had any mechanical problems with it - in fact, I hadn't even changed the brake rotors!  So...I think they are very reliable, based on my experience.

Answer 3
