1999 Ford Ranger Xlt Sport on 2040-cars
Yonkers, New York, United States
In nearly 13 years and more than 110,000 miles, my 1999 Ranger Sport has never let me down, but my life is changing and my vehicles are changing with it, so I'm putting the old girl on the block. Bought this truck in 2001 and have changed the oil every 3K miles, attended to whatever needed to be done, and kept all the maintenance records to prove it: Serpentine belt at 52K, shocks and struts at 70k, ball joints at 82K, Idle Air Control Valve, front rotors, calipers and pads, rear pads, four new tires and alignment at 111,000K and a PCV valve, spark plugs and NYS inspection at 117,600.
The truck comes with an aftermarket moonroof that is removable for full sun, a set of fitted seat covers, a folding tonneau cover and best of all, a Shurtrax "bladder" for extra traction in bad weather. This is a 4X2 truck but you fill the bladder with water in November and it freezes, forming a 300 lb weight right over the rear axle. It's fitted to the bed and works great. Much better than sand bags or bricks. This truck has a clean CARFAX establishing ownership and mileage, and is accident free (except for the pole I sideswiped at 5 mph in a parking lot last winter in the snow - had the fender replaced and painted. AC works great (re-charged last year) as does the heat and CD player. It's not a show truck but looks pretty good for its age. Only things I can think of that don't work: driver's side power mirror goes up and down, but for some reason not forward and back, and the O/D button hasn't worked in years (but I honestly wouldn't use it anyway.) Smooth, six cyl, regular gas, auto trans, etc. etc. This is a nice truck and, as part of our family for all this time, I'll hate to see it go. NADA value is $5,650, my reserve is way lower. You are welcome to come by for a test drive, I'm in Yonkers, NY. Happy bidding. |

Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards
Tue, 27 Nov 2012Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:

2015 Ford Mustang to offer solid-rear axle, sort of
Tue, 17 Dec 2013One of the biggest knocks against the last Ford Mustang was its solid-rear axle. Not one to actively court criticism, Ford dutifully swapped out the old-fashioned rear end for something a bit more modern in the redesigned 2015 Mustang, adding an independent rear suspension across the board.
While an IRS Mustang is great news for those that value handling and ride comfort, there's one big group that it's bad news for - drag racers. See, a solid-rear axle is a big deal for drag racers, because not only is it more durable and cheaper, but it's better for the hard launches that can make or break a race.
To satiate this vocal demographic, Ford will sell a body-in-white version of the Stang, complete with a nine-inch rear axle, that will debut at the 2014 Performance Racing Industry show. The news came from gas2.org, which cited an unnamed employee of Ford Racing at this year's PRI show.
